This is proceeding is a job interview, not a criminal trial. I've already heard enough to conclude he doesn't deserve the job. He's lied repeatedly under oath to the Senate on two separate occasions, so his denials now are not persuasive. Mark Judge, who could completely exonerate him, has changed his story and now refuses to testify. That is a huge red flag. Dr. Ford's story is detailed and credible.
There are other indicators that he is not worthy of the job as well, such as being mentored by a judge who was removed from office for egregious sexual harassment, harassment Kavanaugh unconvincingly claims he knew nothing about.

She is hiding because she received death threats by Republican deplorables (there are those Republicans who are not deplorable). She and her family moved to an undisclosed location.
She’s given one written statement and, for all we know, she could be preparing for a Monday testimony. Not likely, but not impossible.
There is nothing illogical about this. There is a due process that Democrats would like to see happen (a proper investigation which would include interviewing witnesses) that Republicans are dead set against.

This claim has been addressed so many times. Maybe this will help (I'll try to find other posts and post them for you) - from another thread:
[quote]The White House refusal to have the FBI investigate this allegation is likely unprecedented. I worked on nominations in the Clinton Justice Department and again for Obama for a few years. It is very standard practice to reopen a background investigation when a credible allegation comes to light in the latter stages of the confirmation process. I authorized the FBI to go back and look into allegations probably a dozen or so times over the course of 10 years and about 400 + candidates.
[quote]The absurd notion the WH is peddling -- that the FBI doesn't do this type of investigation -- is absurd and bizarre. They investigate crimes and they investigate nominees' backgrounds. This is pretty standard fare for the BI Unit over at the FBI. No, of course he is not being accused of a federal crime, but that is beside the point. The Democrats should not let them get away with this. The proper protocol is for the background to be reopened and for the FBI to investigate the allegations that Dr. Ford has (credibly) made.

Beyond Ms. Ford's allegations, there's something really fishy about Kavanaugh's finances. He bought a McMansion in 2006 for 1.2 million. He refinanced twice, and still owes 865K on it. All the credit card debt explained away as purchasing season tickets to the crappy Nationals games for friends.
I have kids. My salary is in the same ballpark as Kavanaugh's and he's a few years older than me. I live in a high-cost city. Why do I have so much more money than he does? Something doesn't add up.

Found this online and figured it was relevant to this case.
"Contemporary Western Courts are still based on the Roman Court system and the burden of proof falls on the Accuser. Unfortunately, there is a significant amount of legislation that exists in which the mere accusation is perceived as “proof”, particularly when it comes to driving offences.
When it comes to Criminal proceedings, police will often drop charges because the Prosecutor does not feel that there is sufficient evidence to prove the case.
This is what makes Rape cases so difficult for the victims. They must virtually relive the entire violation several times in making Statements and then being put on trial themselves while in the Witness box.
Every accused person is allegedly “innocent until proven guilty”, although I have seen many cases where the wrongly accused ends up carrying the burden of proof of innocence.
For some Prosecutors, winning takes priority over the facts.
It is incumbent on the Court to adjudicate a case based only on the current facts, without reference to previous record or character. History and character are brought into account when it comes to Sentencing."
Those trying to convict Kavanaugh because of anything other than the facts of the case are in the wrong. Presenting an allegation without any details as to when the alleged crime happened make it impossible to corroborate during an investigation.

Obviously, he can't and shouldn't be prosecuted as a criminal at this point, and personally, I don't think this kind of incident should keep someone from obtaining an ordinary job 35 years down the road.

Of course he attempted to sexually assault Blasey. He's done. Cooked. Turn the oven to off.

Absolutely no further SC judges should be seated until after the Mueller investigation is complete. It's very likely trump's presidency is illegitimate. Repubes are only rushing this to cement a bigoted and corrupt power on the Court. I hope that in 20 years, after most of these traitors have died off, that the younger generation brings back compassion and reason to this democracy.

The people defending this guy here are a trinity of simpletons, culture warriors, and trolls. The demonstrable facts of the case, most damning the recounting of the story to the therapist years before the nominee becoming a national figure, support her version of the facts. It cannot be argued that this incident occurred in the way the victim has described.
Since it is clear that there was attempt to assault, whether or not the supporters of Kavanaugh believe that attempted sexual assault is a barrable offense is the issue. It is obvious what they think, however the Senate Republicans do not want to be seen as sanctioning sexual violence. Thus we have the arbitrary procedural moves from Grassley and character assassinations from the President.
This bridge should have been long crossed, but make no mistake, the Republican Party has relinquished the banner of Christian respectability they once so loudly and proudly waved.

Republicans: the party of rapists, pedophiles and wife-beaters.

It can certainly be argued. Did she identify Kavanaugh to her therapist? All we have is an allegation that are not supported by any facts. Kavanaugh claims he wasn't even at the party and that the accuser may have confused him with someone else. His word is just as reliable as hers at this point.

You're decrying the Republican Party for their lack of Christian ethics yet claim they are the culture warriors. Clearly the irony is lost on you.

I believe her.....Kavanaugh bringing his daughters to the confirmation hearing (knowing they would be subjected to horrible information abt him)...and the lies he told throughout his testimony plus Trump sealing 100 pages of his notes is proof.But Conservative trolls don't care....they like pedos and rapist. Look who they put in the White House.
