During Ford's testimony she said something that I thought was odd
but I wasn't smart enough to understand what it meant.

It was when Ford was being asked about her fear of flying and
she acknowledged it, blaming it on "claustrophobia" as a result
of her experience 36 years ago. She then went on to acknowledge
however that she has regularly flown often in spite of this.

But that's not the odd part.

She was asked why she didn't accept Grassley's offer to conduct
the testimony in California. He said the committee would fly to
her instead of her having to fly to WashDC. The offer was made
in consideration of her claimed fear of flying and the delay
it imposed on the whole process.

In her testimony Ford expressed surprise that Grassley had made that
offer. She said she was "unaware" of it and thanked Sen. Grassley.

That's strange.

A lawyer I heard last night addressed this. He said that
Grassley had sent three letters to Ford's attorneys regarding
the offer to have the committee come to her rather than she
come to WashDC. He said that if her attorneys had withheld
those letters from Ford they were in violation of some codes of conduct
governing their responsibilities. As her attorneys they could be subject
to being disbarred for unethical behavior.

Interestingly, at least one of the attorneys ... the woman ... is a
known political activist and participates in the Trump "resist" movement.

According to the lawyer, she was recommended to Ford by Dianne Feinstein
after Ford sent Feinstein the "confidential" letter regarding her
claimed sexual abuse by Kavanaugh.

I am telling ya. You just can't make this stuff up.

Whatever. Hopefully, Dr. Ford's public testimony in front of the Senate
Judiciary Committee works out for the best.

It didn't occur to me until after Kavanaugh's testimony, but the
political screed he offered during it should be something that
completely disqualifies him from the federal bench...in any judgeship.
He blamed his delay in confirmation on the Democrats, on women, on the
Clintons, on politics. He sounded like Trump. A federal judge isn't
supposed to be political and isn't supposed to behave that way. He's
really Trump's boy. He should be subjected to a writ of scire facias or
impeached for expressing those partisan thoughts.

The Senate Democrats ... and basically all the Democrats who have joined
in the campaign to destroy him, obstruct his confirmation and, as
Schumer said last July, "to use any means" to block him aren't supposed
to act that way either. Kavanaugh's comments didn't emerge until the
Dems in their sleazy antics attempted to destroy him and his family, not
based on past judicial positions, but on his personal life based on some
very questionable claims by a women regarding events that occurred while
they were in high school.

Harry, your party is continuing a move away from all the traditional
values in this country. They are being dumped for only two purposes.

Power and control.

As this saga unfolds it is becoming more and more obvious to anyone with
half a brain what this is all about.

You know, Trump isn't the POTUS because he was the perfect candidate.
He is POTUS because your party's nominee ran a half-assed, lazy campaign
and insulted half the population, all because it was a no brainer to
the Dems that it was "her turn" to be president.

So right-wing Republicans didn't elect Trump. Hillary did.

U.S. Senators and Representatives are political, and therefore it is not
unusual for them to act political on whatever the issue at hand is.
Kavanaugh is a federal judge, auditioning for a promotion. He is not
supposed to be political during the audition or afterwards. He is
supposed to be apolitical. This is not to say a judge cannot have firm
beliefs, but he is supposed to leave those unspoken. He disqualified
himself with those partisan statements and with his utter refusal to
answer a number of questions.

Your boy Trump is the one destroying traditional values and institutions
in this country. You just chalk his insanities and inanities up to
"Trump being Trump."

The rest of your screed was nonsense, so I didn't bother to regurgitate it.

The fact that you are like Trump, someone who doesn't know much about
government, and is proud of it, is demonstrated with your every
political post. Your good buddy Luddite says you are a smart fella, but
I think you are no more than a fart smella. I cannot recall a single
post of yours on any subject that indicated you actually knew anything
of significance. I will admit, though, that you are very good at
displaying your ignorance. Hopefully, you are not the example of the
sort of non-intellect who signs up for the military. If you are, we are,
if there is ever a serious war from a serious enemy, doomed.

You might not mind it, but absent malice, Kavanaugh, a public figure,
would get nowhere with a civil suit alleging libel or slander. It would
be close to impossible for Kavanaugh to prove malice.

