She’s lying. Period.
Reasons To Question Veracity Of Kavanaughs Accuser

I think nominees should just refuse to show up for any interrogations. They can meet individual Senators at their request (making sure the session is taped).

There really is no need for a nominee to face questions. Either they are qualified or they’re not. The investigation done by the appropriate agency and any other documents and such that a particular Senator may request should be sufficient.

It’s an up or down vote. No maybes. The circuses must be canceled.

Apparently Flake has offered her the option of testifying in closed session if that makes her feel more comfortable.

This is the most outrageous thing I have ever seen. What we have is a person who is making nebulous charges lacking any specificity, which allegedly occurred 30+ years ago [the accuser is not exactly sure when it happened or where], to which NO witnesses have been produced, not even any evidence that it occurred at all and people in positions of power are taking this seriously. Really? Do I have to list all of the people, many of whom were women, who made serious charges against others, only to have those charges exposed as being entirely fabricated [Tawana Brawly and the Duke Lacrosse Team leap to mind].

We have no idea what actual criminal act is being alleged. We have no accurate location for the incident. We have no accurate time of the alleged incident. We have no reliable identification of the people involved. There was no real time report of the alleged incident. In a sane world, you couldn’t charge, let alone convict Al Capone of any criminal act here. This should all be ignored, unless some conclusive evidence that this event is both real and involved the people claimed is produced.

Whether the allegations are true or not, Ford knows that she will be lionized by Democrats and other leftists for the rest of her life, just like Anita Hill. Note that the media have avoided any discussions about whether Hill was telling the truth. One investigator wrote, “By any reasonable evidentiary standard, [Thomas] should be vindicated of Hill’s charges.” Undoubtedly the media will extend the same courtesy of not investigating to Ford.

Note that Feinstein’s timing is perfect: Bring out the letter after the hearings, to postpone a vote. The Democrats used similarly perfect timing to try to torpedo Clarence Thomas. They used perfect timing to crucify Roy Moore, making allegations that couldn’t be investigated before the election, and they took over Sessions’ Senate seat. It’s time the Republicans started learning and using some of these dirty tricks.

I’m going to be the honest one here. I’m pretty damned sick of manufactured outrage. I don’t even care if this cockamamie story is true. If a teen guy got stinking drunk one night and groped a girl – so what? I don’t care. I was a teen in the late 70’s early 80’s. We all got drunk. We all got groped. None of us are the worse for wear and if we are, we’re working hard at it. Truth? We woke up with a hangover and said wow what a wild night that was and went back and did it again. To feign outrage over a non-event 35 years later is despicable.

She looks a bit younger than 50 in that photo.

I’m sure our lawyers on the site will chime in on the law but if what I understand is correct then Ford’s lawyer knew that one, the FBI would never investigate such a case plus it is beyond any statute of limitations. Two, her lawyer is now saying it is not up to Ford to corroborate her story but the law and the Senate! Since no one knows the time, place or who was involved I doubt that there will be an investigation. Three, seeing this approach by Ford’s side leads me to think that she will not appear and then claim that the hostile atmosphere created by the Repubs make it too uncomfortable to testify. Four, by doing this she has not committed any fraud or broken any laws. She can walk away with some damage to Kavannaugh’s reputation but none to hers. If that leads to one Repub voting no she has done her work.

An allegation or accusation ≠ corroboration
An accusation ≠ evidence
An accusation ≠ a proof point or fact
An accusation = an opinion and in this case = motivated cognition

(1) If reasonable people who vote don’t recognize the pattern of character assassination that the ‘new Democrats’ have employed post Ted Kennedy, then all is lost and the center won’t hold.

(2) The only way for the center to hold, unfortunately, is for Conservatives to employ the same tactics that Democrats employ.

(3) For those who reject that strategy, know that you are bringing a butter knife to a gun fight, and the result will reflect past history:

Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer were confirmed by the lopsided margins of 96–3 and 87–9, respectively

(4) Democrats have become so anti-everything non-progressive that they apparently don’t understand that:

(A) Conservatives, who are not their Grandfathers, will follow the standards for Supreme Court confirmations Democrats have established;

(B) No competent, decent Judicial candidate will ever accept a nomination, much less be confirmed – so another Leftist Ruth Bader Ginsberg,or right-leaning John Roberts will never be a Justice;

(c) No politically active nominee, like Elena Kagan, who had never been a judge, will ever lend her experience as a Justice;

(d) We will be saddled with nebbishes who have never had a life; never interacted with their peers; never written an opinion;

And just think, the whole process worked for a century until Harry Reid decided to overturn the wisdom of history to gain an ephemeral win for Barack Obama’s judicial nominees.

The professor reports in an update on this post…

…that Ford’s attorney has stated her client will not testify until after an FBI investigation.

Thus confirming it’s all a lie cooked up by a couple of leftist activists, with no doubt some Senate Democrats complicit in the lie, to derail Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

The alleged incident is so far beyond the statute of limitations that no law enforcement agency, even if the appropriate agency was the FBI, could investigate it. But the appropriate agency isn’t the FBI. The FBI has already stated that it won’t investigate as no one has alleged a federal crime. They don’t have jurisdiction over this sort of thing. At best this was a Hail Mary pass to coerce the FBI into wasting resources in a months long investigation, which would kill Kavanaugh’s nomination. But it isn’t even that as I’m sure the last thing Ford and her attorneys want is an investigation of any sort into this baseless claim. What they want is an excuse not to testify but to keep the lie alive in the court of public opinion.

These activists, as well as the Congressional Democrats, will scream bloody murder but it’s time to confirm Kavanaugh without delay. It’s a naked, partisan, and despicable dirty trick. By asking for the impossible they obviously wanted to do, with an assist from Feinstein, was to throw a grenade into the hearings in the hope of blowing it up.

Bill Cosby was a test run – the left wanted to see if one of the most beloved men could be taken down in this way. (They wanted him discredited because he was a pillar of the black community telling the kids to stop being victims and do what he did – work HARD and achieve your dreams. Can’t have that if you want to keep ’em down, on the plantation, voting D forevah.)

It worked. Beautifully.

No evidence. Thirty+ year old allegations. Settlements that implied guilt. More women come to make the accusations appear more credible. It is, after all the “seriousness of the charges” dontcha know.

Of course, Clarence Thomas came before; however, he was not world-beloved. He was also confirmed, so that attack was not 100% successful. Tweak the D playbook, make the changes to the plays and test it out again……..

Now, here we are.

It will not end unless and until the Republicans and sane people stand up and STAND AGAINST this defamation.

FBI investigated Blasey Ford’s Claim and Responded Tuesday: “It’s totally inappropriate for someone to demand we use law enforcement resources to investigate a 35-year-old allegation when she won’t go under oath and can’t remember key details including when or where it happened.”

also there’s rumor of Blasey Ford doing this because Candidate Romney put Kavanaugh on Romney’s SCotUS list

another rumor of writing a letter defaming Gorsuch
