Where’s the fairness??!
Then that's what the "Aunt Lydia" prosecutor from AZ the Pubs hired to hide behind should have brought out on Thursday. Because that certainly would have destroyed her credibility.

The fact that they didn't come within a country mile of any question approaching that casts heavy doubt on your claim.

I first thought he was another "Neil" clone, but the quality didn't go in when the name went on!

I hope your sons are never in a position like this. But, if they are, would you want them vilified non-stop across all media, denied or fired from a job, or even tossed in jail, with nothing other than some woman from almost 40 years ago saying so?

Don't believe me? Just try and find that stuff on the web.
No, I don't believe you. Why would her school records be public, mine aren't? Disappearing yearbooks- that would be quite a feat since there are probably hundreds of students who have one in their possession as well as the school itself, public libraries, etc.

Give us your name so we can see if we can find your school records online.

Oh, darn, FERPA prohibits us from seeing your school records.

And guess what? FERPA covers Ford, too.

SAD!

Just try to google them then.

Try to find:

her yearbooks
any picture of her besides the one in sunglasses
any paper she's written

I don’t agree, I think it casts heavy on the biased double standards played out at the hearing —soft balls for Ford, hard balls for Kavanaugh.

The Republicans chose this route because they were terrified of questioning Ford themselves, knowing they would look like a bunch of knuckle-dragging cretins. It was their choice.

I agree that it backfired on them. But no worries, Lindsay Graham managed to let the world know that even having the audacity to question Kavanaugh was shameful, shameful, shameful. Not a word about Ford's testimony, just how awful it was that the Democrats dared to question poor Brett.

He made sure to let the world know the Republicans are fine with sexual assault. Although from their support of a serial sexual assaulter in the White House I guess we already knew that.

You haven't been paying attention to the facts. The MAJORITY of victims NEVER say one word to anyone, even their families or friends. Shame, the desire to have it go away, and the fear of repercussions make them choose to keep quiet. Look at how some have treated her on here, victims KNOW they will be made to look like the bad person by some, so they put it behind them and leave sleeping dogs lie. They figure what good would it do, and who would believe them.

Your post is a perfect example of the things victims try to avoid. Instead of looking at what courage it must take to come out, you look for little things to discredit her. Dr. Ford was a VERY credible person, with no agenda, she did not embellish to make her case stronger, she simply told the truth and nothing more.
