evidence is what you submit or state and is not ruled out by the judge. Maybe you guys need more time to research this before continuing with it.
Says the person who thinks no evidence is evidence and that he's guilty because of it.

You do realize you're actually helping prove the case for Kavanaugh, right? What evidence does Ford have? What evidence has she submitted? Right now, there is only her word against his. So, he at least has a calendar showing his movements the summer in question. Has she brought the same? She can't even tell anyone a date, week, month, location - nothing. So if you want to talk about evidence, she is the one severely lacking in any such evidence.

Surveillance cameras have exonerated, and nailed, many a suspect since their invention.

Kavanaugh is made of some sturdy stock, as is his family even as their physical safety has been threatened during this grotesque spectacle.

because if she walks into the police station and tells them her story - with no evidence, complete lack of details, no witnesses, etc - AND tells them it was 35 years ago, they are going to tell her to stop wasting their time

The second question one has to ask oneself is "Is there anything in his ADULT life that points to anything like what Ford describes"?
Nope...

Of course if your a rabid left ideologue those questions won't even resonate or break through the TDS noise...


NOPE. otherwise you need to free the tens of thousands of people convicted of crimes as a 17 year old but tried as adults???


So what is it Jimi? Are you up for freeing everyone who committed crimes under lets say what? 21? 25? where is your line? under 18?


shall we free all people who committed crimes under 18???? or just the rich white conservative men ?

So... Let's say you're applying for a job, or a promotion. Would it be OK for a rivals's friend, etc., to go to the company and accuse you of committing a crime (let's say embezzlement, or vandalizing a school or former employer, etc.) with no evidence whatsoever just to give his/her friend etc., a better chance at the job/promotion? Should the company just believe the accusation even if there's no corroborating evidence?

If that's the new standard, some people are going to have a LOT of fun with that! It'll make the after college job search all that much more interesting... LIE about your rivals before THEY lie about you!

good golly read what i posted.

Statements ARE evidence southbel.


Ford's word is much more powerful than a lack of documentation.




The right needs to pretend that NOT DOCUMENTING YOUR CRIME is proof you did not do it.

Hell if that is all one needs then i should be free to rob a bank just as long as i don't put it in my calendar....

I want women to report it AT THE TIME! Not 30+ years after the fact, when it’s impossible to prove or disprove the allegation.

Or, he's an entitled, privileged pr**k who has gotten whatever he wanted and never been told no in his life.
