I know I sure as hell wouldn’t. Justice can go fuck itself. I wouldn’t expose my family to death threats ala Sandy Hook parents if I didn’t think I’d make a difference.
Hell I wouldn’t put my family in the crosshairs even if I did think I’d make a difference.
I’m talking about those who’ve signed their names as supporters of Ford. Already public on a list. If you’ve done that, and know of these gang rape parties, why not say so?
Supporters on the list aren’t nearly subjected to the level of scrutiny and BS that the accusers are. Everyone is waiting for “someone else” to step up to the plate.
If this all turns put to be BS it would make an interesting study on group think and the physchology behind it all
This entire thread is testament to why women don’t come forward for years, if at all. Jesus.
Regarding the allegation made today: that woman is a federal employee with several active clearances who submitted a sworn declaration. If she’s lying, her career is essentially over. I’m not saying I believe every word of what she or the others have said, but there certainly seems to be more here than just “pissed off libs”.
I get that, but he faces no less the consequences if he is lying. And his position, reputation, and background seems to have been no less scrutinized in his own rise. Someone is lying, in the end.
If he is lying, then charges should be pressed. And a move to have him impeached.
I don’t think anyone’s career is in jeopardy here; except, Kavanaugh’s. For all of the accusers, who very well could be telling the truth, it’s their words vs Kavanaugh’s unless he/his team can somehow come up with compelling evidence to prove they’re lying, but I seriously doubt he has some record from the early 80s that would prove his innocence.
This will blow over soon, in six months everyone will be on to something else, neither side will “win”, but Kavanaugh will lose his one and only shot at the SCOTUS after a life of service because of unsubstantiated allegations made in the 11th hour right before the primary season. Made it’s the pessimist in me, but the timing seems awful suspect particularly with Feinstein’s lack of action earlier in the process.
Also, I seriously doubt this fucking nerd was lined up outside a train room…
Who knows. I’m a conservative so I want conservatives on the court. Besides, after these allegations against Kavanaugh, it would likely not fly against a second pick. And a woman, to boot.
Well, in the sense of is she qualified, sure. I think so. And I like what I know. But she could disappoint if appointed, sure. And some 30 year old no date, no location, no first hand witnesses accusation could come up days for before her vote, too. Though, it would be hard to believe it would be of a sexual nature, at least.
Even so, I don’t know too many social conservatives that agree with the dogma People of Praise put out. It’s some fairly fundamentalist, old world stuff from what I understand.