Kavanaugh's tempermental outburst should be enough to do him in...hell,
he doesn't have the temperment to serve as a judge in any court.

I am telling ya.Â* You just can't make this stuff up.


Whatever. Hopefully, Dr. Ford's public testimony in front of the
Senate Judiciary Committee works out for the best.

It didn't occur to me until after Kavanaugh's testimony, but the
political screed he offered during it should be something that
completely disqualifies him from the federal bench...in any judgeship.
He blamed his delay in confirmation on the Democrats, on women, on the
Clintons, on politics. He sounded like Trump. A federal judge isn't
supposed to be political and isn't supposed to behave that way. He's
really Trump's boy. He should be subjected to a writ of scire facias
or impeached for expressing those partisan thoughts.


The Senate Democrats ... and basically all the Democrats who have joined
in the campaign to destroy him, obstruct his confirmation and, as
Schumer said last July, "to use any means" to block him aren't supposed
to act that way either.Â* Kavanaugh's comments didn't emerge until the
Dems in their sleazy antics attempted to destroy him and his family, not
based on past judicial positions, but on his personal life based on some
very questionable claims by a women regarding events that occurred while
they were in high school.

Harry, your party is continuing a move away from all the traditional
values in this country.Â* They are being dumped for only two purposes.

Power and control.



U.S. Senators and Representatives are political, and therefore it is not
unusual for them to act political on whatever the issue at hand is.
Kavanaugh is a federal judge, auditioning for a promotion. He is not
supposed to be political during the audition or afterwards. He is
supposed to be apolitical. This is not to say a judge cannot have firm
beliefs, but he is supposed to leave those unspoken. He disqualified
himself with those partisan statements and with his utter refusal to
answer a number of questions.

Your boy Trump is the one destroying traditional values and institutions
in this country. You just chalk his insanities and inanities up to
"Trump being Trump."

The rest of your screed was nonsense, so I didn't bother to regurgitate it.




If you d not say Ginsburg and the other SCOTUS are not political, you are
either stupid or lying.


Oh, sure, Bilious...please provide some cites of Associate Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg making partisan political statements while on the bench,
as Kavanaugh did

You might not mind it, but absent malice, Kavanaugh, a public figure,
would get nowhere with a civil suit alleging libel or slander. It would
be close to impossible for Kavanaugh to prove malice.

Kavanaugh's tempermental outburst should be enough to do him in...hell,
he doesn't have the temperment to serve as a judge in any court.

I doubt he would do it but you can sue anyone for anything even if the
objective is nothing but to get them under oath answering questions
and proving their allegations. You may not have "malice" in the case
of Ford, assuming she can demonstrate this was not just a political
move but Feinstein was certainly malicious in the way she handled
this. I also understand congress people are expected to be malicious
political hacks so she has the perfect defense.

I really think the democrats may be shooting themselves in the foot
here tho. Kananaugh may be the least objectionable of the 3 on your
core issues. You will have a hard time "Borking" 2 candidates in a
row.

I don't see Kavanaugh as dumb enough to try to sue Dr. Ford or Senator
Feinstein. And of course if he went after them in a lawsuit, he would be
subject to being questioned, too, and not as sweetly as he was by the
Republicans on the Committee. Further, if he were as evasive as he was
during the hearings, he'd be cited for contempt.

I wouldn't bet either way at this time on the outcome of Kavanaugh's
attempt at confirmation. He certainly doesn't have the demeanor or
restraint one might expect of an Associate Justice but, of course, this
is the age of Trump in which those judicial attributes do not matter.

That's not the objective. They've got the delaying process down pat.
They want to block Kavanaugh and then delay any replacement long enough
for the mid terms plus 2 months. Technically there may be time to
rush another nominee through the process but unlikely because all the
jerks in WashDC want to get home and get into heavy campaign mode.

Impeach him after he's installed? Be serious. Those are only
threats being circulated by Dems to further dissuade any of their
own and even some Republicans from voting "aye" on his confirmation
but also in preparation for the mid-terms and their respective images
back home.

Believe me, if this sorry excuse for a jurist gets on the

considered dirt. And if the Dems take the House he will be
impeached for lying to Congress, and rightfully so.

