The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer said she first saw Yale University alumni emails about Brett Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual misconduct in July. https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2018/9/24/17895740/new-yorker-jane-mayer-yale-university-emails-brett-kavanaugh-deborah-ramirez "Mayer said she and Farrow saw emails sent between Yale alums discussing the incident back in July, before Kavanaugh’s first accuser Christine Blasey Ford went public with her accusations of Kavanaugh sexually assaulting her when the two were in high school." LOL so much for that "hit job by Dems" narrative.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote: In the pages below, you will see multiple photos and references to binge drinking and the accompanying joy of not being able to remember any of it. These yearbooks are, therefore, relevant to the national investigation now being conducted in the media, in homes, and in the halls of Congress. And they should not have been scrubbed. If Brett Kavanaugh’s yearbooks are fair game, so are these.

Considering Scalia's seat was open for over 400 days and just how important the seat is and how long it stays filled and how much of a lying sack this president is and how guilty of near treason offenses I believe he is and how he most definitely sees Kavanaugh as his get out of jail free card, I think we should have an FBI investigation at the very least. Hey - have you seen those new accusations coming against Kavanaugh??? Interesting times!

It's one thing to stay silent on an event, it would be another entirely to write a whole fiction about how he was out of state, who he was with, what he did etc. just to cover up one event. And don't forget that whatever he wrote in his notes can also be cross-checked against other evidence. So what happens to your conviction that Kavanaugh is guilty if his "alibi" turns out to be true?

If we can call into question everyone else's memories of the occasion, we can call their into question too.- SIGNY Yup - absolutely agree. Are you going to get pissed again?- GSTRING Because there's that problem with "false memory". It's very hard to recover a hazy memory without warping it in some way, which is why we would have to rely on the memories of others as well. There are many psychology experiments about exposing a group of people to a staged crime (eg. a "robber" running into the lecture hall and stealing the professor's briefcase/tablet) ... fifty students will remember fifty different things. There will be some things that will be remembered more often (he had a plaid long sleeved shirt and a beard) which are likely to be correct.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: So hang back and keep an open mind. Maybe something will turn up besides allegation. Remember: an "allegation" is an "accusation without proof". So far, all WE have are accusations; nobody else has corroborated those accusations even tho they've been asked. And EVEN IF Kavanaugh is guilty and somehow makes it on to the bench and evidence turns up later, he can always be impeached. So dial down the hysteria and let the process work. It takes time, it's slow and sometimes imperfect, but it's better than lynching someone on the basis of gossip.

Quote:No need to confirm him first then impeach later. Most 35-year-old claims of assault would not be prosecuted, but Maryland has no statute of limitations for felony sex crimes. Last week, the police chief in Montgomery County, where the alleged incident took place, said he would open an investigation if Ford pressed charges.

But why did you frame this as a "second" chance? This quote seems not to have anything to do with that, unless you're referring to Ford having a "second" chance at a criminal investigation. ----------- Pity would be no more, If we did not MAKE men poor - William Blake "The messy American environment, where most people don't agree, is perfect for people like me.

So what? It's possible that people were saying ... "I heard a story but it's not true because Kavanaugh was out with me that night" It's possible that people were saying ... "I was there and it's absolutely true" You have no idea WHAT they were emailing each other, but on the basis that people were "discussing" something you take that a proof of guilt?
Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Here's an example of how that might work on you: We were discussing YOU the other night. A LOT of us were. Yanno, since SO MANY people were talking about you, you must have done something wrong. Maybe you should be locked up in a psych ward? See how that works? Not fair, is it? a) We have no idea WHAT they were "discussing" and b) Even if we did, it's "hearsay" ... gossip. Perhaps something to be followed up on, but not admissible in court.

It's also looking as though the republicans knew of this shit for a while now and tried to run this nomination through before it could be stopped. Women must be besides themselves over this. I feel as though this nomination is over. T

She knowingly did this. The ball is in the republicans court. It's over... If there wasn't an election in November, the Senate Republicans would not care about a third victim. There could be thirty victims and those Senators would immediately confirm Kavanaugh. But voting before the election could reduce the number of votes for Republicans. The Senators are considering that versus displeasing their party's leader, Donald J Trump.

There is nothing stopping Trump from withdrawing Kavanaugh and submitting another. Trump does not owe Kavanaugh a job, since he can return to his previous judgeship. That position is his, not the Supreme Court position.
