Time To Smear Kavanaugh's Good Name...

Honestly? I'm slightly skeptical that Kavanaugh would still behave in the same way that he did at 17. That said how he acted at 17 is inexcusible. Most of us did stuff we weren't proud of at 17.....Now if he had ongoing issues and current sexual harrasment accusations I would be a little more inclined to be very worried about his character. I may be more worried about his politics.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

I may be more worried about his politics.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Finally, Ford has not given nearly enough details to even begin an investigation. She has narrowed the time frame down to a 12-month period at best and can't even say where the alleged incident occurred or who else was there.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

If anything, the local police need to be called in to investigate.

There is FAR more to investigate in the Keith Ellison scandal, but the Dems aren't interested in that at all.
This is entirely politically motivated.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

All the FBI could do, even when making a standard background check, is ask the locals to investigate (unless federal laws were broken). But nobody knows, including Ford, what local authorities to ask. She thinks it might have been in Montgomery County and it might have been some time during the summer of 1982 (she's not even sure about that). With so little to go on all anyone can do at this point is file a report. That is it.

I find it interesting that so many Democrats have come out and said they believe her. Perhaps someone should ask them which version of her story do they believe.

Of course, Ford has a stellar opportunity to answer such questions and clear up any ambiguities: Testify. Until that happens, it's increasingly difficult to find her accusation credible.

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostWho's to say she even would have heard about that? Unless you're actively keeping up with judicial nominations/confirmations, it's highly unlikely you would have heard about any of them (outside of Supreme Court nominations, of course, which get tons of press). The only non-SC confirmation that got any real coverage in the media I recall was Amy Barrett, which was only because of Feinstein's (in)famous "the dogma lives loudly in you" statement that was controversial and got highly publicized.

ETA: And this DID get national coverage at the time:
