I have zero problem with the prosecutor asking questions. I also think Ford comes off as very credible.

If there is every a movie made of this event, then Brian Huskey needs to play Ford's lawyer.

I still have problems with faulty memory and allegations coming forth this long after the fact, but she seemed about as credible as she could be. This will be tough to overcome."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I agree she is credible. I will go so far as to say that she is likely being truthful in her own mind and I think something traumatic happened to her. But that is not enough. It's not just that she doesn't have corroboration, some of the others deny it happened at all. Even so, it will be hard to overcome, especially if someone doesn't ask her better questions.Last edited by creekster; 09-27-2018, 10:26 AM.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

Originally posted by falafel View PostI keep hearing how from Democrats how Mark Judge hasn't been subpoenaed to testify. But why hasn't he? Do the democrats not have power to subpoena him?
Now I am wondering if I should have taken up drinking... I could have been a federal judge or something instead of just an engineer.

Law is an industry fueled almost entirely by alcohol, caffeine, and ambition, and one typically rises to the top only after proving himself at hundreds or thousands of open-bar events.
The issue rarely comes up at these hearings only because the same phenomenon and prevalence exist among legislators and there's a longstanding gentlemen's agreement that the matter will not be discussed.
(TBC, this was not an issue with any of the judges I have served, AFAIK, and I know nothing about Kavanaugh himself.)

At a minimum, the vote will be delayed. Ford came across as credible. No way the on-the-fence republican senators not ask for more investigation or to subpoena Kavanaugh's friend. It's likely that at least 1-2 of them are going to vote 'no' anyways, but will ask for more time as an excuse.
Will be interesting to see Kavanaugh's testimony now."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
