Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh Testify: A Closer Look

[@lindseygale9521]

She gave voice to millions of victems all over the world who have no voice ! Thank you !

[@OriginalJimShorts]

That was raw courage! Shitty that her and her family needed security from nutjobs just for her to state her story.

[@OriginalJimShorts]

@KanadianSpaceProgram I thought she was coherent and stated many facts that a victim of abuse would have ingrained in their consciousness. Especially since the assault happened when she was 15.

[@henryjw15]

OriginalJimShorts she didn't state any facts, her own witness couldn't collaborate her own story. So it's her say vs he say, actually it's her say vs they say.

[@smoothjester07]

If this is just a Democrat tactic, why did no one come forward for Justice Gorsuch? Why have there been plenty of other high profile Republicans run without these accusations? It is because this guy is guilty.

[@Boofyre]

excellent point. thanks!

[@hollygolightly3333]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[@foreveryeung52]

Yeah Sen Harris did a really nice a really nice job of laying out this point, noting that Gorsuch also graduated from Georgetown Prep, had an elite education, and served in the federal court circuit, and yet no allegations arose against him. Kavanaugh did not have a good answer.

[@pietrojenkins6901]

His very public attacks on the left & the Clintons means he'll never be a fair judge.

[@crichter1724]

Pietro Jenkins...you make a good point! The fact that Kavanaugh IS so partisan and WON'T be a fair judge is exactly why the Republicans (and especially President Trump) want him on the Supreme Court so badly.

[@katsiegel451]

Kavanaugh's already bought and paid for.

[@carmeldebertaut5736]

I suspect going to the science of memory and other things was Ford going to her comfort zone more than anything else. She was very impressive through the entire hearing.

[@nadadoyle8926]

1) Kavanaugh continued to refer to a piece of evidence that Ford debunked. He claimed that Ms. Kaiser said she didn't know him or recall the incident. Ford stated clearly that her friend has been ill and had apologize about the letter to Ford, saying that Kaiser's lawyer wrote the letter without consulting her. 2) After the female prosecutor Republicans hid behind (because they don't know how to ask women questions like big boys) hit on a particular date in Kavanaugh's calendar-- July 1st--which indicated he was going to a party with some of the other males Ford said were at the party she recalled, Republicans switched tactics and stopped using the prosecutor to speak for them. 3) Kavanaugh routinely answered with non-answers and distractions. He seemed to be claiming that people from Yale and A-students could not also be capable of sexual assault. 4) Kavanaugh refused to say whether he would support an FBI investigation, at one point when asked about an investigation starting to whine about how he asked for a hearing the day after the allegation. Except that no one said anything about a hearing. Holding a hearing doesn't solve the problem. An investigation would potentially benefit him if he's innocent, but strangely neither he nor Republicans want any more information on the matter. He then pretended that being questioned by Senators in the hearing (a format he has lied in before) was the same as an FBI investigation. 5) The hearing demonstrated the usual Republican tactic of projection. They have run an unethical confirmation process where they have withheld millions of pages of documents about Kavanaugh's past, refused to let the public hear about information in many documents, refused to have any other witnesses (including Mark Judge, who was part of the alleged assault), refused to hear from any of the other women who came forward, who refused to call for further FBI investigation, and who staged their own partisan investigation using Grassley's own staff people, and the GOP senators and Kavanaugh complained about how Democrats were causing problems by calling for a fair, normal process instead of the unprecedentedly biased one the right staged. 6) After portraying himself as a non-partisan, fair judicial nominee, Kavanaugh flew into a partisan conspiracy-theory laden rant that demonstrated he does not have the temperament for the Supreme Court.

[@SnowWhite-dr6xh]

Nada Doyle 7) Nobody reads long comments like this.

[@kirstencouly9754]

i sat through the ten hour long hearing and i am still 100% sure that kavanaugh is guilty. but i still have family members supporting him without even watching ford’s testimony and bringing up pointless and random evidence as to why her accusations are false, like the fear of flying. it’s interesting how republicans will bring up the most minuscule of issues to prove their points and blow it way out of proportion to make it seem as a bigger deal than it actually is.

[@kirstencouly9754]

FlatusOhlfahrt not feminazi or bullshit. just facts. watch the full hearing to see the contrast between an honest and genuine woman, and an angry man dodging questions and disrespecting democratic senators. sexual assault accusation aside, the hearing was actually his job interview, and i don’t even think he should be on the supreme court because of how he acted. he continually cut off democratic senators mid-question and asked one of them if she’d ever drank so much that she’d blacked out after she got done explaining that her father suffered with alcoholism. he was temperamental and insubordinate and completely out of control of his emotions. someone like that shouldn’t carry the title of supreme court judge.

And trust me, once it has started, we will hear no more of Dr. Ford... Because it has never been about that.

[@akrasimi8536]

Anyone else notice that when his appointment was basically guaranteed he was super calm. But now that people are legitimately giving it thought he's losing almost all composure. When a predator is finally backed into a corner his* true colors start to show. Edit: fixed the word "his" to "their" because people were butthurt and thought I was only saying men could be predators and not women, even though my post was only about B.K. in this instance. Edit2: changed it back.

[@derkaturka]

"his"- should be "their". Women can prey on others too.

[@gracious1111]

No. "A predator" is singular. And it is a man that the writer is talking about. "His" is the right word. Don't muddy the waters.

[@derkaturka]

G. P.-No Muddying the waters here, just saying that "him" implies that only men can be predators, which is not factual, when women can and do the same thing. Now is the post about B.Kavanaugh yes, but to generalize that much is sordove America's problem right now. I would never generalize about race, creed or gender today, just because we are being divided enough as it is. But your point is duly noted.

[@glennblnco]

derkaturka it’s not about generalization, it’s about context. Stop zoning on a single word, instead understand the context in which the whole thread is based upon.

[@derkaturka]

Thanks, I was NOT* "Butthurt" just saying that there is enough divide in the country already, and to make the, hasty generalization, is a logical fallacy, simple as that. But, name calling, or ad homenim attacking me is usually reserved for the right-wing, am I wrong?? Must say, that to was a bit hasty?!?!?

[@earlenewallace8445]

I've been where Dr.Ford had been and unfortunately, worse. What struck me most was her calmness and humility. Kavanaugh was vitriolic and unapologetic, despite his own admissions of his more than boys will be boys stance on his behavior. It was riveting history. I am in awe of her.

[@Inkbleedful]

So you wouldn't be furious if people called you a rapist over and over again with no credible evidence?

[@kacevang7464]

And I would want my name clear meaning I’d take that polygraph test, I’d accept the FBI’s help. Bratt Kavadouch is like a petulant scared bully who knows he has DNA under his finger nails after having assaulted someone and now results to praising himself in hopes that no one notices his nails and sitting on his hands refusing to let the FBI swab his nails for evidence because he’s says he’s so great and awesome.

[@madoldbatwoman]

She certainly sparked a few memories in me too. The hand over the mouth, the crushing weight. Most telling for me was the fear that he might kill her accidentally. That's a tiny detail, one that doesn't always get talked about when recalling these types of assaults. But I remember it, and the 4 other women I've talked about this testimony with agreed: The fear that, whatever else he was trying to do, whether it was a genuine attempt at rape or 'just messing about for a laugh' (at a terrified female's expense) - with a hand being held over your face and the weight pressing you down, you panic because you feel you could easily be suffocated here! There are plenty of men in prisons who absolutely never meant to *kill*. They meant to beat, humiliate, grope, rape ... but they never meant to kill. Enough is enough, there needs to be a fire and Kavanaugh is one of the men who should be on it.

[@mellosays]

Shouldn't a Supreme Court judge be impartial and free of politics? Kavanaugh's speech was totally political, siding with the republican side of the committee. His rhetoric was very much like Trump's. In fact, it sounded as though he was just repeating what Trump says. This alone should raise red flags for the American people.

Whether Kavanaugh is guilty of the allegations or not really should not be what worries you about his paranoid accusations today. What should worry you is that his response WAS paranoid and that he latched onto a conspiracy theory as the basis for his argument. This action reveals much about the actual man and his values, as it pierces the veil of his otherwise "safe" pre-packaged testimony from previous weeks. Was his combative, spiteful performance today indicative of the type of person we Americans want to sit on the highest court of our land, where a measure, SOBER demeanor is required to evaluate the most profound legal questions that our nation must confront? No person is an angel. However, Kavanaugh appears to have very troubling character issues. And we Americans deserve to have a better individual - conservative or liberal - ascend to the bench.

Regardless of whether he is an innocent man defending himself against false claims or a guilty man trying to protect himself from the truth, no reasonable human being, especially not one who could possibly have the final say in how the Constitution is intepreted, should act that way. No composure. No professionalism. No dignity. It's like he's a child.

