After this debacle, who is his or her right mind would want to be nominated to the Supreme Court? No one is ever going to accept a nomination. Seats are going to remain unfilled until every one of the current justices die off

Uhhh... wrong.

Just don't be a bad person with skeletons in the closet. Not that hard boy-os.

Oh, it’s so easy for anyone to imagine or create skeletons. Just like we’re seeing now. All it takes is for one partisan senator to play along

I for one want a SCOTUS nominee who can at least lie effectively.

The dude who wrote this article is right on the money. He even picked up on a couple of things that I missed, and that is extraordinary.

You people defending Kavanaugh really need to read that article and let logic become a part of your life.

Oh, and yes the sentence I wrote up there just a bit ago that you are fuming over...that was just for fun, so pipe down.

Lying under oath is illegal. You gotta really want to take someone down to do that. This becomes circular logic because that's a skeleton to begin with.

All right Harambe, go ahead and post your name and graduating class on the site. I bet about half your old classmates and coworkers will say you were decent and the other half will say you were the devil. Probably some will say you were a stumbling drunk or got drunk at some point. It is pretty incredible that so few individuals are stepping forward to say bad things about Kavanaugh. The dirt people have on him is he drank beer in high school and college, which was not all that uncommon then nor is it now. If you did not allow every person that got drunk into congress, the courts or the senate, all that would be left is a handful of Mormons.

How can you be so arrogant when you’ve acccomploshed nothing in your life? You aren’t intelligent, you’re not a good runner, you’re not skilled at predictions.

RBG has incredible problems and should already have left. Breyer is very close and should also step down soon. Sotomayor is a misandrist racist who should never have been on the bench in the first place. Thomas’ mind seems to have been inactive for some years and should also step down. Clerks and only a few justices doing all of the real work, and the court, and the country, have suffered.

RBG is the big one. Will she continue from a hospital bed?

RBG will retire at 90 yrs old....unless she dies.

What a terrible take. People are hired in jobs all the time. People are vetted by congress. People make national news.

People are always soliciting opinions about other people for various business and personal causes.

The fact is, most people don't get dozens of negative references from classmates 10+ years ago. You have a to make a seriously BAD impression to do that. Most people barely remember 98% of classmates.

Let's not act like having a large percentage of your acquaintances think you're a bad person is normal.

No reasonable person can look at the facts and watch that testimony and say that Dr. Ford was lying. Even Meryl Streep is not that good an actress.

So that just leaves us with the "mistaken identity" theory.

Find me a memory expert who thinks mistaken identity is possible in a case like this. Right now all the experts I have seen are saying that Dr. Ford's testimony is perfectly consistent with what you would expect in this situation.

The attack is seared into her memory. She knew her attacker beforehand, so Kavanaugh's name and face are indelibly associated with the attack.

Find me someone who understands human memory that thinks mistaken identity is possible here.

How about Ms Ford herself?

Strike two. The article doesn't even remotely apply to memories formed while being attacked by someone you know.

And Margot Cleveland is a lawyer affiliated with the Federalist Society. Cleveland has no expertise in memory and probably doesn't understand the article she cited.

Let’s not act like every single one of those “high” percentage is a Democrat with an agenda.

*isn’t

Every single one who went to prestigious schools and every single one who holds academic or business positions are dumb enough to expose themselves to defamation claims by lying?

So why didn't anyone imagine or create skeletons in Neil Gorsuch's closet?

Not one has testified under oath except Judge.

Making false statements about someone opens you up to civil defamation suits.

Is this a good idea against a lawyer with lots of partisan support? Probably not...

Then why did they do it?? Maybe they aren't lying

Pretty crazy to describe him as a serial rapist as neither of the two semi-credible accusers has described anything approaching rape.

Attempted rape = rape

Attempted robbery = robbery

Attempted murder = murder

Got it. That Kavanugh was to drunk to get rip Ford's clothes off it up is not a get-away-wit-attempted-rape card.

Here are some additional inconsistencies from Ford's testimony as I see it:

Said the attack took place from behind, said they locked the door, said she screamed (if she screamed, why don't her friend or the two other individuals at the party remember the party), and then they turned the radio up. Said Kavanaugh held her down, covered her mouth with his hand, fondled her, grinded on her and tried to undress her all at the same time (to do all those things would require about 4 hands). She has never mentioned if the room was dark or light. If the assault was from behind and the room was dark, I would question her ability to positively identify her assailant. If the assault was from the front, I would question why she would not have been able to scream when he would have had to have switched from front to back. Considering there are as few as 4 and as many as 6 boys at the party whom she was only loosely acquainted with, there is a reasonable doubt as to the identity of the assailant. The biggest hole I see is when they got off of her (she did not fight them off) that she didn't scream. She went to the bathroom and locked herself in, but didn't scream. Then she must have teleported out of the house, because evidentally she was able to get out without anyone noticing she left and somehow found her way home without remembering how with no phone in 1982 somewhere miles from her house.
