It's only a good point if you operate from the presumption that the charges are valid.

Let's flip this situation. Let's say a liberal judge was being nominated to SCOTUS, and a woman accused him of sexual assault 36 years ago.

Would Republican politicians and City-Data Trump supporters be making a very big deal about this?

Yes, absolutely they would. Just want to make sure everyone is being fair and reasonable here LOL.

There could be more. Often women get brave and speak up after the first one comes forward. This has been documented many many times and they even say that the first woman gave them confidence to come forward. Who knows if there are others or not in this case.

No bias here. That's the old line of BS we hear over and over.

Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her more than 30 years ago, wore a brain-inspired pink p...... hat to San Francisco’s March for Science in April 2017.

He's going after it regardless.

On the other hand, the many questions that have been put forth on this forum about the details of her story will surely be asked of her under oath. I expect to hear credible answers and will not be distracted by her getting all choked up and sobbing. If she gets flustered and walks out, I'll conclude she is at best not credible. If she gets invited to terstify and no-shows, the same.
Very reasonable and I completely agree. I'm sure the committee will ask her some very tough questions, and I hope she can answer them honestly without getting all emotional and choked up.

It's been 36 years and I would never want to downplay somebody's trauma, I'm just saying that I want her story to be judged fairly and on facts....not emotions.

May repubs here have said they should both be heard....as it would be the other way around...sorry, now you're disappointed....


Now, if your scenario did happen, would you be saying she is lying or your fellow dems say it's an outrage and they should have provided the letter earlier....


See, pretty easy....huh...


Yes, absolutely they would.

Another conflict of interest !!! It never stops and the ethics never start.

Kavanaugh

Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s mother, a state court judge in Maryland, briefly presided over the foreclosure of a property owned by the parents of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the California researcher who accused the Supreme Court nominee of sexual assault.

She can not tell which year and where it happened. LOL She is lying through her teeth.

Her scrubbing and bleaching will not be effective. Too many servers, too many archives. You think FB ever completely deletes anything on you? Facebook and Twitter and the like might even get court orders to deliver the data.
