“That Feinstein refuses to disclose the letter tells the letter is exculpatory for Kavenaugh.”

One would think so.

“And Clinton wasn’t impeached and voted out of office why?”

Well, he WAS impeached. He just wasn’t convicted by the Senate.

Imagine if she doesn’t after all these delays! A person posting at the Daily Mail who is a psychologist and a rabid Leftist according to her other posts said right away that she doesn’t believe her. She said victims don’t forget all these details. She said memories of traumatic events are called “flashbulb memories” and are lasting. Certainly, this smacks of failing to give any info that could be denied by others, such as the host of the party, when and where it was, how she got there, and how she got home.

We’ll see if she actually shows up Thursday or requests another extension.

You're absolutely right....I can go back to a bad event in my life and see all the frames....it's like a movie....there is no disconnect....from the beginning of the danger until it is defused. The names of the people involved might not be known at the time.....but something about them is known and they can be sought out.

In her case, she knew everyone....But who invited her to the party in the first place?? Not a detail you would forget.

Whose house...another detail you would not forget

Rules?? AYFKM???
There are NO rules for D’s—you watch, the shitshow which is going on, will continue too.
Grassley had lost control from about the 1 minute mark in this travesty.

The fact that Ford cannot remember two points that could absolutely exhonorate Kavanaugh, WHERE AND WHEN the incident happened, makes me believe she is a lying schemer. He could have a perfectly traceable alibi for, as an example, if she claimed it happened in the month of August, 1982, or even the SUMMER of a specific year...he could have been traveling the entire summer. The “where” could also be proven false. This is a Democrat stunt, nothing more.

She can't testify because she will be hammered under questioning -- on national TV.

At one point I thought her lawyers want Kavanaugh to testify first so they can have his denials and other details on the record before she testifies. Now I don't believe that anymore. They want him to testify first so the Democrats can question him about a baseless allegation that is only "credible" because he is willing to sit there and deny it. Once he is finished, Ford's lawyers would issue a statement that she has a "medical issue" and can't testify.

"She’ll never appear."

Oh, I think she will appear unless the Progressives so disrupt the process that Grassley continues to postpone or cancel the hearing. She is a lefty who wants to help the cause, plus she is going to get wealthy from this process. If that isn't enough motivation, she will be drugged and scripted heavily. Finally, she knows if she backs out after the full on assault on justice, she will be lucky to have any life at all after total destruction and shunning by the Left.

Same for me. It’s like a video playing in your head! That’s why three-quarters of women in the Huff Post poll don’t believe her, IMO. They remember the things along these lines (more or less severe than what she claims) like they were yesterday.

Grassley wants Ford to appear under oath and her lawyer doesn’t.


That is a very good point. If she is telling the truth, why not under oath? Grassley must hold to his stance on that issue. Testimony of such a serious accusation MUST be under oath and every American, even the rats know that. If she gets away with this there will never be a nomination of another judge EVER. Under OATH is key.

And even if she is totally insane and does testify, without corroboration, it is still a she said/he said situation and not enough to derail such an important confirmation. Honestly, I don’t see how we lose here other than a week’s delay.

Under these rules you can make a trite or flippant accusation and get to be treated seriously.

In order to bring an accusation you must first have enough evidence to support the accusation.

Mr. Dershowitz is wrong on the standard. If Judge Kavanagh were accused of sexual assault at age 17 and found not guilty in a court of law, the accusation would have no bearing on his fitness for the Supreme Court today. There is no constitutionally based reason for the standard to be any lower when the accusation occurs 35 years later. Judge Kavanagh is presumed i`oxen until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That is the basis of U.S. law. No other standard is accepptable.

If I were CBF’s attorney, I would tell her to say that it was a very realistic dream that you had. The people you named were all there in the dream.
That is why you didn’t know where you were or the year. You didn’t know how you got there or how you left the scene.

That is why all those you have named don’t remember the party.

Wow! I should have been a lawyer.

Some verses for this occasion:

Proverbs 26:24 He who hates disguises it with his lips, But he lays up deceit in his heart.
Proverbs 26:25 When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart.
Proverbs 26:26 Though his hatred covers itself with guile, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly.
Proverbs 26:27 He who digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
Proverbs 26:28 A lying tongue hates those it crushes, And a flattering mouth works ruin.

Proverbs 12:19 Truthful lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment.

Proverbs 6:16 There are six things which the Lord hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:
Proverbs 6:17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,
Proverbs 6:18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil,
Proverbs 6:19 A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.

God always says it best.
