    She is being honest about her experience. What could she possibly gain from being "stupid and deceitful". She knew that her family and she would be denigrated and threatened by "stupid and deceitful" people. She is hardly stupid.
    She doesn't teach at Stanford by being stupid.

    Oh well let anyone who didn't drink before they turned 21 cast the first stone.

    I'm curious though.

    What do you think he "lied" about?

    Labeling someone you know nothing about as a ly3r as is commonly the case has nothing to do with due process. People like that are doing it because they have an agenda and as I've seen they label the woman they don't know as a lyier and the man they don't know as the inncent victom every single time.

    Or showed him to be an ordinary man affronted by the abuse he and his family were suffering? If anything the DNCs losses in the Senate in the midterms were a direct result of the sympathy for Kavanaugh

    I realize this is a conversation between you and another poster, but I'd like to answer.

    I found Ford to be a very weak witness. I didn't think she stated her case well at all. But this question isn't about that - its about an opinion regarding BK's fitness for the SC. His testimony - his opening statements and his responses to questions - showed a man (to me) who does not have the temperament to be an effective judge. He has presided over cases, likely, where a defendant was frustrated with questioning. Do you think he would have permitted that defendant to be rude and act out in frustration toward the prosecutor? No effective judge would. So why was it okay for him to do it? For those who were sincerely interested (and didn't have their mind made up), BK displayed a shocking level of disrespect for the proceedings. Yes, he'd been personally attacked, and yes, he was forced to answer to shocking allegations. But his handling of those questions showed me a man unfit for SCOTUS.

    I thought he was fine, he wasn't a robot. Disrespect for the proceedings? Dear lord, think what he'd been through? Dragged through the mud, he and his family abused. The fact that Kavanaugh was outraged by this hideous abuse of process shows he's the right man for the job;

    So how many deaths are Wilson and FDR responsible for?

    As I stated in my original post...do you think that, as a judge, BK has allowed other defendants to act as he did in their trials? Many, many defendants have their lives and families dragged through the mud, but would he have allowed a defendant to be so insolent in responding to prosecutors?

    Absurd. Every death of the American Civil War rests on the heads of the traitorous 'confederates.'

    That is the flawed story taught to you solely by the winning side.

    The "prosecutors" were partly respectful to the justice and some were terrible to the man. Kavanaugh was unfairly treated and tormented by Democrats.

    Yes he is. As our founder, he had flaws.

    Let's not pretend that defendants and their families are not tormented by prosecutors and the media in high profile cases. So lets try this just one more time...do you believe that Judge BK would have tolerated the same behavior from a defendant in his court?

    Mao won and the truth still got out, he was a social conservative also.

    Even if they won, renamed everything with flowery language as people are trying to do the truth would still get out about slavery and their insurrection.

    Abe killing 630,000 Americans.

    Advise and consent does not imply Senators formed to prosecute. Democrat have the mistaken idea they are prosecutors.

    BK would have put a stop to how the Democrats operated in his court.

    Lincoln declared why he invaded VA. And he stated clearly it has nothing to do with slavery.

    But this scholars view found on Quora says this about Abe.

    Probably to the right, not extreme but to the right. He was a war time President and we have only had a handful who faced the decisions imposed during war time and Lincoln was the only to rule during a civil war. Many of his decisions can be questioned but only through the prism of history. He could have simply let the South secede, he chose war over negotiation, probably knowing he had the stronger hand. He allowed Sherman to needlessly burn his way to the sea, a punishment not forgotten in Atlanta. He “freed” the slaves but his intention was allegedly to repatriate them to Africa.

    Well I guess by what you're saying slavery was ok then. I've got an idea, instead of calling them an unfaltering word like slave we can call them nonhumanized workers.

    Then it was fine. Since it was then lawful and also practiced in various continents. Today we view slavery as an evil done to mankind. I used to comment that in the Army Infantry, i too was a slave. Few if any felt bad for we draftees.

    Believe it or not, i consider a lot of things done today by Government as equal to slavery. Take our incomes. Yes Government takes our incomes against our will to dispose of as bureaucrats believe needs done.

    Democrats tried to "Bork" Kavanaugh but it failed to materialize.

    Lincoln did not choose the war, the traitors in the south opened fire on federal troops and made them selves into criminals and villains of history.
