So, you think ford hurt or helped women?

So what kind of fireworks should we expect on Saturday night after Judge Kavanaugh gets voted in as new SCOTUS?

In Berkeley? Portland? Baltimore?

Orrin Hatch wouldn't know sexual abuse if it slapped him on his ass.

Both he and Flake wouldn't know alcoholism nor what it looks like when someone is a dry barely functional drunk.

They will regret this day.

No worry........ republicans will pick up three seats in the Senate. After the first of the year Clarence Thomas will announce retirement and Trump will appoint a woman. Problem solved.

I cannot disagree but certainly react less vehemently. Maybe one needs to be convinced the allegation was false. Maybe there are so many political circuses and smears these days that this becomes yet one more. All unfair, all unwarranted with none justifying the next.

Regardless ... neither Ford nor Feinstein should have gone public ... more generally, if there is any bulwark against wrongs it is to hold sacrosanct a respect for veracity, treat information or data with equal respect, then accept folks will come to whatever decisions they may - and accept those decisions without anger or rancor.

Too bad none of that's a reality these days.

In other words, the sky is blue, republicans are partisan no matter what. Even Flake says so. So what else is new?

I’m a woman, and I am not happy at all...with the Democrats. I think you guys underestimate women and their common sense and understanding of the rule of law. We aren’t all demanding Kavanaugh’s rejection because some men are rapists and sexual assaulters. He’s not a stand-in for guilty parties. And the things people have brought up about his high school and college days is nothing short of absurd.

And anyone who claims that women must be believed is just stupid. I’m sorry, but that’s not what hundreds of years of western jurisprudence is about. Are we going to have as a bedrock principal innocence until proven guilty, or just do away with it all and people just disappear into prisons based on accusations, al la 1984?
