(it's also not "brilliant" because it was copied, a different point) garland was nominated with plenty of time to get appointed. a fair consideration of his worthiness should have occurred and he should have gotten appointed if he was deemed worthy.

Indeed, even one of the few offensive moves I can remember (GOP handling of Garland) was simply copying a new low/strategy first set by the Democrats (Biden rule). |

|
Date: September 19th, 2018 2:32 PM Author: Maniacal Legend Stag Film the question of whether he lied is not one of opinion. "I believe her!" is not enough. You actually need to show that he knew it happened and said later it didn't. Like Bill Clinton, who did this numerous times yet is still a liberal hero.
If it is just he said, she said - especially if she doesn't show up - then you can't say he lied |
|
Date: September 19th, 2018 2:35 PM Author: Trip flushed theatre alpha There was some other allegation of lying, though. Like what he knew about Kozinski, I think.

|
Date: September 19th, 2018 2:30 PM Author: Trip flushed theatre alpha I disagree that it's totally irrelevant. If you take what she said as 100% true, exactly as she said it (i.e., he tried to forcibly take her clothes off while covering up her mouth), I think that's relevant.
But I agree that, even if what she says is *mostly* true, it's not necessarily dispositive on his ability to be a good justice. |

|
Date: September 19th, 2018 2:31 PM Author: Maniacal Legend Stag Film I get why he did it
if it is a lie (like they find an email where he says "oh man betsy wasn't into it!"), then he's done here.
If he literally forgot, which is also possible, and somehow she can prove it happened, it probably doesn't matter because the fact that she can prove it means he's probably done anyway. That's not really fair but the "it doesn't really matter" probably won't win given how tight the margin in the senate is
so why not just say it didn't happen? |
|
Date: September 19th, 2018 2:35 PM Author: Sooty principal's office brethren get why he did what? yeah, email didn't exist when this occurred she can't prove it in any reasonable way. she apparently told nobody about it for 30 years. if she could prove it, i'd still think it's bullshit, but that's a different discussion. she can't. there is no reason to believe otherwise.

|
Date: September 19th, 2018 2:15 PM Author: Autistic Forum Sneaky Criminal I don't know what the deal was with the timing of the release. It does seem like Feinstein was being kind of shady there, but its possible she was just following the wishes of the accuser. Otherwise, what do you expect them to do? It's a pretty serious allegation even if it was a long time ago. Are Democrats just supposed to ignore it and wave the guy through? Come tf on. I'm sure if the tables were turned McConnell would have already shut down the government some how. |
|
Date: September 19th, 2018 2:19 PM Author: Maniacal Legend Stag Film you are assuming away the problem in your first paragraph
the primary issue is that feinstein just sat on it until the opportune time to try to delay
also all the dems tweeting "I believe Dr Ford!" while knowing nothing is unjustifable |

|
Date: September 19th, 2018 2:22 PM Author: Autistic Forum Sneaky Criminal I'm not going to defend Feinstein. She sucks anyway. Once the allegations were released its incumbent upon the Senate to figure out whether there is any truth there before they give this dude a lifetime appointment. People can say who they believe or not at this point - it doesn't particularly matter. IMO she has no reason to lie if this is something she has been talking about for years. But its not my call. |

|
Date: September 19th, 2018 2:27 PM Author: french aggressive affirmative action potus Yeah it probably will be. NEET internet trolls be damned, she’s set for life
As for the therapist “note”, she didn't even mention his name. Not that it would be evidence of anything anyway. Not even Feinstein believes this. Just chalk it up as another L |
|
Date: September 19th, 2018 2:27 PM Author: Trip flushed theatre alpha " IMO she has no reason to lie if this is something she has been talking about for years."
I am constantly amazed as smart people saying something along these lines. Have you not seen how people react to the *possibility* of Roe v. Wade being overturned? They treat it like a fucking holocaust. Can you know imagine someone thinking they have something to lose if Kavanaugh is seated as a justice? That's a reason to lie. It doesn't mean she *is* lying, but it's not a hard motive to imagine. |
|
Date: September 19th, 2018 2:29 PM Author: Autistic Forum Sneaky Criminal Sure, if this was something she just came up with.

