Anita Hill 2.0

I'm pretty much fired up regardless.

Are you really telling us: Give me Kavanaugh or I'll give you a Republican Congress?

That's about the worst argument I've ever heard. I'll tell you what, why don't Republicans just choose a non-rapey candidate for the SCOTUS and I'll take my chances with the elections this fall.
No, it is not a ultimatum as I could not deliver, it is an observation. Thanks for clarifying Strawdog.

Exactly, which is why evidence supporting your claims are needed. The more evidence the more better.
Dude she isn't a political activist she is a shrink and like most shrinks she had something dramatic enough happen to her that she made it her career
Keeping women down in this era will be the end of the GOP
But hey go for it always give the man the benefit of the doubt ...no skin off my butt

They will all face this accusation if this is the new standard. Liberal and conservative.
The more common sense take would be that kavanaugh is a lying rapist and the others aren’t

But you have no common sense. You’re brainwashed

Why won’t kavanaugh or judge talk to the fbi?

If I were falsely accused I’d demand an investigation
I say you raped people in the 80s all over the place at unspecified locations. Please demand the FBI investigate. They can be reached at Denver office on (303) 629-7171.

Her claims are being taken seriously and she should go testify in private.

I believe the first step to an investigation is the accuser coming forward to present her story and take questions. If she does this, Kavanaugh will likely be pulled for another candidate and that is fine with me.
She's willing to come forward and they are negotiating how to do so. So your claim she's not is false.

Right now, it is just as you say, her word against Kavanaugh and there are plenty of other people who know something about this. Anita Hill was railroaded in the same manner. I can see why Ford is reluctant to follow her path. How about compelling the guy who was in the room to testify? How about the empowering the FBI to go out and talk with former classmates, especially people who were at that party? How about treating this accusation seriously instead of railroading her into a room with skeptical old men who have shown no interest in acting in the interests of the country, only their party? How about making this a search for the facts rather than keeping it at an unequal level of he-said-she-said.

Why the rush? Are you so afraid that Republicans will lose the Senate that you'd rather risk putting a man with compromised ethics on the SCOTUS?

Her story is much more believable given the fact that Kavanaugh has already lied five times under oath. She came out about this event years before at counseling sessions and with friends. Given the price she paid for coming out on this, I'm ready to say nah. Find somebody else. Since Republicans are soooooo enamored with the rich bastard, then they should mount a full investigation to ensure his name is really cleared and to prevent a cover-up.

Why are you in such a rush over this?

How much investigation has been done by the dems since they received this letter months ago? Senators have access to extra staff to investigate SC picks. Clearly a delaying tactic. Ford need only show up and testify in private and Kavanaugh is likely gone. Repubs clearly want the seat settled before the midterm as they could lose the senate. duh.

How many times has kavanaugh lied under oath already?

Speaking of delaying tactics were you outraged when Republicans delayed filling a supreme court position for over a year?
