The Democrats Assasination Attempt on Brett Kavanaugh

What are everyone’s thoughts on the Democrats disgraceful attempt to derail Kavanaugh’s nomination?

In my opinion, the accuser is a total attention seeking whore bag who deserves utter humiliation for dragging up this filth.

 

Agree with this 100%. Also the media members and Senators that are claiming they care about getting to the truth and that they care about this woman are so patently false and transparent it makes me sick.

 

Bingo.

In a court of law, where the standard is beyond a reasonable doubt (90%), this would be laughed out of the room.

In a civil case, where the standard is a preponderance of the evidence (50%), this would be laughed out of the room.

If this was brought to the cops, where the standard is probable cause (10%), this would be laughed out of the room.

The fact that this happened 36 years ago and is just being reported now is sickening. The fact that Feinstein sat on this for 3 months and decided to toss it out at the last minute is sickening.

The House will be in jeopardy now for the Democrats because of this.

 

How is it disgraceful? If he did it, then it should be heard and taken into consideration. If he didn't, then he should be exonerated, even if just in the court of public opinion. Opinions like the ones on this thread are why women are afraid to come forward about this in the first place.

It blows my mind that blind loyalty to a party standard is more important than putting a potential rapist on the Supreme Court.

Beyond which, it's less disgraceful than the Republican tactics were 2 years ago. At least they are giving Kavanaugh a hearing!

How can you possibly prove he is a rapist when:

a) it happened 36 years ago and was not reported to the police at the time b) she told no one at the time so there is no contemporaneous corroboration c) she first told a therapist about this in 2012 and the therapist's notes do not line up with the version she is telling now d) she does not know what year this happened e) she does not know where the house is f) she does not know who else was at the party g) Kavanaugh has passed six federal background checks h) Republicans have bent over backwards to accommodate a hearing (public or private) and she will not appear

Like Anita Hill before her this woman is "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty"

First off, a lot of this is plain wrong. There was a alleged witness and we know who it is, but Republicans have refused to call him (Mark Judge) to testify.

Not sure what the federal background check is supposed to prove. If there was never an allegation made, for the very obvious reasons which encompass why most women don't go public with harassment or rape allegations, then there would be nothing to find.

And for what it's worth, I think her reluctance to come forward is terrible and casts a lot of doubt on her story.

However, none of this is relevant. You're claiming that what "Democrats" are doing here is shameful and an attempt at character assassination. Leaving aside the moral relativism which casts the GOP in an even worse like vis a vis Merrick Garland, the entire assumption that this is character assassination, and not an allegation of sexual abuse that should be taken seriously, is frankly awful and demonstrates the brokenness of the Republican Party in the Trump era. Party loyalty should not trump human decency. Instead of coming out and claiming that Christine Blasey Ford was an American with an unsubstantiated claim that should nevertheless be heard in the interest of due diligence, the entire accusation was immediately dismissed, as if rushing through the nomination and approval process was more important than the specter of potentially elevating a sexual abuser to SCOTUS (though since the POTUS is a confirmed sexual abuser I guess we shouldn't be surprised)..

And by the way, this is very much NOT like Anita Hill. The FBI returned a full report on Anita Hill within days of her accusations coming out; the FBI has been held back from doing anything at all here.

And mind you, even if the accusation has some merit, that doesn't automatically disqualify Kavanaugh. I mean, he's a hack and a hypocrite, but the Senate should have the right to hear this story, even if they ultimately don't care (which, this being the modern day GOP, they won't).

 

That's why Al Franken is still a Senator, right?? Both sides have a troubled history with this topic; only one party is currently trying to fix that.

Just as Republicans were happy to give a Senate seat to an alleged child predator, they will rush this confirmation process through to get another conservative on the court. Republicans have no interest in determining if this woman's claims are true.

"I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people."
 

This is so wrong it is laughable:

a) there is a picture of Al Franken grabbing a passed out woman's tits b) 4-5 other women came out of the woodwork accusing Franken of impropriety c) Franken was a grown ass man when he assaulted

If you think Democrats give a flying fuck about this woman or the "truth" I don't know what the fuck to tell you.

I'm Canadian so I'm a neutral observer and your statement is laughable. Democrats only care when it serves their purpose. The attitude towards Bill and Hillary Clinton is just the worst example.

As another example. I didn't hear any complains whatsoever when in the year of the #metoo Oscar, the academy decided to award an Oscar to a violent rapist (who also is probably guilty of the worse case of victim shaming in the history of the world). Also maybe a coincidence that said violent rapist earned hundreds of millions from the SWJ shoe company after publicly admitting to said rape. Same company that supposedly promotes women rights, but is being sued by practically all of their senior female executives at the moment for discrimination. Also same company that is supposedly a champion of gay rights, yet is the proud sponsor of Man City and PSG, both owned by the ruling family of the UAE and Qatar where homosexuality is kindly punishable by death. Ah yeah, same company that has been getting so much praise from Dems recently for being a champion of social justice. #StopTheHypocrisy

 

My guess is that the dems are just trying to delay the confirmation process. In a normal world that would be unethical. However, the repubs treatment of Garland was far worse. To claim that a justice should not be appointed until a new president is in office is absurd, especially when the time frame is so long.