This has been more than enough to deny Kavanaugh's appointment, to my mind. I do not condemn Kavanaugh while there is still reasonable doubt (but I certainly wouldn't be alone in a room with the man), but the burden of proof that should bar one from the Supreme Court should be much lower than the burden for a criminal conviction. Ford's credibility and the fact of additional accusers is enough, and even were it not, Kavanaugh's lack of decorum and judgment should prove his unsuitability.

[@RealGermanish]

100% agree. Almost no employer would hire someone who is currently under investigation for sexual assault, but for the Supreme Court it's supposed to be okay? Nah.

[@TheNinetySecond]

Considering the dismal numbers in rape cases, I'd definitely agree with you. Less than 30% of all rape gets reported, and even in the western world, less than 10% of those reported cases end in conviction. This doesn't mean that more than 90% are false allegations, mind you. This means that guilt beyond reasonable doubt couldn't be established, even in cases with corroborating witnesses who spoke to the accuser right after, or heard it through the walls, or sometimes even observed it. With enough denial and a lack of physical evidence, even the most obvious rapist can walk free, simply because it's a ridiculously difficult crime to judge. Taking all those numbers into account, the growing sentiment of "unless he gets convicted in court, he should walk scott free!" seems insane to me. There's basically no chance in hell he's gonna get convicted, but that *does not* mean he didn't do it. Really, we might feasibly see facts pointing to his guilt, but still be unable to have him convicted in court. Should we just let him have a seat at SCOTUS then? Should we let him work as a judge in any capacity? These are difficult questions, but the "innocent until convicted" crowd refuse to take them up, because their slogan sounds better, and seems more reasonable. Hard truths are great when they work, but in this case, the devil is in the nuance.

[@bismuthcrystal9658]

Couldn't have said it better myself, Clemens. The aforementioned crowd fails to realize that this is not a courtroom, it is a process designed to determine Kavanaugh's character, and that the members of the Senate are meant to make their own judgments on that matter, as are we. No one is required to ignore evidence because it isn't proof. And even in a court of law, this testimony would be acceptable - just not enough to convict. But it would be weighed.

They are a social club and are not all that different from the Elks or Moose lodges, just more exclusive and secretive with a greater emphasis on ceremony. For the most part, they prohibit discussion of politics and religion during their official gatherings, but most branches of Masonry require members to profess a belief in the existence of a "supreme being", whether that be the Christian God, or Allah, or Odin or whatever doesn't matter. Most Masonic lodges also make substantial donations to charities on a fairly regular basis. Trump is not a Mason as far as I know, but 14 previous presidents and many of the founding fathers were.

Isn't it a recognised psychological fact that guilty people tend to react to accusations with anger, while if you're innocent, you're more likely to react with bemusement and sadness? And plus, so much of his defence is this ridiculous resort to all the pious, flag-kissing, apple pie stuff he supposedly spent his teenage years on: going to church, studying hard, being an athlete and 'service' whatever that means. It's almost like he's desperately crying: goddamnit, why doesn't this veneer work for me anymore? Well for a start, _judge_ as a legal defence it's nothing at all and anyway, most of it, if you've ever been on the wrong side of it or known of anyone who has - abusive priests, bullying jocks - is just horrific anyway, especially for the way it couches itself in unimpeachable wholesomeness.

The Republicans reaction are the reasons why women did not come forward in the past. Even today, some women still do not dome forward for fear of being victimized or even blamed for sexual assault.

[@jessicalee333]

About two-thirds of sexual assaults go unreported, and of the ones that are reported only between one and five percent result in a criminal conviction, so it's not surprising a lot of people don't want to bother with the process (of being mistrusted, interrogated, forced to relive a traumatic event, etc.) - people surveyed about why they didn't report, the plurality of them said it was because they didn't think the police would do anything.

Look at Brett's wifes face behind him. There's 4 accusations now and she has a look like she has a story too.

He proboly is an sexual abuser towards his wife every day since he just LOVESSS beer so fucking much.

I don't like the guy, but it would've helped him a lot if he just said "Yes" or "No" those childish paragraph responses were just embarrassing.

Until Mueller comes out with his report republicans should not be allowed to do anything. I believe a lot of wrongdoing on their part is going to come forward, some of it will remove a few of them and place them in jail where they belong.

Time for women to show who is stronger and Vote to get all these hypocrites of so called men out of office. VOTE LADIES.

[@jmscnny]

So called men? Possibly because they are men, you so called Nancy Walkling.
