The Supreme Court, bastion of conservatism

He's a Democrat. You may grope women, perhaps rape them, and remain in power, if you cry at appropriate times, if you're a Democrat. Neither party has any scruples, but each has the annoyingly disgusting habit of pretending that they do.

Actually, now that bill and Hillary have no more use to the Dems, they don’t allow sexual assaulters anymore. Well, until the next time they need to hide their supposed morality to gain or keep power.

Re: the one-week investigation. It's being reported that the FBI has already contacted Mark Judge, and that he's agreed to speak with them but will not contradict his prior sworn statement. Also being reported that Dr. Ford's attorneys have "refused to accept" a one week limitation on the investigation, as if they had the power to do that.

I wonder what the Dem's move will be when the FBI comes back with nothing conclusive. I hope they return to examining that yearbook.

I feel like the flatulence issue was not sufficiently explored.

If FBI was smart they would just put this in their report and call it a day...

The two also noted that under laws that existed in 1982 — the approximate time of allegations made by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford about Kavanaugh’s alleged actions at a high school party — assault and attempted rape were both misdemeanors subject to a one-year statute of limitations.

What does the FBI have to go on?

- No exact location or time/date

- No corroboration. No witnesses including Dr. Fords friend.

- No evidence. I don’t think getting out the rape kit is going to do any good.

I guess they could talk to Dr Ford about her feelings.

Irrelevant--the FBI isn't looking for anything to charge anyone with. The alleged crime was not even in their jurisdiction, as you've pointed out before. Their job is to do a background check on BK. I don't know if that falls into the realm of Administrative Law, but if not, something very similar. I would characterize their job this week as doing fact-checking after the hearing, to help the Senate and President in their roles of replacing a justice in the SCOTUS.

This ridiculous article is being shared all over my fb, including by a former CSer. There are a lot of reasons it’s a ridiculous article, but the one that made me legit lol is the thought idea—nay assertion—that Hatch and other Mormons in the Senate should be outraged by the HS drinking and should be using their Mormon standards as the compass to direct their Senatorial decisions. That’s pretty rich.

I don't want to brag but my first guess of which former CSer posted it was correct.

Didn't Ford say she was drinking too? Cuts both ways, I'd say, except it doesn't really cut either way at all.

Orrin Hatch is a hypocritical piece of shit. Not because of his patronizing comments about Dr Ford, but his complaints about Democrats. After what he did with Merrick Garland, he has no moral high ground to criticize anyone.
