This woman is NOT to be believed. She can't eve remember the year or the place. She incorrectly identified one 'witness,' and Kavanaugh has denied even being at such a party.

Why should we believe ONE woman (who doesn't even know Kavanaugh) over 65 (or more) other women who DO know him.

Why should we let the accuser set the terms of her testimony. The accused has the right to face his accuser, and it is standard practice, in our system that the accuser goes first, NOT the accused. She is demanding that Kavanaugh go first, and that he is not to be in the room when she testifies. That is NOT how our system works.

This woman is a liar. She is bearing false witness.

Wow! Powerful and Beautifully Spoken!!!!!

I can give you one reason why might have not done that as of yet, that would put HER in legal jeopardy AND would most likely result in a "no charges filed" given what we know so far AND would make all of this including everything she's said/saying a matter of public record for all to see.

She would then be open to several legal actions by Kavanaugh, one being making false charges.

Many/most women have been similarly assaulted and have never reported them or even talked about them. Why? Decades ago we were programed to believe sexual assaults were our own fault for dressing a certain way or being at parties where our parents didn't know we were or boys-will-be-boys and nothing will happen if it's reported. Coming forward decades later isn't about wanting someone to be charged for a crime, it's about finally being able to talk about a trauma from your past.

Pathetic attempt at DEFLECTION...…..FAIL!!

PLUS~No way should a KNOWN PERJURER be chosen for the Supreme Court...… also remember that wife-beater Rob Portman was the one who recommended the fine-upstanding PERJURER!


Are Republicans About To Confirm A Perjurer To SCOTUS? Hey ...

I hope Judge K pounds his accuser in the sand and takes Hillary along with the Blah-see lady to the trash heap both together, where they BELONG!

Until the last sentence of your earlier post, your point seemed to be that she wasn't credible since her allegations lacked so many details that a real victim of trauma would have remembered.

Her demands.

Quote:
No decisions have been made on if Ford’s requests will be honored. These are the conditions she is asking for, according to the Senate aides.
  • Ford wants Kavanaugh to testify first and then she will tell her story to the committee, a committee staffer said. That request, though, was unlikely to pass muster because it isn't normal practice to have someone who is accused of something testify first and not be able to respond to claims.
  • She doesn’t want Kavanaugh to be in the room when she is.
  • Ford wants to be questioned by senators, not a special counsel. Multiple news reports on Thursday indicated a female special counsel was being considered to questioning Ford instead of the committee.
  • She wants a single photographer in the room.
  • Ford requested additional safety measures. Her attorney says she's received a number of death threats
  • She said she is willing to testify at earliest on Thursday.
  • She has requested that Kavanaugh’s high school friend Mark Judge be subpoenaed to testify, a move that a committee staffer said was unlikely because it is not traditional for a committee to subpoena for nominations. Ford says Judge was in the room, but Judge has denied the incident took place when they were all high school students.

Some are reasonable, some are not. The two most unreasonable in my mind are him testifying first and delaying it until Thursday (now Friday).

The accused always goes second in our system. The delay is just more political dancing.

Interesting that she is allowing a photographer at all. Why not “no photographer” to protect herself?
