The letter Ford sent to Grassley over the weekend. I think it gives some good insight on how it all started:
-
"...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."

How do you know he has these skeletons? They could have just as easily done this Gorsuch or Roberts. These tactics cannot be allowed to prevail.Originally posted by Commando View PostHonestly that's what happens when you have skeletons.
You know what happens when you pick a great, vetted candidate? They get confirmed almost immediately i.e. Roberts, Gorsuch, etc... This is on stupid Trump's stupid administration for not properly vetting. There were plenty of great picks and this is how they handled this.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”Comment

Amnesty International weighs in:
I'm 100% fine with this. I'm surprised that Kavanaugh's role in W's administration wasn't more fully criticized. Booker was too busy saying he was Spartacus I guess. This, along with Kavanaugh working with Ken Starr during the Clinton investigation, was why I thought Kavanaugh was a candidate with some baggage.
But the Democrats instead decided to go with an unverifiable allegation from 36 years ago. They know the media loves sensationalist stories, especially one that attacks a nominee from a party that they loathe.Part of it is based on academic grounds.

He has been accused, therefore he is guilty. What a great time to be an American.Originally posted by Commando View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

This is what the NY Times said about the woman making the second accusation that Commando seems to think is so incredibly reliable that absolutely no corroboration is required:
The Times had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate her story, and could find no one with firsthand knowledge. Ms. Ramirez herself contacted former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.Part of it is based on academic grounds.

If it I didn't know better I could swear that the 2nd accusation is so stupid, so ludicrous that it was planted by a GOP operative to discredit the overall Democratic smear effort.Part of it is based on academic grounds.

Wow he stands to lose EVERYTHING! Or... just go back to his regular job? Huh... yeah.

Should there be any standards of evidence for cases like this? Are you comfortable with this precedent?Originally posted by Commando View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Sick burn. What about the part about how much of a badass you are? No confirmation there?Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View Post"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"Comment

This is a confirmation proceeding, and chances are there is something to Ford's story- so let's hear it; I have no problem with that. There is plenty of precedent- this isn't near as messy as Clarence Thomas and here we are 30 years later with his sleepy ass on the Court, so who knows?Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!