Date: September 20th, 2018 12:25 AM Author: salmon flatulent resort To be fair,
Can you ELI5 why the FBI can/should "investigate" this?
I'll let you assume for the sake of simplicity that FBI jurisdiction is appropriate here, though it's almost certainly not because there's no allegation that any federal crime was committed, and that jurisdictional issue in and of itself is fatal to her "request" as a threshold matter.
In return, when formulating your answer, please do me the courtesy of addressing *with specificity* the precise factual circumstances surrounding this incident that you believe the FBI is *better* positioned to "investigate" than Congress -- bearing in mind that (1) Ford knows as well as anyone on this Earth who else was present at the party in question and she either can or cannot remember their names/identities, and (2) if she can recall names/identities, Congress has the power to subpoena those individuals and extract sworn testimony from them under penalty or perjury. And no, the mere fact that she's "not comfortable" answering "tough" questions from "mean" Republican Senators doesn't cut it -- particularly in light of the fact that she has now voluntarily made her identity public, and the further fact that notwithstanding that decision the Judiciary Committee has specifically offered to take her testimony in a closed-door session. |

Date: September 19th, 2018 2:43 PM Author: Maniacal Legend Stag Film both sides have made up their mind due to politics, of course
but, if you were taking this seriously, for me, the issue is there is nothing more to investigate. She admits there were no other witness other than the Judge guy, who says it didn't happen (not that he's credible, but that's his story). She doesn't have details about time, location, place. It probably isn't a crime. There is nothing to discover, there is no additional evidence. FBI won't touch it because its not a national security concern, local authorities won't touch it unless she files a formal complain, and there is nothing they can do with it anyway - it wasn't rape and i doubt whatever it was can even be prosecuted under statute of limitations.
Everyone knows this - which is why feinstein sat on it for six weeks - because if it came out six weeks ago, they would have had six weeks to say that there is nothing out there and the dems would have nothing to complain about now.
So what do we have? he said, she said, and a democratic senator who is playing dirty
Personally, I don't think even if it happened exactly as she described it that it is relevant given that he was 17, it doesn't seem to have been a crime, and he has a 35 year record that is spotless. I understand that is likely the minority (or at least the "silent majority") view.
And perhaps she isn't lying, but we all know that witness testimony and memory can be very unreliable. People believe things happened that didn't happened, or after reliving something over and over again come to remember it being much worse, or involving different people, than it actually did. That is why there is a system that requires evidence, etc.
If you think if he did that at age 17 that it is disqualifying, then you either need to give him the benefit of the doubt when he denies it and say it is not reasonable to allow unsubstantiated allegations to sink someone, or you take a view that this is a lifetime appointment and we just can't take any risk. I'm of the former opinion.
What's the point of delaying? Feinstein, Schumer, Kamala and Spartacus all decided no a year before this guy was even nominated. The whole suggestion that we need an investigation is just a silly political game. |

Date: September 19th, 2018 2:46 PM Author: Autistic Forum Sneaky Criminal This is much more reasonable take than the other clowns in this thread. IMO Kavanaugh is a party hack who lied in his very first statement after being nominated, and is lying about this as well. But I understand why other people may not agree. I don't see what the harm is in taking a little more time to figure out whether there is any truth to these allegations. McConnell sat on Garland for 9 months. A few more weeks won't kill anybody. The Senate used to care about its role in advise and consent - now its just a political football both ways. Lesson, as always, is that the Senate sucks ass. |

Great! Maybe going forward, we should just automatically accuse every Dem politician and nominee of watching child porn. I mean, that's really serious, right? Don't you agree that if these politicians are all watching child porn, that we should put in a FULL investigation? Why should we provide any evidence or testimony without a FULL investigation first?

In an ideal world, Republicans respected Senate traditions of decorum and gave Garland his opportunity to receive the consent of the Senate. They did not do so for purely political reasons. They have behaved similarly awfully with respect to gerrymandering and the use of investigative committees to score political points against Clinton in advance of the 2016 election.
