There is no proof for either side, so all we have is reasonable doubt. I will now supply the reasonable doubt to exclude the testimony of Christine Ford.
1. It happened 30 or 40 some years ago. Why wait this long? Sure, it is possible that she was traumatized from the attack, but we all know if Kav was not being put on the Supreme Court, nothing would have ever been said about it. And from what I understand, she does not even claimed to have been raped.
2. Dims did this with Clearance Thomas as well. It is now an established pattern to accuse conservative nominees of some sort of sexual misconduct without any evidence
3. Ford has a history of hating Trump and is active in protesting him and even wrote the ACLU that Trump was abusing children at the border. She is obviously apart of the "resist" movement, thus explaining these accusations.
4. The allegations were known as far back as July, but were held back by Feinstein. Why? Now that it is known, Ford is refusing to testify and insists a lengthy investigation be conducted first by the FBI. Well excuse me, I thought giving testimony was apart of the investigation process. In fact, her testimony is all the evidence we have, so why not present it before the world to see? This conduct is indicative of merely delaying this process as long as possible.
5. There are no witnesses that will corroborate her story. None.
6. Women Kav has known and dated have come forth to back him. Not having a pattern of behavior indicates that no such behavior exists.
7. Judge Kavaugh ruled against Ford's parents in a foreclosure ruling in the past. More bad blood.
Now it's your turn Dims. Why should we believe Ford?
The reason --- not reasons --- you believe Kavanaugh is obvious.
Let's be honest here, if there was video of him sexually assaulting this woman, you would still be fine with him being nominated and appointed to the SC.
I don't know how I would feel to be honest. If the story is true, you have a 17 year old kid drunk and out of control and attempted to have sex in a forceful manner and failed for whatever reason.
Then he lives the rest of his life without a blemish.
Should we punish him for the rest of his life for this?
Now you be honest, you would not care about this story if Kavanugh were not being put on the Supreme Court.
whomever is on the supreme court affects you and me and the professor for the rest of our lives, and what this country stands for... it's more important than our own selves...
her coming forward, knowing what holy hell you are going to do to her and her family and say about her and her family and her livelihood and the threats that will come to her and her family's and their safety...
There is no benefit to her, by coming forward...
but there is a benefit for our country to not reward someone... for being dishonest, or a drunkard even if it was in high school, or for any man that puts a girl through, what this woman claims he and his co-conspirator friend put her through...
even if he repented and changed his life yadahdahdahdahdah... there are other conservative judges on Trump's list, with a clean character their entire lives, even when at 17... that deserve and can be trusted with, the most powerful and honorable position as the Supreme Court Justice position and would better represent our country in an honest manner....
NOTE! This opinion is all from the perspective of Him being dishonest about this incident...and it being evident that he is being dishonest... you were asked or told that you would support him, even if guilty....
and this is what my response is to...
if it appeared like he was being dishonest, and he did put the professor through this when she was 15, what does that say about your character if you really didn't mind him being a SC Justice, when the whole world could see that he was lying about what he did to her at 17....? HOW would every female citizen feel about a bunch of old men in the Senate appointing / rewarding a man that is obviously being dishonest about his mistreatment of a 15 year old girl long ago?
The country deserves better than that...
Females deserve better than that...
The Supreme court deserves better than that...
