BREAKING: Second accuser brings new allegation of sexual misconduct against Brett Kavanaugh

No. If I was called out for sexual assault 30 years after the fact, and I was guilty, this is how I would handle it if I was asked.

 

Name the Judicial Nominee that we slandered like Democrats slandered Bork, Thomas and Kavanaugh?

Fifteen years ago, with the Senate in firm GOP control at the start of George W. Bush’s second term, Judge John Roberts was confirmed as chief justice, 78–22. But just a year later, notwithstanding his stellar credentials, Judge Samuel Alito was confirmed by a historically slim 58–42 vote due to near-unanimous Democratic opposition.

In the Obama years, even as it finally dawned on some Republicans that unrequited solicitude might not be the best strategy, the question was still not whether Democratic nominees could be confirmed to the High Court but by how much — Judge Sonia Sotomayor by 68–31, Dean Elena Kagan by 63–37. Those were easy rides compared to last year’s 54–45 nail-biter for President Trump’s first nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch. Like Alito over a decade earlier, Gorsuch faced nigh-unanimous Democratic opposition despite being manifestly worthy, with a proven track record of high-caliber judicial work.

And how would you handle it if you were innocent?

 

Cherry-picking. The Democrats and Republicans slander different people.

Look at all the women slandered by you and your RW friends just from Roy Moore to Brett Kavanaugh. Do you really think that is just? True? Best for America?

 

We are discussing Judicial Nominees. Republicans have NEVER slandered a Democrat Nominee like Democrats slandered Bork, Kavanaugh and Thomas.

Republicans have always confirmed Democrat Nominees by wide margins in deference of the tradition of allowing the President his picks, even though Democrats have NOT returned the courtesy.

Now, with Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, Democrats have gone even lower. Now Republicans are disqualified based on unprosecuted, unprovable, and largely unremembered misconduct that allegedly occurred when they were in high school.

Judge Kavanaugh is as superbly qualified as any jurist ever nominated to the Supreme Court. In a dozen years sitting on the same distinguished appellate tribunal as Bork, Thomas, Ginsburg, and Garland, he has generated over 300 opinions. This prodigious jurisprudence is cited regularly by the Supreme Court, as well as by other circuit courts of appeal and federal district judges.

Kavanaugh’s hiring of clerks has been exemplary by any standard of not only scholarship but diversity (more women than men, a healthy percentage of African Americans, Asian Americans, and Hispanics). If you’re into this numbers game, as the Left surely is (at least when conservative judges are at issue), it’s worth noting that Justice Ginsburg hired no African-American clerks or administrators in 13 years on the D.C. Circuit and has hired only one African-American clerk during her ensuing quarter-century on the Supreme Court. Of course, she’s a good progressive committed to placing her judicial power in service to the March of History, so the matter is quietly tucked into the Left’s bulging “Not to Be Spoke Of” file. Meanwhile, clerks from Kavanaugh’s eclectic stable are coveted by Supreme Court justices on both sides of the ideological spectrum. He has, moreover, been a stalwart champion of women in the legal profession, as well as girls in his community.

Now, however, Kavanaugh’s nomination is imperiled because of a highly dubious, unverifiable allegation of bumbling, drunken sexual aggression when he was a high-school student: An assault the purported victim never told anyone about — not the police, not a friend, not her parents — until therapy sessions 30 years after the “fact.”

Christine Blasey Ford, a Palo Alto University biostatistician and professor of psychology, is a Democrat — a Bernie Sanders contributor and an anti-Trump activist.

There is no way to prove her claims. All the witnesses besides Ms. Ford, vehemently deny it. Ford cannot even place it: She doesn’t recall in whose Maryland home it supposedly happened, what she did afterwards, how she got to or from the place. She never breathed a word of it at the time. When she finally told a therapist about it three decades later, notes indicate that there were four assailants — a discrepancy she blames on the therapist.

Then there is the studiously duplicitous way Democrats handled the unprovable allegation, even as they slandered Kavanaugh’s character. The ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, has known about the allegation for months, yet sat on it — all through personal interviews with Kavanaugh and hours of Senate testimony. On the eve of the committee vote on the nomination, she sprang it as an allegation she decided to refer to the FBI while maintaining the anonymity supposedly desired by the victim. As Feinstein knew would happen, Democrats began carping that the committee vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation could not go forward until the bureau ran down the hopelessly stale, impossible-to-verify claim. Meanwhile, the determined-to-remain-anonymous Ford came very publicly forward, after scrubbing her social-media accounts and retaining Debra Katz, a notoriously partisan Democratic lawyer.

This has all the hallmarks of a set-up. If the Democrats had raised the allegation in a timely manner, its weakness would have been palpable, it would have been used for what little it’s worth in examining Kavanagh during his days of testimony, it would be put to rest as unverifiable, and we’d be on to a confirmation vote. Instead, we’re on to a delay — precisely the Democrats’ objective.

I didn't ask if you were guilty I asked if you were innocent try again.

So if you were falsely accused of being a sexual predator who had assaulted and gang raped women you would just falsely admit to it? You said no so why should Kavanaugh do as you said he should do and not as you would?

 

No it doesn't it means she has no corroboration and cannot prove her claims, that makes him telling the truth,

 

NO they are claiming they being in a room with him sexually assaulting never happened. Close friends who ran in the group said the rape parties never happened.

 

Again with the false narrative. Sad.

Feel free to cite the exact quote, not just your spin of it.

 

The rancor and slander in Washington DC has been rising since the 1980s. Who screamed "LIAR!" at a President? The finger-pointing and blame game is worsening and both sides are to blame.

False narrative. There's a difference between "I don't recall" and "it didn't happen".

 

Yes, in the voters showed the bad manners to the Democrats of electing Reagan, twice, with building landslides.

Then the voters had the bad manners of turning Congress over to the GOP, for most of the last 2 dozen years.

Dems have less power now than at any time since before FDR and with every setback, they go even deeper into their insanity.

 

How does this relate to the fact partisanship and "bad manners" have greatly risen on both sides since the 1980s? You are only blaming the Democrats, but it wasn't only the Democrats who took us into Iraq in 2003. It wasn't only the Democrats who caused the Housing bust, the banking industry collapse, the gas crisis, and continued to increase the Federal debt and deficit.