There's no doubt there are strong efforts to block Kavanaugh, and for
good reason. I suppose if Kavanaugh is withdrawn, the Repubs could try
to fast-track a replacement before the election and if not, certainly
after the election.

those letters from FordÂ* they were in violation of some codes of
conduct
governing their responsibilities. As her attorneys they could be
subject
to being disbarred for unethical behavior.

Interestingly, at least one of the attorneys ... the woman ... is a
known political activist and participates in the Trump "resist"
movement.

According to the lawyer, she was recommended to Ford by Dianne
Feinstein
after Ford sent Feinstein the "confidential" letter regarding her
claimed sexual abuse by Kavanaugh.

I am telling ya.Â* You just can't make this stuff up.


Whatever. Hopefully, Dr. Ford's public testimony in front of the
Senate
Judiciary Committee works out for the best.

It didn't occur to me until after Kavanaugh's testimony, but the
political screed he offered during it should be something that
completely disqualifies him from the federal bench...in any
judgeship.
He blamed his delay in confirmation on the Democrats, on women, on
the
Clintons, on politics. He sounded like Trump. A federal judge isn't
supposed to be political and isn't supposed to behave that way. He's
really Trump's boy. He should be subjected to a writ of scire
facias or
impeached for expressing those partisan thoughts.

As a wise man said "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are
not out to get you". (alternatively credited to Joseph Heller and
Henry Kissinger)
I saw a man who was surprised and frustrated by a partisan attack on
him that seems to have no provable basis in fact.
If this nomination does go down, I would not mind seeing him drag Ford
and Feinstein into civil court and let them prove this was not just a
politically motivated assault on his character.


You might not mind it, but absent malice, Kavanaugh, a public figure,
would get nowhere with a civil suit alleging libel or slander. It would
be close to impossible for Kavanaugh to prove malice.

Kavanaugh's tempermental outburst should be enough to do him in...hell,
he doesn't have the temperment to serve as a judge in any court.

I doubt he would do it but you can sue anyone for anything even if the
objective is nothing but to get them under oath answering questions
and proving their allegations. You may not have "malice" in the case
of Ford, assuming she can demonstrate this was not just a political
move but Feinstein was certainly malicious in the way she handled
this. I also understand congress people are expected to be malicious
political hacks so she has the perfect defense.

I really think the democrats may be shooting themselves in the foot
here tho. Kananaugh may be the least objectionable of the 3 on your
core issues. You will have a hard time "Borking" 2 candidates in a
row.



That's not the objective.Â* They've got the delaying process down pat.
They want to block Kavanaugh and then delay any replacement long enough
for the mid terms plus 2 months.Â* Technically there may be time to
rush another nominee through the process but unlikely because all the
jerks in WashDC want to get home and get into heavy campaign mode.



There's no doubt there are strong efforts to block Kavanaugh, and for
good reason. I suppose if Kavanaugh is withdrawn, the Repubs could try
to fast-track a replacement before the election and if not, certainly
after the election.


I have no problem with the Dems trying to block Kavanaugh ... for the
right reasons like simple political differences ... but not for the
ridiculous and disgusting reasons they have demonstrated over the past week.

It's strange how these Republicans don't see the **** storm
they're bringing on this country. Don't they know that
putting a partisan hack on SCOTUS will irreparably harm it?
Don't they know that this guy WILL be impeached?
Only thing I can figure is they are unknowingly exhibiting a
"death struggle." I wish it was amusing. It's not.





Funny. The best thing for this country is a reasoned SCOTUS with
a conservative list. (boating term for "tilt").

Impeach him after he's installed? Be serious. Those are only
threats being circulated by Dems to further dissuade any of their
own and even some Republicans from voting "aye" on his confirmation
but also in preparation for the mid-terms and their respective images
back home.

You know ... the usual ... "Fake News".

The Democrat Party has turned into a sleazy, dishonest and disgusting
party. I wish it was amusing. It's not.


Funny. The Democrats didn't nominate a sniveling drunk liar
to SCOTUS. In case you didn't notice, he's a Republican
nominee. Why can't the Republicans find a clean nominee?
Believe me, if this sorry excuse for a jurist gets on the
court, any ruling where he's a deciding vote will be
considered dirt. And if the Dems take the House he will be
impeached for lying to Congress, and rightfully so.


