They are doing a limited in scope investigation, so there’s at least a partial ‘due process’ you say is needed slut (and I agree). And as you acknowledge, it is a job interview, yet one that does require due process unlike one I might have.
I can imagine a job interview I might have where they tell me, ‘You are on this KB site where stories about children being raped are present. This does not reflect our values, so we will not be hiring you.’ I can claim truthfully that I’ve done nothing illegal, and that not only do I not read those stories, I have at times strenuously objected to such content. Guess what, none of that would matter as it’s a job interview and not a criminal proceeding.
Kavanaugh was a heavy drinker by many accounts. I’ve been one too at times in my youth. I recall in college waking one morning very sore and covered in bruises. I had no memory of how I got like that, and I asked someone I knew was at the party what happened to me. The conversation went something like this:
“You fell down the stairs.”
“The stairs that go down 4 flights.”
“Yep.”
“When did I do that?”
“Which time?”
“I did it more than once?”
“Yep.”
The point being I had no memory of that, hence I had a blackout. In all those descriptions of Kavanaugh’s heavy drinking, there’s no way in hell he didn’t have a similar blackout, yet he claims he never had a blackout in his life (under oath in front of congress). Bullshit, and to me that’s proof he’s a liar and committed a crime lying to congress.
All that righteous indignation on his part at the hearing yesterday rang hollow to me. His choirboy interview on Fox and his comments before and since (to me) seems like some false narrative he’s constructed to whitewash his past instead of owning up to it. His outrage seemed (again to me) to have far less to do with refuting what he believes to be false accusations, but more about how dare anyone challenge a prep school / Yale man on his entitlement to his destiny.
If he attains SCOTUS, it will be a huge setback for women and the country. His rulings will be 100% partisan representing the country’s minority view. And that’s the big problem, the minority in this country are overruling the majority.
When they talk about reasonable doubt, it’s usually in regards to convicting someone. In this case there’s reasonable doubt of his qualifications.
So in short Irish slut, I at least partially disagree with you on this. I wonder what Athos will make of that since he’s convinced I agree with you only to bone you?
