and there were a bunch of guys saying the same thing about cosby's accusers as they are with Dr. Ford.
its a damn shame how we continue to treat women in this country. Until that final piece of evidence that no one could talk themselves out of. Kinda hard when he says I want my money back to to convince yourself he's innocent.

After Kavanaugh confirmation, Pelosi vows to unearth FBI docs as Dems demand impeachment inquiryBefore and immediately after the Senate narrowly voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court on Saturday, top Democrats vowed that they would continue to fight -- not only at the ballot box in November's midterm elections, but also through further investigations and potentially even impeachment proceedings afterwards. On Saturday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced she planned to file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to obtain documents related to the FBI's supplemental probe of Kavanaugh, which senators said showed no corroboration of the decades-old sexual misconduct allegations against him. FBI background checks on judicial nominees have traditionally been kept confidential so that only senators, White House officials, and certain aides can view them. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/after-k...docs-as-dems-fl

It's a shame how everybody treats everybody now a days.  It's not only men not believing Ford there is a lot of women that feel the same way.

were also the same ones defending cosby we he first got accused. Yeah, when he first got accused. Think about it, this guy had a decades long reputation of being a clean entertainer. I used to make myself listen to his routines when they came up on Pandora even though I was sick of them because I wanted to support such a 'stand up guy'. Then the girl he paid to be quiet spoke up, AND HE WANTED A REFUND! Can't tell ya how disappointed I was. Heartbroken actually. The squeaky clean guy being a creep should never be surprising.

I learned about it for the first time in 1998. And the same goes for Kavanaugh - it was an open secret that he was a creepy blackout drunk during his initial federal appointment. That’s why it got delayed and delayed and delayed until there were enough votes to push through his mediocre ass.

Yeah, there really wasn't a "first accuser" like in new cases, for Cosby. The situation just blew up when Hannibal said "Bill Cosby rapes people. Google it."
Also it was a well established internet rumor that Louis CK would masturbate in front of women, so much so, that he put that joke in his set.
Kavanaugh law clerked for a judge who had his own sexual harassment scandal. What do they say? birds of a feather flock together?

There's a '30 Rock' joke about how Tracy is mad Cosby drugged and raped his aunt from like the early 2000's. I first heard about him in the late 90's. Also it was a well established internet rumor that Louis CK would masturbate in front of women, so much so, that he put that joke in his set. It was a well established rumor/fact long before the internet. 40 has this incredibly creepy/perverted thing that whenever he gets mocked for his myriad of creepy/pervy sentiments, he brings up the fact that one of my friends was detained by Louis so he could whack off in front of her. Kavanaugh law clerked for a judge who had his own sexual harassment scandal. What do they say? birds of a feather flock together? It's obvious to anyone with ears and eyes that the guy is lying, and is a creepy pervert. No need to connect conspiratorial dots.

Dems need to take the 'L' and move on for now. Midterms might change things up but nothing is guaranteed for either side. I despise Trump but I have to admit he, McConnell, and Grassley spanked the dems on this one; the dems had a chance for a moment to stop Kavanaugh's confirmation and blew it by going too far.

It is really nice to finally have a majority of judges on the supreme court that will follow the constitution instead of try to re write the constitution. Follow the rule of the law and not the rule of the mob.

lol why is it automatically assumed that conservative judges follow the constitution, but liberal judges don't?
if judges followed the constitution, then doesn't it make their political leanings irrelevant?

If a judge is just following the constitution and political identity does not matter then why do dems go into fits over conservative judges?
Maybe decisions should require unanimous decisions much like many criminal proceedings...otherwise the court is hung like juries that can't agree...no more 5-4 decisions to be accepted on any issue....just a wild thought.

I never acted as if it was one sided...i was showing the other side of the same coin that coincidently has heads on both sides.....
And fyi....there is no moderate anymore....everything is left/right...either/or....black/white.....you see it in the Senate votes...the house votes and the judicial decisions....why do you think people with cases seek out courts favorable to their side... because partisanship rules the day...dont hate the playa'...hate the game.

Much like laws promoting common sense abortion regulations are viewed by the left as radical far right ideas and sole grounds for a no vote..Garland's record on gun rights is that of a far left radical worthy of a no vote...if the left can be ruled by one idea..then so can the right.
Garland is a moderate only in the sense that the whole political paradigm has shifted left where moderates take the place of old school liberals....conservatives are old school moderates and liberals are now out in left field picking dandelions and digging in the dirt creating a new ideology.

no, he wasn't.
vetting isn't just an fBI investigation. its everything that would pop up that the media and senate are suppose to look over.
dont pretend you wasn't aware that trump and republicans sat on documents and didn't release those requested documents for review to the dems. cause it actually happened.
if he was properly vetted, then even guys like you would've been aware of what PDF posted. there's so many things that goes well beyond some background check.
and yet, that point seems to elude you.
what does it say that you wasn't aware that trump isn't a self made billionaire? what does it say that you wasn't aware that he tanked his casino in atlantic city? what does that say about that you didn't know trump owed millions upon millions of dollars to the russians? what does it say that you didn't know trump tanked the USFL?
its not just the responsibility of our politicians to know these things, its OUR right to know as citizens. this is the freaking SC judge candidate receiving a lifetime appointment. this a POTUS candidate representing americans to the world.
stop excusing laziness and ignorance. sick of this crap.
like damn bro. you're gonna sit there and tell me its not a huge red flag as to WHY kavanaugh was even on Trump's radar to begin with? its not a red flag that he bolted on his first pick and decided to get somebody who wasn't even on the original list of nominees, like Gorsuch?
Gorsuch was properly vetted. and guess what? he got through easily, cause there was nothing to say about him or his record in a negative manner, as it pertains to a judge.
and yet, Kavanaugh didn't come CLOSE to that sort of vetting, and look at the circus that happened because of it.