There's really no reason to debate or even discuss this with you.
Your first sentence (after "Funny") says it all. Your mind is
made up, closed and you've condemned before a trial.

Congratulations. You've morphed into a true, card carrying, modern
Democrat.

You mean, the best thing for corporations, the wealthy, the enemies of

Nope. I said for the country. Change will always take place but it
should be slow, measured and controlled. The USA is slowly drifting
towards where you and other Dems want it to be. Personally, I don't
like it but I am aware enough to realize it's happening. I just don't
think it should move too fast.

Really, now you have this guy being impeached and there still has not
been a single credible charge against him and nothing even hinted in
his adult life.
You people are just nuts.
BTW no supreme court judge has ever been thrown off the court and the
last one impeached was over 200 years ago, acquitted of all charges.

The Repubs are afraid to tell their Emperor he isn't wearing any clothes.

I understand in your Trump derangement syndrome everything that
happens is Trump's fault but if any of those 16 GOP candidates had
won, you would see a similar slate of nominees. If it was one of the
righteous right guys they might have even found a more undesirable
person for you.
As I said, of the 3 in the running, Kavanaugh might be the most
centrist.

Don't suppose you would put some money where your mouth is, say $100.
If he is elevated to the SCOTUS, it is over and I have $100 that says
he stays there until he dies.

During Ford's testimony she said something that I thought was odd
but I wasn't smart enough to understand what it meant.

It was when Ford was being asked about her fear of flying and
she acknowledged it, blaming it on "claustrophobia" as a result
of her experience 36 years ago.Â* She then went on to acknowledge
however that she has regularly flown often in spite of this.

But that's not the odd part.

She was asked why she didn't accept Grassley's offer to conduct
the testimony in California.Â* He said the committee would fly to
her instead of her having to fly to WashDC. The offer was made
in consideration of her claimed fear of flying and the delay
it imposed on the whole process.

In her testimony Ford expressed surprise that Grassley had made that
offer. She said she was "unaware" of it and thanked Sen. Grassley.

That's strange.

A lawyer I heard last night addressed this.Â* He said that
Grassley had sent three letters to Ford's attorneys regarding
the offer to have the committee come to her rather than she
come to WashDC.Â*Â* He said that if her attorneys had withheld
those letters from FordÂ* they were in violation of some codes of
conduct
governing their responsibilities. As her attorneys they could be
subject
to being disbarred for unethical behavior.

Interestingly, at least one of the attorneys ... the woman ... is a
known political activist and participates in the Trump "resist"
movement.

According to the lawyer, she was recommended to Ford by Dianne
Feinstein
after Ford sent Feinstein the "confidential" letter regarding her
claimed sexual abuse by Kavanaugh.

I am telling ya.Â* You just can't make this stuff up.


Whatever. Hopefully, Dr. Ford's public testimony in front of the
Senate
Judiciary Committee works out for the best.

It didn't occur to me until after Kavanaugh's testimony, but the
political screed he offered during it should be something that
completely disqualifies him from the federal bench...in any
judgeship.
He blamed his delay in confirmation on the Democrats, on women, on
the
Clintons, on politics. He sounded like Trump. A federal judge isn't
supposed to be political and isn't supposed to behave that way. He's
really Trump's boy. He should be subjected to a writ of scire
facias or
impeached for expressing those partisan thoughts.

As a wise man said "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are
not out to get you". (alternatively credited to Joseph Heller and
Henry Kissinger)
I saw a man who was surprised and frustrated by a partisan attack on
him that seems to have no provable basis in fact.
If this nomination does go down, I would not mind seeing him drag Ford
and Feinstein into civil court and let them prove this was not just a
politically motivated assault on his character.


You might not mind it, but absent malice, Kavanaugh, a public figure,
would get nowhere with a civil suit alleging libel or slander. It would
be close to impossible for Kavanaugh to prove malice.

Kavanaugh's tempermental outburst should be enough to do him in...hell,
he doesn't have the temperment to serve as a judge in any court.

