If the Kavanaugh accusations are true...

[NotreDame]

I never said he was a rapist -- I merely suggested that there must be other potential SCOTUS jurists with "a less rape-y reputation."

Are there not? Can't we find a conservative jurist who hasn't been accused of sexual assault, or, failing that, accused by only one woman?



I would demand a full investigation by the FBI to clear my name and insure it doesn't derail my nomination for the Supreme Court.



Three accusers (and counting) does not a reputation make? How odd.

Yes, you are indeed suggesting he is a rapist by stating he has a reputation of raping. Examine your own wording.

I never said he was a rapist -- I merely suggested that there must be other potential SCOTUS jurists with "a less rape-y reputation."

"less rape-y reputation," necessarily means Kavanaugh has a reputation for rape. Shame on you for this inflammatory, reckless, negligent, and irresponsible allegation. Shame on you.

A reputation for rape? No. Especially since none of them have accused Kavanaugh of raping them.

You hit it right on the head here. How badly do you not want another Conservative rep judge?

Republicans refused to even given Garland a hearing

I know I hit it on the head. I'd be content with another conservative judge. One with an upstanding character who truly reflects conservative values. I think John Roberts is a terrific judge. Garland was a good choice in a lot of ways, one being that he was more moderate. I'm content with Gorsuch.

What I love is the baloney that things needed to be delayed even longer because she cannot fly in a plane. How do they walk that lie back when someone finds where she has bought airline tickets for herself? They have it down to now only needing to continue the delaying for about a month more.

Indeed -- a reputation. Not a rapist, but accused of being one.

You can google the difference.

A reputation for rape? No. Especially since none of them have accused Kavanaugh of raping them.

Personally, I'm not one to split hairs over whether the attempts he's been accused of were successful or not.

An accusation is just that. An accusation is not truth. An accusation means nothing about the persons character. (Proof) of wrong doing constitutes a strike on ones character. This is an attack meant to rid Kavanaugh from becoming SCOUTS.

When accusations were made against Bill Cosby they were just that. Accusations. It took a long while to do an investigation. He was just sentenced to state prison for his sexual crimes from decades back.

Kavanaugh's accusers have called for a FBI investigation into the allegations. If he's innocent, he ought to welcome that.

Why are you completely overlooking the fact that the democrats had this information since July and never questioned him on it a single time? Nor did they handle it privately. They sat on it until the last second. This is political games! If the accusation is true, the democrats used a rape victim as political fodder to delay a hearing.

What's fair to Kavenaugh is that these questions should've come up and forward DURING his hearing or even back in July to give the FBI proper time to investigate. Now it just looks like a stall tactic. And you're buying in on it because you don't like the guy.

Your assertion Kavanaugh has a reputation for rape is baseless and shameful.

And yes, stating Kavanaugh has a reputation for rape is to suggest he is a rapist. Reputation is based upon a quality or characteristic a person possesses.

overall quality or character as seen or judged by people in general

b : recognition by other people of some characteristic or ability
​

Your statements are just disgusting. Disgusting.

Did you have anything against Kavanaugh before the dems started using women as tools to smear him when their own questioning didn't appear to be effective at stopping him from being confirmed?

The FBI does not handle sex crimes. For the first point, secondly, that would be taken up at the state level not federal, and thirdly it is Waaaaay beyond the statute of limitations.

He was cleared by the FBI 6 times during his career already.
Besides, these women haven't even presented any evidence to investigate.

Well, this is not a criminal trial; it’s a job interview for the highest court in which the nominee must convince the Senate he is fit for the job. The Federal Bureau of Investigation does in fact investigate such allegations.

 

[Go Braves]

Yeah, you've said that already & my response to you was so what? 6 times in a career isn't that much. These women have asked that the FBI investigate on this specifically, which of course they are able to do. If Kavanaugh was entirely innocent you'd think he'd be glad for such an investigation, that Trump would be glad for it. Classmates of Kavanaugh at Yale were talking about the shady things he did back then prior to Dr. Ford coming forward publicly. The FBI would do things like interview them.

Check his income taxes... see if he ever owned a cat. Just Draaaaaaaag it out.

The job interviews were the private counsels where everyone got to talk with him mono e mono. This is a public assassination of character meant to sway votes and remove Kavanaugh as a SCOTUS prospect.

Would you mind if they also interviewed those who knew him back then and knew him to be a good person who would never do the things he's being accused of? That way, instead of it just being "she said/he said", it would be "200 people say one thing while another 200 people say the opposite".

It's possible that they figured Kavanaugh's naked partisanship, gambling problem, or the fact that he's been living way beyond his means as a federal judge would've torpedoed his nomination without having to bring in a sexual assault victim for the GOP to smear.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Your assertion Kavanaugh has a reputation for rape is baseless and shameful.

You keep saying that -- nevertheless, he has such a reputation.

Now, such a reputation is probably unwarranted, nevertheless, it exists.

And yes, stating Kavanaugh has a reputation for rape is to suggest he is a rapist. Reputation is based upon a quality or characteristic a person possesses.

Or is believed to possess.
