So, at this point I think Dr Ford doesn’t testify.

My guess is that they wanted to use the Dr Ford accusation to see if they could push out the vote until after the election, but knowing that the Republicans will eventually call their bluff, they’ll at least get to spin it with the whole “the Republicans wouldn’t even listen to this poor victim’s testimony”. Either way, I don’t think her testifying was ever something the Dems wanted. But we’ve got a couple days so we’ll see if she gets over her fear of flying.

Now that the PUBS have a female to do the queshoning

And they have probably unearthed some questionable behavior in her past, I tend to agree...

until she speaks for herself. I doubt she will show. She may not have sanctioned this entire mess.

There are, of course, some real questions

And everyone should use caution in just blindly believing her or Kavanaugh.
But let's be honest. If this were an Obama appointee, and a woman came forward in the same fashion, you and all the Trumpies would be squealing in her favor.
It's all partisan hackery on both sides.
The smart thing to do is understand that we can't really prove both sides, and thus we have to simply err on the side of innocent until proven guilty.

I support Kavanaugh's nomination.

You'll find nothing I've said to doubt the witness. What you may find is criticism for the dems' presentation including the perfect timing which confounds constitutionally lawful guidelines.
Pubs had not only constitutional right but lawful obligation to not bring Garland's nomination to the floor. Pubs controlled the process by the power of the people in fair elections.

It is, and whether she's telling the truth or not, the Dems are taking political advantage of it.

Disagree. They also played cheap political games until the 2016 election.

they wanted to get kavanaugh in front of the senate and try to catch him in a lie, because right now that is their only hope of delaying this thing any further and could give them grounds for judicial impeachment down the road, a huge stretch. Otherwise it is going to be utterly impossible to prove anything, and as we have learned from Clarence Thomas, Republicans do not care if they nominate an accused sexual predator, as long as he walks the party line.

Are we ready to abandon process of law?
Sep 26, 2018, 8:37 AM
|

At what point do we twist reason in our law enough that an allegation has the same merit as a guilty verdict?
Are we not all innocent until proven guilty? Does this not include men as well as women? Can we reason together?

for one of the highest seats in our government, you would hope that there would be a little more scrutiny and that they would just pick another guy from an incredibly large pool of candidates that are in lock step with Kavanaugh's beliefs. But in this case we know why trump is sticking to his guns here, this is HIS guy.

6 FBI investigation isn't enough?

It was enough for all the previous candidates except Thomas who had to play the race card to overcome the dems' nonsense.

We would be fools to walk away from this process based

on this most flimsy of accusations. If a pathetic show like this...a 37 year old accusation of possible attempted rape during high school at a house she can’t remember, that she was at for a reason she can’t remember, with witnesses she identifies who say it never happened, with a letter to Congress that was held for several months until the vote, with absurd demands about FBI investigations and wanting to drive to the hearing (still can’t get over that)...if we were dumb enough to let that derail the Presidents nominee, we would deserve the $### show that would follow.
This isn’t working (I hope) because it is pathetic. It would be worse for the Democrats if it DID work, because turn-about is fair play in DC.

There is no such thing as a lie detector test.
Sep 26, 2018, 12:19 PM

We have no test which detects a lie. What the polygraph test determines is the reaction that a subject has to the question being asked. Sometimes the particular question itself will introduce or expose the subject to a something strange enough to trigger the subject enough to set off a reaction which the polygraph will indicate is a problem.
If I asked you why did you beat your wife your reaction would be such that the untrained reader might interrupt the results as a lie no matter what your answer. Of course that is a radical example but it expresses the logic behind the reason a 'lie detector,' is not admissible in a court.

You can bet the farm that 1 of 2 things happen tomorrow:
1.) Ford testifies, or
2.) Reps. call off the hearing because of new information provided by Ford and Swetnik.
I would further venture that within the next 48 hours Kavanaugh withdraws.