How is the Garland situation worse? There is no Constitutional guarantee for a hearing/vote. You may disagree with what the Republicans did but they used a legal maneuver.

The Dems on the other hand are using a baseless accusation that they no is false to delay the hearing and slime the reputation of an otherwise upright and moral man.

You should study your history a bit more. Dems are the ones who initially politicized the Supreme Court nomination process with Robert Bork in 1987.

But whaddabout Bork? But whaddabout Bill Clinton? But whaddabout Obama? But whaddabout her emails? But whaddabout the alt-left? But whaddabout Democrats founding the KKK?

Just once I would like to see people try to defend the actions of today's administration and Republican Congress on its own merits, rather than the constant deflection and whataboutism (which btw, is a classic Russia Cold War disinformation tactic).

"I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people."

It is only legal because the Rs can do what they want. It set a very unethical precedent. Now, any majority could delay hearings for the entire period of the majority. That is not how the government should work. If the Dems take control of congress, Trump would probably be impeached on day one. Is that how a government should work?

How do you know that it is a baseless accusation? How do you know that Kavanaugh is a moral an upright man?

I love it because it's straight out of the Republicans playbook. I'm sure it won't stop the confirmation but hopefully the Dems use it as a pretext later to impeach and remove him. Then re-open the Anita Hill issue and remove Clarence Thomas as well (which they should've done all the times they had a chance but were too cowardly).

 
buyoutlbomonkey:
When have republicans ever smeared someone with a baseless sexual assault allegation? Democrats on the other hand:

Clarence Thomas Brett Kavanaugh Duke lacrosse UVA rape case

Fucking Christ. Does anyone on WSO know their history?

Lol Duke and UVA cases were Democratic conspiracies just like the chemtrails and gay frogs. Breitbart comment sections are over there, cupcake.
 

I am confident that the allegations are true. Women do not typically go public about sexual harassment or assault unless it is true. In fact, there are statistics for similar issues that show that 90+ percent of allegations are true. Most rational people would not want to put themselves or their families though something like this. I do have an issue with it happening 36 years ago in high school. At this point, 36 years later, can we hold this guy accountable for actions taken in high school? I am not sure. It does say something about his character, though (if it is true). I guess whether or not we hold him accountable for his actions would depend on our standards for selecting supreme court justices.

The women could want to come forward to become famous. Anita Hill is a pseudo-celebrity now (2 best selling books, two movies, and she charges exorbitant speaking fees) and is dramatically wealthier than she would have been if she did not make up a sexual harassment claim against Clarence Thomas.

Just the facts folks. Time to put the left wing faux news talking points away

Anita Hill gave very credible testimony. Are you saying that Anita Hill should not have come forward?

Brett Kavanaugh did a Fox News interview and said that he never had intercourse in high school or for several years after high school. It is kind of funny seeing a supreme court nominee make these statements. More women are going to be coming forward. It just looks bad. He should withdraw and spare his family from further humiliation.

It's the typical liberal game:

-feelings over facts -rule of law and presumption of innocence completely subverted -plenty of gaps in the story, but so long that the story is pushed hard enough and there's social media hysteria, keep it going

Though let's be honest, Republicans are being worthless on this. It's blatantly clear that Democrats are pushing this to prevent the vote before the Midterms, so that they can force one of their own in case they win those. It's sheer subversion. No wonders Trump won the Republican race, everyone else is a weakling who doesn't dare to stand up to liberal conspiracy theories, attempts to hijack the government and turn the country into an Orwellian dystopia. Trump has to do everything and play the babysitter.

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
 

It could be a very bad day for Kavanaugh. Now, he is going to drag his family through worse allegations. The latest allegation is signed under penalty of perjury. His continued nomination is bad for his family and bad for the GOP. I expect that the GOP will put pressure on him to withdraw.

You hear the latest one?

https://www.wsj.com/articles/attorney-avenatti-releases-affidavit-from-…

Basically, this 3rd accuser is saying "well he was at the parties where rapes were happening" and that they "spiked the punch bowl with Quaalude or grain alcohol" and he didnt stop the rapes....lol

So basically, if you are at a party, and drinking jungle juice, and people are hooking up with the drunk slooty sorority girl, you are supposed to fly in with a cape and stop them?

Did you read the entire document? Point number 12 accuses Kavanaugh and Judge of rape.

Ozymandia if you’re not embarrassed by the tactics of the democrats today then you do not embarrass. Plenty to think about since last week.

Maybe we need more lawyers to chime in. Maybe some of you should consider the political damage of allowing this sort of political circus to derail a nomination and ruin a mans career.

I don’t know if he did it or not. I’m skeptical. But this will come back to bite us all in the ass.