First off, Kavanaugh has been investigated 6 times now. He wasn't rushed through either and... Secondly, while my comment can be about having heard none of the stuff about either of them until it was national news, it's mainly about Cosby.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/christine-blasey-ford-attorneys-reveal-043956404.htmlChristine Blasey Ford’s Attorneys Reveal Statement From Corroborating Witness Christine Blasey Ford's legal team has released a statement from her friend Christine Blasey Ford’s legal team has released a statement from her friend Keith Koegler, who provided an account that appears to corroborate Ford’s testimony accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, but the FBI did not interview him. In a letter to the Senate, Koegler expressed concern over its decision to rush Kavanaugh’s confirmation process without hearing from Ford’s corroborating witnesses, including himself. The letterwas obtained by Fox News anchor Shannon Bream and MSNBC’s Kyle Griffin. “There are a minimum of 7 additional people, known to the White House, the Senate Judiciary Committee and the FBI who knew about the assault prior to the nomination who were not interviewed,” Koegler wrote. “I am one of them.” Koegler had previously said in a sworn affidavit submitted in September that Ford, a Palo Alto University professor, told him about the alleged assault in 2016, around the time former Stanford University student Brock Turner was sentenced for raping an unconscious woman. He said she told him about it again three months ago in an email. Koegler identified himself as a close friend of Ford and her husband, saying he has known them for more than five years and had coached their son’s baseball team. In the signed declaration, he shared an account of two interactions he had with Ford in which she spoke about Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual assault years before he was nominated to the Supreme Court. Koegler said he first heard Ford mention the assault while the two were watching their kids play together in the early summer of 2016. They were discussing Turner’s sentencing when Ford revealed she was assaulted. “Christine expressed anger at Mr. Turner’s lenient sentence, stating that she particularly was bothered by it because she was assaulted in high school by a man who was now a federal judge in Washington, D.C.,” Koegler wrote. Koegler said that interaction with Ford was memorable because it was around the same time Turner was sentenced to six months in jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman after a party. He added that the “common public perception” at the time was that the sentencing was “too light.” The second time Koegler said Ford brought up the assault was in an email on June 29, 2018, two days after Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his resignation. Ford wrote Koegler an email saying that the person who assaulted her was the president’s “favorite for SCOTUS,” he said. Koegler wrote back, “I remember you telling me about him, but I don’t remember his name. Do you mind telling me so I can read about him?” “Brett Kavanaugh,” Ford replied in an email, according to Koegler. Koegler was one of three friends of Ford who submitted affidavits saying she had told them about the alleged assault before Kavanaugh’s nomination was ever announced. Their statements received little attention, however, likely because they came out at around the same time as Julie Swetnick’s allegation that she had spotted Kavanaugh at a house party where a “gang rape” occurred in the early 1980s. Republicans guaranteed Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court on Friday, weeks after Ford came forward publicly accusing Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were both teens. After a contentious hearing with testimony from both Kavanaugh and Ford, the FBI launched a limited investigation into the allegation without interviewing either Kavanaugh or Ford. Ford’s lawyers on Friday denounced the Senate and the FBI probe, calling the inquiry “not a meaningful investigation in any sense of the word.”

[quote=MrTed] were also the same ones defending cosby we he first got accused. Yeah, when he first got accused. Think about it, this guy had a decades long reputation of being a clean entertainer. I used to make myself listen to his routines when they came up on Pandora even though I was sick of them because I wanted to support such a 'stand up guy'. Then the girl he paid to be quiet spoke up, AND HE WANTED A REFUND! Can't tell ya how disappointed I was. Heartbroken actually. He did not have a decades long reputation as a squeaky clean entertainer. There were “Cosby drugs and rapes women” jokes in the 1980’s. It was an open secret. I learned about it for the first time in 1998. And the same goes for Kavanaugh - it was an open secret that he was a creepy blackout drunk during his initial federal appointment. That’s why it got delayed and delayed and delayed until there were enough votes to push through his mediocre ass. ...you guys continuously state that you "never heard about that" Maybe they learned it from a former Commander in Chief who was fond of saying that the first he heard of stuff going on is his administration was from watch the new at 10pm. This was the same guy that laid the ground work with his elections have consequences quote and also telling the GOP to get in the back seat for the ride. ??? what does that have to do with vetting process? lmfao what a spin job. still havent addressed how completely clueless you have been with not only vetting trump, but the SC judge. butof course its the black guys fault lmfao. It had nothing to do with the process...but what I quoted.....and congratulations on playing the race card...well done sir!!

Hey, they elected a known pervert with 16 accusers, who can't stay faithful to any wife he was ever married to as president of the United states. Why would you be shocked about Kavenaugh?

im trying to see the bright side, but they make it highly difficult to do so.
they want us to treat them with respect, while they constantly demonstrate they will act and vote for people who show none.

They're still pretending they're the "party of family values" and "The Christian right" after electing Trump. Everyone can see through that facade.
