New SCOTUS Judge II: The Wrath of Kavanaugh

The Big Dog said:
Grassley sent a letter to Ford's lawyer requesting copies of the therapists notes that they have been relying on as "corroboration," and a portion of which they allegedly showed the waPo.

So let me get this straight...

Ford testified last week. Her allegations were made public over half a month ago. The justice committee has already voted for Kavanaugh's confirmation to proceed. Yet Grassley waited until this week to request copies of the therapist's notes.

Yet the republicans were the ones who were bellowing so loudly about how the Democrats were waiting until the last minute to ambush the Kavanaugh hearing with the rape allegations.

Why didn't Grassley ask for them bask when the allegations were first made public, so that they could be considered during the committee hearings? Why didn't he ask for them last Friday when the FBI probe was beginning?

They have refused. One should take from that the notes are actually not at corroboration, and the inference is that they are not helpful to Ford.

Or, one could take away the fact that such notes are a private matter, and most people don't want details of their personal life and/or marriage revealed to the world.

HI! Didn't read the letter, huh? It is cool.

The letter makes clear that they asked for them and her lawyers refused.

Plus, maybe they should have given them to the Committee when they decided that they needed corroboration.

it is cool, you didn't read the letter.

And Ford can't have it both ways, to disclose them and then assert privacy. She put them at issue, that is what the legal beagles call it.

Odd, you literally did not respond to a single thing I posted.

Lets break this down: did you see the NBC interview: Yes__ No___

Did you read the link I gave you outlining the numerous steps that have been taken to investigate the claim and the history of Avenatti's refusal to cooperate: Yes __ No__

easey peasy!

TBD mancrush Mike Davis on the interest level of the Chairman of Senate Judiciary Committee in investigating claims Swetnick made under penalty of perjury:
We have already reviewed your client’s allegations. We focus on credible allegations. Please stop emailing me.

Feel free to blather on an on about what a liar Swetnick is.

You just be sure to let me know when the people claiming this is all a setup believe it enough to actually do anything about it.

The neat thing about this whole line of discussion is that there is so much agreement. We all understand and are all talking about the same thing. It gets kind of boring with all this echo chamber with no dissenting opinions, but at least we're unified.

Just in case people aren't sure what I mean there, let me explain.

All the people telling me that I don't get it, and that I don't understand, have tried to patiently explain that it's all about Kavanaugh's honesty. It isn't really about his drinking habits as such, but about the fact that he lied about it. It shows he was evasive and untrustworthy. That's the problem with him, isn't it?

That is indeed the problem with him.

So, there was this line of questioning that was intended to demonstrate that problem.

I'll let y'all connect the dots on what such a line of questioning would be called, if, say, there was some catchy phrase to describe it.

And Ron Goldman cleverly caught OJ in a sneaky murder trap.
Goldman was clearly the malefactor.

Ah, did not see the interview or read the link. Quelle Surprise

It is cool, type "mancrush" again.
 
And now the White House does a damage control press briefing too. In saner times I'd call time of death on Kavanaugh's nomination, but I'm willing to bet we can stoop yet lower ere this race is run.

In my high school days, we smoked pot during lunch. Easier to get and consume than beer.

In this, I do not kid. Youngsters here may not realize how much freedom we had in the eighties. Off campus lunch seems to be a thing of the past, and perhaps reasonably so. We totally got stoned back in the day, right before wood shop in my case.

We could smoke pot on campus if you were even a little bit careful. we tended to eat lunch outside a lot. It helped if you were known to be a smoker, since they really didn't care that much about the no smoking rule. A quick camel to cover the skunk and you were good to go.

Some people dig holes, realize their mistake, and then climb out. Others get a back hoe, continue to dig the hole deeper, add water, then wallow in the mud all while claiming there is no hole.

And like most diggers, they do it in khakis and a blazer.

TBD hasn't even established that the FBI requested said documents

The senate judiciary committee requested them, and she refused. Do you think she will provide them to the FBI and not to the committee? Maybe she would, but I don't think it's out of bounds to expect she won't.
 
I'm totally down with investigation of Ford, Ramirez, and Swetnick, including lawsuit/prosecution if warranted for libel and/or slander. If the GOP really wants us to think that there's an epidemic of false accusations from high school floozies looking for their 15 minutes of fame at the expense of fine, upstanding men like Kavanaugh, then bring it. I'm a fine, upstanding man and I wouldn't want one of these two-bit tarts attacking my reputation.

If Lindsey Graham really thinks that the democrats on the Judiciary Committee concocted this whole thing just to throw a monkey wrench in the process then investigate it. The self-righteous pearl-clutching he did last week might have worked for the base, but if he's serious and he's right then I too would want those bums thrown out of the Senate. Feinstein, Booker, Harris, Durbin – come on, Lindsey. Which one of them did this?
