Just to be clear, you know he almost certainly did it right? Dr. Ford came forward before he was nominated. Also he has full time security guards now and gets welcomed with standing ovations, whereas Dr. Ford keeps having to move because of all the death threats and hasn't been able to go back to her job.
- SpicyLemonZest 8y agoIf you were in Kavanaugh’s position, and you didn’t do it, how would you go about clearing your name?
- neaden 8y agoWell to start I wouldn't have gone up and said a bunch of easily verifiable lies where I claiming boofing meant farting and that I threw up a lot during beach week because I have a sensitive stomach. I wouldn't have had a temper tantrum where I complain about how the Clinton's were somehow behind it. I would have encouraged an FBI investigation into things and encouraged them to speak to the only other witness, Mark Judge.
- sk4rekr0w 8y ago"easily verifiable lies" - comments like this make me happy he's going to be a SCJ for the next 30-40 years
- FilterSweep 8y agoYou’d have to start under the presumption that he didn’t do it.
- repolfx 8y agoIs that true? I thought her claims were investigated in detail and found to be clearly false, with witnesses she said were there saying they had no clue what she was talking about and remembered no such party, her own testimony contradicted itself, etc. And then the fact that she waited decades to do anything about it. The last I heard about Kavanaugh he'd been totally exonerated. There's no reason to believe he did anything to this woman.
- neaden 8y agoNo, that is not what happened. Her claims were briefly investigated, there was only one other witness, Mike Judge, and he was not questioned. No one else remembers that specific party but they all agreed that it was the kind of thing get together they would have gone too, her testimony was consistent, and lots of assault victims wait a long time before coming forward. So you managed to be wrong about everything.
- sk4rekr0w 8y agoThis is an entirely unfair representation of what happened. First, his name was Mark Judge not "Mike" Judge - so get off the high horse about being factually correct when you can't even get one name right. Zero corroborating eyewitnesses, zero recollection of the location of the "party" from 35 years ago.
- votepaunchy 8y ago> Dr. Ford came forward before he was nominated. You know that Kavanaugh was shortlisted by Romney during the 2012 presidential campaign? Predating Dr. Ford's timeline for documenting the alleged abuse during therapy.
- neaden 8y agoI mean if your theory is that she just randomly picked someone from Romney's shortlist of Supreme Court judges and decided to expose herself to a whole bunch of death threats, vileness, and potentially lose her job in the thought that it would discredit him I guess that's theoretically possible. It goes against logic and human nature and compared to the alternate hypothesis of a drunk teenager did something inappropriate it's very unlikely.
- votepaunchy 8y agoYou do realize that she went public with accusations after Trump’s nomination of Kavanaugh? What happened years ago was only privately documented.
