I dunno man, I dunno.

Even in HS you should know better, I don't care how drunk you are. Hand over her mouth--I dunno man, that's pretty bad.

Hand over her mouth, to muffle her protest. Done by a Judge. I know I'm going to get hollered at on here for saying this, but that's awfully shitty for a judge to do--

I think he has a lot of anger and contempt for women, in any event. Typical Federalist Society freak.

Yeah, boys will be boys means going all the way on a bed at a HS house party w a loose chick who is drunk and willing, maybe. Not muffling a homely girl's cries for help while you feel her up, maybe plan on more. Judges should hear cries for help, not muffle them. The thing that bothers me most about it is putting his hand over her mouth. It shows his intent.

I'd go the other way on this, if they're specifically true, he shouldn't be a Supreme Court judge

unless dramatically new information comes to light, I don't see how we're going to know that they're specifically true to any reasonable standard

so this shouldn't keep him from being on the Supreme Court

-Mark Judge says its true

-a credible witness says they were at the party, and saw the involved parties go into the room together, and she seemed to leave in a distressed state

-a credible witness says that Kavanaugh bragged about doing this afterward, or that Mark Judge bragged about doing it with Kavanaugh afterwards

----

Not that I'm the relevant party who's 'burden of proof' needs to be met, but I can't think of anything else that would meet what I would consider to be reasonable 'burden of proof'

I'd be shocked if any of those happened...

if you have a different addition to the fact pattern that you think would change whether the burden of proof has been met, I'm happy to consider it

Okay, I have to give you some props because those things would be great to have to show the veracity of the allegation!

I don't think it would be impossible to get those things, or something similar, after all these years. It's not like you are saying nothing in the world would convince you the allegation was true. Or that you need DNA evidence or a prophet descending from heaven to say it was true or something like that.

But, query, what statements has Judge made on the subject? As I recall, his memory is … selective. He doesn't remember, then he has some memory (perhaps) then he doesn't remember.

And what does Kavanaugh say on the subject? Any deviations in his testimony or anything unusual in what he says on the subject?

I'm not totally sure what you're getting at in paragraphs 3 & 4

my understanding of the fact pattern as it stands now, is that Judge says he doesn't remember anything like this, but he's done a lot of drinking in his life ...

Kavanaugh says he never did anything like this, and never had an incident close enough to the fact pattern laid out in the allegation, such that he didn't know who was even making the allegation until WP publicized the name.

is there currently a change in the fact pattern that I'm not familiar with?

Given the time lapse that we're talking about here, I don't expect Kavanaugh or Judge to have perfect recall of non-material facts

I guess an interesting question that I'm not sure how to answer, now that we know who the accuser is. I suspect that on Monday, we'll find out if Kavanaugh says he knew her back then.

If he say he didn't know her, and then a reasonable basis for thinking he did, a blatant lie to the senate on that question should probably keep him off,

(but 'we might have crossed paths, idk, but if we did, I didn't try to rape her' and then a picture surfaces of the two of them at the same party, shouldn't)

I don't necessarily disagree.

If K says something like "I wasn't even at that party" which is I believe something like what he said, then I would query how his memory works.

I believe F has had some inconsistencies. First that he didn't remember and then that well he didnt want to say anything because K was a wild man in the day and then when formal testimony became likely he again said I don't remember.

It's enough to raise concerns, but … lets see. You aren't cuckamonga on how evidence works, at least.

Given the hyper-political nature of this, I don't think this is a relevant factor.

Kavanaugh has almost certainly interacted with thousands of die-hard liberal women in his life.

1 woman willing to make up bullshit to save the republic isn't materially different from 20 women willing to make up bullshit to save the republic

its not the accusation count, its the accusations that can be substantiated count, and 1 substantiated accusation is enough, 20 unsubstantiated accusations aren't enough

You are asking me things that require work to answer.

I would want to know more details about the amount of documents that were withheld, for one thing. Keep in mind that what was withheld was more than was withheld for any other candidate ever. We really should have some FBI work done to pursue this allegation, in all fairness as well. It's a shame, and curious, that the GOP declined to do this, which is certainly within the rubric of the FBI's responsibilities.
