New SCOTUS Judge II: The Wrath of Kavanaugh

Interesting perspective:
Over the past few decades — starting at Yale, then Columbia University’s Teachers College and now Arizona State University — my colleagues and I have been studying students in high-achieving, elite schools. These are institutions with excellent test scores, rich extracurricular and advanced academic offerings, and graduates headed to selective colleges and, ultimately, to positions of power as adults. Across the country, we have recurrently found that students at such schools show higher rates of disturbance compared with average American teens.

The tickets would be part of the "memorable" category. The fight certainly could fit into traumatic. I got kicked in the balls, and punched in the face and body multiple times, also choked by a 27 year old man that was 6' 1" and about 240 lbs. I won the fight, but that doesn't mean I didn't get my ass beat too. (i was much younger, and not nearly that built or heavy) I still have a scar from it, though not mentally like Ford just a physical one.

If she had a more traumatic experience, according to her those are burned into your memory helping you keep the experience in a more permanent way. If I can remember those details about something not as traumatic, or even just something memorable -- perhaps she should've been able to also. Was she drunk at the time too? (i need to review her testimony again) More questions than answers. I'm not saying she made up the account, but it certainly seems like there are some inconsistencies like her naming witnesses that do not corroborate her story, or in one case says she never met Kavanaugh or could recall any incident like she described.

Why don't you ask a few women who have been sexually assaulted what details they actually remember instead of making up your own imaginary scenario?

Here's the problem River. Everyone is not you.

Different people respond to situations differently. Your thinking is very much aligned with, I did it, why doesn't everyone else? My father landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day. He said some men could and did handle it while others froze and got killed. And you can't tell who's going to freeze until they were in the heat of battle.

Also, memory is one weird thing. I can remember virtually EVERYTHING about from 2 minutes before my sister told me my mother had a pulmonary embolism and passed away and for the hour following that but the rest of that day nothing. That was 40 years ago.

Judging others through your own perspective is really a bit self centered.

Mostly? :jaw-dropp

So lying about his high school and college behavior when he could have been honest and admitted he was different now is no big deal?

Claiming it's a Clinton CT why a woman is telling him about one of the things he did in high school?

WTF was he hiding when he evaded questions, lied outright what the entries in his yearbook meant and filibustered the questions he clearly didn't want to answer honestly?

How is that kind of **** OK in testimony under oath?

Beclown? That's funny coming from the person who thinks I can't be aware of conspiracies surrounding Kavanaugh's yearbook quotes without first watching his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. :boggled:

Different people are different.

Feel free to not understand how Dr. Ford doesn’t remember details you think you would. I can’t understand how people use arguments from incredulity.

Johnny's right. A lot of what you are posting in this thread is not just wrong, you're making assertions the actual testimony contradicts.

I think these types of thoughts correlate heavily with the "If I were there I would have pulled out my revolver and shot all 12 terrorists," fantasy.

(and no, that's not an invitation to derail the thread into a gun debate)

As I said in a prior post, I have not watched his testimony yet. You'll have to point out specifically, with proof, what he lied about. Not what you think you lied about.

:rolleyes:

We've done that in great detail, more than once in this thread, and by more folks than me.

If you think his high school yearbook is damning, just wait till the Dimms get hold of his kindergarten coloring books -- he drew outside the lines. Gasp!

Knocking down those straw men must be so satisfying.

In case you need that explained:

It's not the yearbook comments, it's that they support behavior that goes with what Ford says happened.

It's not the yearbook comments, it's that he continually lied about the meaning of them when asked under oath.

They make him look bad and he lied because they made him look bad. The lie was told this week, not something he did in high school.

Well, I’ve seen only a few video snippets of Kavanaugh’s Thursday appearance. However, I have read quite a bit of the transcript.

Politics aside, I wouldn’t vote to put that man on a school board. The personal presentation and interaction was as amateurish as it gets, and couldn’t have been more embarrassing.

Irrespective of the Dr. Ford allegations, I would vote to deny Kavanaugh’s nomination. And do so without even so much as a second guess.
