Kavanaugh Can Join Thomas.

By the way - we're up to 3 women making allegations against Kavanaugh.

The third doesn't claim that Kavanaugh assaulted her. She claims that she saw Kavanaugh waiting patiently in line to rape a drugged girl.

Then, instead of alerting parents or police, she kept going to the parties until it was her turn to be gang raped.

So what you are saying is that there are no conservatards who aren't raping scumbags?

Yes, and deplorables too.

[Amarok]

And the downplaying continues 

[Divinity]

Republicans could witness Kavanaugh raping their own children and be totally okay with it. I mean they're okay with priests doing it, so why not judges?

[John V]

Yep, and we like Nazis too!

On Monday night, Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh said in a nationally televised interview that in his younger years, he was focused on sports, academics and “service projects.” But it was his comments about drinking that rankled some Yale University classmates, prompting them to speak out for the first time.

Liz Swisher, who described herself as a friend of Kavanaugh in college, said she was shocked that — in an interview focused largely on his high school years and allegations of sexual misconduct — he strongly denied drinking to the point of blacking out.

“Brett was a sloppy drunk, and I know because I drank with him. I watched him drink more than a lot of people. He’d end up slurring his words, stumbling,” said Swisher, a Democrat and chief of the gynecologic oncology division at the University of Washington School of Medicine. “There’s no medical way I can say that he was blacked out. . . . But it’s not credible for him to say that he has had no memory lapses in the nights that he drank to excess.”

Lynne Brookes, who like Swisher was a college roommate of one of the two women now accusing Kavanaugh of misconduct, said the nominee’s comments on Fox did not match the classmate she remembered.

“He’s trying to paint himself as some kind of choir boy,” said Brookes, a Republican and former pharmaceutical executive who recalled an encounter with a drunken Kavanaugh at a fraternity event. “You can’t lie your way onto the Supreme Court, and with that statement out, he’s gone too far. It’s about the integrity of that institution.”

God you are one insensitive asshole attacking the victim.

When you are that young, in high school and or in college your social circles overlap DUMBASS! Saying she saw him after does not mean she was lying. It merely means she ran into him again.

Even with bullies and even as adults at work, a bully is not someone you can avoid 100% of the time. Seeing that person again after what they do to you is very common. 

I've had bosses whom never raped me, but he were mental bullies. Assholes like you would say "Why not quit" or "Why do you keep going back". Crap like that is an oversimplification and ignorant.

Weather it is sexual assault or bullying or domestic abuse, or workplace bullying or harassment, to say "just leave" is simply IGNORANT insensitive BULLSHIT!

Assholes like you are why assault gets under reported.

Ramirez’s attorney John Clune announced that his client is willing to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee

Savannah Guthrie asked if Ramirez will agree to testify even if there’s no FBI investigation, as she has requested. “That’s a decision I’ll certainly let her make … but it wouldn’t surprise me if she would agree to do that,” he said. “We’ll wait to see if she gets that invitation and we’ll go from there.”

Asked about the New Yorker article’s report that it took Ramirez six days of carefully assessing her memories and talking to her attorney before speaking to the magazine, something Trump mentioned on Tuesday, Clune replied: “She wanted to make sure that her recollection of what happened and what information that she was going to put forth … was accurate. So she hired Stan Garnett, who is a career prosecutor and someone who is very experienced in handling sex crimes. [He] knows how to work with victims, knows how to talk with victims in ways that are not suggesting information to make sure they can work through their recollections and come up with the information they know is accurate. That’s what they did.”

Nervous that more damaging revelations about Kavanaugh could still emerge and prodded by Trump in private phone calls, Senate Republicans have decided to step up the pace to get Kavanaugh across the finish line. Even before Ford’s testimony, the majority scheduled a markup for 9:30 a.m. on Friday morning to advance Kavanaugh out of committee. They’re also considering the unusual step of keeping the Senate in session through the weekend so that they can run down the clock and force a vote of the full Senate next Tuesday — or possibly earlier. GOP leaders told their members during a closed-door caucus lunch yesterday that they should prepare to stay in Washington this weekend for Kavanaugh and not plan to return home to their states.

Yeah, it's obvious the Republicans give a shit about the truth.

Indeed victims should not have to form their lives around their abusers .The victim should not have to quit the abuser should be punished for abusing .The domestic abuse victim should not be blamed for returning the abuser should be . Beta Fail is ans asshole in every sense of the word .

Charles Grassley, "Do as I say, not as I do."

There is a code of conduct for federal judges that would similarly render Kavanaugh unfit for office should the sexual misconduct allegations against him be proved in an ethics proceeding. But at the moment, ethics complaints against federal judges are handled in-house and closely guarded by the judges themselves. In 2016, there were more than 1,300 such complaints throughout the country, but only four were investigated. An average of fewer than one judge per year is criticized by his or her colleagues for misbehavior.

Ironically, Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has repeatedly proposed legislation to create a judicial inspector general, which would have authority to investigate and report on allegations such as those recently levied against Kavanaugh. As my office did in the Hedges case, such a federal inspector general would collect extrinsic evidence and take sworn testimony in a professional deposition setting from many more witnesses than the two principals whom the Senate Judiciary Committee will limit itself to interrogating in a political setting.

Kavanaugh says he never blacked out from drinking. Can he swear to it?

Once believed to be primarily a problem of advanced alcoholics, blackouts are in fact common among young drinkers, according to recent research. In a pioneering study led by Aaron White, then of Duke University, 51 percent of college students who had ever consumed alcohol answered yes to the question “Have you ever awoken after a night of drinking not able to remember things that you did or places that you went?” Among respondents who had consumed alcohol during the previous two weeks, nearly 1 in 10 reported having blacked out while doing so.

We’re not talking passing out. According to White, who is now a senior scientist at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, blackouts occur when alcohol interrupts the formation of new long-term memory in the brain. People in this state of amnesia may appear relatively competent to observers. Using already existing memory, combined with new stimuli, they can engage in activity, carry on brief exchanges, recognize friends — even, yikes, operate cars.

But there are telltales. Perhaps you’ve met an overserved bore who keeps repeating the same fragment of conversation. It’s partial amnesia — he can’t remember what he said three minutes earlier. Or think of that tipsy person who can’t remember where she left her purse.

Unfortunately, this isn’t just a harmless matter of nattering and misplaced possessions. White and other scientists have documented more serious offenses that can vanish from a social drinker’s memory. In White’s 2002 survey of 772 college students, “many respondents later learned that, during the blackout, they had vandalized property, driven an automobile, had sexual intercourse, or engaged in other risky behaviors.”
