Rule 6: No material information should be withheld from either side. Each side should have a full opportunity to examine inculpatory, exculpatory or otherwise relevant material that may have an impact on the truth-finding process. Specifically, the letter written to Senator Dianne Feinstein must be disclosed to Judge Kavanaugh and to the Senators.
—
That Feinstein refuses to disclose the letter tells the letter is exculpatory for Kavenaugh.
It’s becoming very obvious grassley is willingly subverting Kavanaugh’s nomination.
I don’t see it that way. Look, we are all just as troubled with Trump’s inaction to fire DOJ people as part of his drain the swamp promise. Grassley and Trump, I believe, are simply giving them enough rope to make sure they hang themselves. There is an old expression that revenge is a dish best served cold. When this Ford thing blows up - AND IT WILL - The demoKKKrats will have dug a huge hole that they won’t be able to get out of. Of course, they will claim that Ford duped them, but honest dems will see through that.
Rules? democrats make rules for other people and exempt themselves.
No problem with most of the content- except one question; Why must the person questioning the accuser be a female? What does that have to do with the truth? Every member of the committee has the right to ask any and all pertinent 9 (and as the left has demonstrated, impertinent) questions at will. I doubt any court would allow the accuser the onerous privilege of having a spokesperson ask all the questions before a matter at law. That is a clear violation of due process.
Regarding the condition the accuser has demanded; why would anyone agree to a hearing in which the accused is not allowed to be physically present? There is so much communicated via body language and unspoken word , demeanor and expression etc. that Kavanaugh ought to refuse to be so mistreated by “due process”. If rules of evidence, procedure and decorum are so important, why allow the one main aspect of defense to be disallowed?
I say censure the democrat senators who obstructed this proceeding from the day the allegedly received this letter (is there really a letter?) and regarding the accuser and her rather unsupported claim, let her be subject to all civil remedies available to the accused. hen she can take a slow boat to somewhere other than Australis- they won’t likely accept her as a expat wanna be Aussie- even they , as left as they are, generally respect the rule of law.
Thank you, Mr. Dershowitz.
Even though he is generally liberal in his politics, I greatly appreciate the fact Dershowitz puts the Constitution first.
The Idiot party fell for a Hollywood coordinated PR show from
a New Lib Star.
The Dems must have plotted this with Hollywood PR execs .
Hide the New Star from the adoring Press .
Trash the victim Brent K .
Scare off anyone from defending Brent .
Thomas had defenders but not Brent .
And Destroy the basic right to defend one self in a
Soviet Style Show Trial ..
Mitch and Grassley stepped right into the trap .
Collins and Lisa K will fold like cheap lawn chairs under the
media hype .
Flake conspired with the Dems to help grant time for the Star Reveal .
This explains Grassley's nonchalance and Trump's (unusual) nonchalance.
If all four (4) of her named witnesses deny that something happened, her case has a huge, huge problem!
Grassley wants Ford to appear under oath and her lawyer doesn't. This gives Ford an excuse not to appear. I think Ford would be crazy to appear under oath -- which would move her from civil liability (defamation) into the realm of criminality. (According to Strassel's Tweets, the Washington Post seems to be complicit, they probably have deeper pockets than Ford.)
“It’s becoming very obvious grassley is willingly subverting Kavanaugh’s nomination”
No, he is not. He doesn’t have the damned votes!! If you want to place blame, throw it at the feet of Flake, Collins and the other squish RINOs.
The only rule book the left plays by is Saul Alinsky’s “
Rules for Radicals” written by a Communist and dedicated to Lucifer
Then they have to decide whether to risk a vote or not on the nomination.
In the meantime....at least get it out of Committee...so a Senate vote can be held at the earliest moment.
And Clinton wasn’t impeached and voted out of office why?
That’s a biggy.....The idea that her attorney would even suggest it says a lot.
Rule 3 - no deadlines.
No. DiFi sat on the letter for 2 months, and still is sitting - she lost that privilege. Don’t pretend midterms shouldn’t be a factor. They’re everything now.
All the other people at the party said it never happened including the other girl.
Dershowitz was, until recently, a far-left liberal. The only difference (and it's a big one!) is that he has honor and integrity. For the past few years, the #FakeNews Globe has referred to him as "conservative" because he believes in truth.
Hollywood execs must have helped here .
Yup.
Yes! Imagine that Ford’s team is complaining about a show trial when they’re insisting that Kavanaugh testify first! In this case, there are no formal charges that detail her story.
Dershowitz is old school, and I applaud him for it. Although he is a liberal, his allegiance is first and foremost to the Constitution and the rule of law. I respect him for that. For instance, he does not like guns, but he said that the 2nd Amendment is clear, and that it protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. He said he doesn’t like it, but it is the law, and therefore it should be respected.