I doubt he would do it but you can sue anyone for anything even if the
objective is nothing but to get them under oath answering questions
and proving their allegations. You may not have "malice" in the case
of Ford, assuming she can demonstrate this was not just a political
move but Feinstein was certainly malicious in the way she handled
this. I also understand congress people are expected to be malicious
political hacks so she has the perfect defense.

I really think the democrats may be shooting themselves in the foot
here tho. Kananaugh may be the least objectionable of the 3 on your
core issues. You will have a hard time "Borking" 2 candidates in a
row.



That's not the objective.Â* They've got the delaying process down pat.
They want to block Kavanaugh and then delay any replacement long enough
for the mid terms plus 2 months.Â* Technically there may be time to
rush another nominee through the process but unlikely because all the
jerks in WashDC want to get home and get into heavy campaign mode.



There's no doubt there are strong efforts to block Kavanaugh, and for
good reason. I suppose if Kavanaugh is withdrawn, the Repubs could try
to fast-track a replacement before the election and if not, certainly
after the election.


I have no problem with the Dems trying to block Kavanaugh ... for the
right reasons like simple political differences ... but not for the
ridiculous and disgusting reasons they have demonstrated over the past week.


It is interesting that nobody has admitted that this is really just
about Roe to them, at least not since they had the Ford thing to wave
around.
I do think this is the first time ever that I have seen a politician
or a potential justice being crucified for what they might have done
as a teenager. We were not even allowed to criticize what democrat
sitting senators and governors did while they were in office.



It really is bizarre. And I also don't think this is as much about Roe
vs. Wade as some Dems would like you to think. The chances of a 40
something year old decision being overturned even with some strong
conservatives on the bench are slim. It probably wouldn't even be
accepted to be considered if a challenge ever made it up through the
lower courts. Those Dems talking about it are just trying to scare
their pro-choice base to turn out the vote in November.

I don't know what to think regarding Ford's allegations. If the
"meetoo" crowd wasn't as vocal and stories of Crosby and others weren't
in the news everyday I wonder if her story would be more reflective of a
goofy, HS party with some drinking going on and teenagers acting like
teenagers. There was no rape. She claims "attempted rape". I find it
hard to believe (as does my wife) that a normal, well adjusted and
mentally stable person would remain "traumatized" over this, 36 years
later. But that's just an opinion.

Plus, the more one thinks about it, the more her whole story doesn't
make sense, not from a standpoint of what she believes happened and
who was involved but more related to how it has affected her. Lots of
holes in it. She claims she doesn't like to fly due to claustrophobia
caused by the "attack". Yet she flies regularly all over the place both
for business and for pleasure.

She says her academic studies suffered due to it.
The "assult" occurred in 1982 (she thinks) when she was a HS sophomore.
Yet, in 1988, four years after HS she earned an undergraduate degree in
experimental psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill. Then a Master's degree in clinical psychology from Pepperdine
University in 1991, followed by a PhD in educational psychology from the
University of Southern California. She also earned another Master's in
epidemiology from Stanford University School of Medicine in 2009.

Hard to imagine what she would have accomplished had her academic
studies not "suffered" due to this on going trauma. Heck, her
multiple degrees makes Harry look like a dunce.

There's really no reason to debate or even discuss this with you.
Your first sentence (after "Funny") says it all. Your mind is
made up, closed and you've condemned before a trial.

Congratulations. You've morphed into a true, card carrying, modern
Democrat.

He's had all the trial he's going to get.
And there's currently no alternative to Democrats.
Sorry.

I don't buy into that, but maintaining Roe is damned important, and
there is little doubt Kavanaugh would crap on it

It is the only thing people were talking about until Feinstein leaked
the Ford letter.
Other than that I think the left is worried about another potentially
pro 2d amendment rights justice on the court and there you have it.
All of your objections in a neat little package.

I saw a time line the other day and she seemed to have totally
forgotten it until there was a hazy reference in 2012. I would ask,
what else happened in 2012?
I do agree the story is shaky at best. She got a ride to the party but
we never heard what happened to the driver. Did someone really just
turn her loose at a drinking party and drive away? Maybe I missed it
but how did she get home? If it was a "20 minute drive" it had to be
hours walking and there were no cell phones so she didn't call a cab.
My bet is this whole thing blows over and we never hear from her
again.
