Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford

[kjstrukel]

My personal thought is that the confirmation hearing last week was an embarrassment.  What do you think?

[monnee]

It's a freaking circus for sure, but the FBI will try to get to the bottom of this case in a week.

Being a Trauma Survivor.. I am surprised at how much DR Ford has done if she is so traumatized ..flying all over..  teaching in a college.. etc etc.. I remember to this day time date etc of things. I remember date i was rescued.. I understand they say she was in shock.. I was much younger than she and according to Psychology. .older children heal faster than younger .. when it comes to trauma. She stated she couldn't remember details but was "100 percent" certain of who it was.. MY question: what was she doing upstairs with boys.. If this happened.. when everyone was downstairs..At 15 what was she doing at a drinking party???  SHe remembered the music and other little details.. But.. When asked how her polygraph was paid.. other little things that were current she moused out "I can't remember.. I don't Know" She is a research Psychologist..she knows how to work the system.. she is not  a simpleton.. I am afraid to this day to go out certain places..Her trauma doesn't keep her from beaches.. She said she feared flying all the way out to this hearing but was flying around the world for everything else..she has too many inconsistencies.. I don't know if anything happened..but i do feel she is a good actor..

Oh Lord. The revelations of these sexual assaults are staggering. I was watching the hearings on both of them. It will be very difficult to prove a case that is more than 30 years old and based on the eyewitness testimonies of others.

We’ll never advance from feral horny college boys if they continue to support the good Old boys  mentality!

Its not really an embarrassment but it is a concern. Til hes proven guilty or innocent i don't think the position that Trump wants to put in him should even be decided til after that happens. I think it needs more then a week kinda short on that time limit and unfair

This hearing just proves Innocent until proven guilty is out the window. It's now guilty until proven innocent. Kavanaugh shouldn't have to prove his innocence. After 6 FBI investigations for his work, he has been cleared every time. None of his friends or associates had anything bad to say about him in all the years he's been in government service. Those accusers best watch out. if they aren't truthful, they could be brought up on charges. I remember everything about my assault. I was 17 and it was 53 years ago. I remember the house, the people there, how I got there and how I got home, AND what time I got there and what time I got home. How could I forget? Told my parents immediately because he threatened to kill me if I didn't show up the next night and I was scared for my life. I didn't leave the house for 3 months after school..

As for Dr. Ford, I find it strange that she couldn't remember anything except it was Brett Kavanaugh. i saw a photo comparing Kavanaugh and another boy and they were almost twins. Plus the idea that Feinstein held onto the CONFIDENTIAL letter until the hearings were over and they were ready to vote to move ahead when boom! Then Feinstein recommends that Katz lawyer to Dr. Ford. I smell a rat big time.

Now Avenatti brings forward another one? That one really takes the cake for falsehood! But he doesn't care if the woman gets her butt in trouble. I found out today that he doesn't have  a license to practice in MD, yet he did it. He needs to be disbarred.

It's his word vs her word. It is a circus. It is an embarrassment. I don't even agree with Kavanaugh's politics very much, but I think it's a witch hunt and a targeted attack against him. OMG .... he drank beer. He may have fooled around with girls in high school.

This country is a joke, and the FBI should NOT be involved. What are they going to do? Track down everyone who was at the party 40 years ago? I feel sorry for Kavanaugh and his family. "Dr." Ford should be fired and never be allowed to work again.

[michele2042]

My question to those of you that are against Dr. Ford because it was so many years ago, do you believe the men that are coming forward 30, 35 or 40 years later saying Catholic priests sexually abused them?   I have never heard a male accuse any of those men of making false statements or claiming it doesn't matter because it was so many years ago.   

I don't know if Dr. Ford's accusation is true but I know I'm not making a judgement towards either of them.  My problem with Judge Kavanaugh is the demeanor he exhibited at the hearing.  The accusations he was making against democrats does not show a person who can be impartial in being a judge.  His anger and comments he made to some of the senators was inappropriate. 

Also, the previous FBI investigations only concerned Judge Kavanaugh after age 18.  This happened when he was 17.

For me, it was about Kavanaugh's own behavior during the "job interview."  I don't even want to go into it all on such a forum as this but the "conspiracy theories" regarding the Clintons and the extreme Left being behind all these allegations made me realize he is not fit for the Supreme Court.  A lifetime appointment to the highest court of our land should at least provide a modicum of trust that you can keep yourself under control and look at things in as balanced and nonpartisan way as possible.  I have no trust that this man is able to do this after watching and listening to him testify. I also doubt his ability to tell the absolute truth.

[judylucas]

very sad all the way around and always make certain who you are voting into office  some of our leaders are a disgrace

[sbenkoski]

I look at it as just another way for the  Dems to have another circus and to be crying about Trump and to waste more tax payers money on a long drawn out fight.

[BATISTAGIRL663]

There really is no winner here our country is going to suffer one way or the other

[camellia0]

I did not watch this. I figured that I cannot change this, so I was not about to get in a heated arguement over this hearing. All that we can do is pray that it turns out the way we want.
