i can’t help but wonder if all the senators are really senators or just some sort of actor.

Pretty sure they are all really senators. It is kinda difficult to fake being a senator. They each have to run for state wide election. Their faces are well known in their states.

Any female can say they are a sexual assault survivor.

yeah, they love to play the victim, am i right?

I don’t know what your point is. We know nothing about this woman that confronted the Senator. We have no idea if she is a victim or sexual assault or not. She could be some nut. Or someone in the Dems put her up to it. Who knows.

Ahahahahaha holy shit Warbler.

Thanks for your thoughtful response and attempt to engage in meaningful dialogue. Exactly what this thread has been missing.

What would be the point? Warbler isn’t known for meaningful dialogue in this thread. And how do you even respond to any of those posts? They’re ridiculous.

I was wondering when you were going to post again. Just to be clear the 3 posts you quoted were about the woman(women) that confronted the Senator on the elevator earlier today, they were not about Ford and Kavanaugh. I don’t know what was so shocking about what I said. We know nothing about the woman(women) that confronted that Senator.

Well she could be. I mean its not like hiring actors has never been done.

But I’m not sure how likely that is either. I guess if someone recognized her and tied her to some acting guild that would do.

And the probability of hiring an actor who just happened to also be a sexual assault survivor is significant as well. “Hired activist prop” is not a 100% overlap with “not a survivor”.

True, she could be a hired activist and a sexual assault survivor, or she could be a sexual assault survivor and not a hired actor or she could be some actor and not a sexual assault survivor, or she could just be some nut. We have no idea which.

It seems to me he puts at least some thought into the things he says even if they’re somewhat outlandish.

And how do you even respond to any of those posts? They’re ridiculous.

By telling him why it’s unlikely that these women are crisis actors. I believe Trident did it just fine.
Or by ignoring the posts. Better than “Holy shit, you’re stupid!”

Even if he did lose some of his memory while drunk, it doesn’t prove he assaulted her.

Do you even realize how low you and the republicans have just set the bar for being a supreme court justice!? So it’s acceptable for a supreme court appointee to have had past problems with alcohol, even if they lie by denying it, and even in the presence of sworn testimony by a respected professor that said drunkenness led to sexual assault, so long as that particular assault can’t be PROVEN beyond a reasonable doubt.

Me and Republicans? Please don’t include me with them. I think my own thoughts.

So it’s acceptable for a supreme court appointee to have had past problems with alcohol,

Yes, if they are truly in the past and not in the present.

even if they lie by denying it,

Maybe not.

and even in the presence of sworn testimony by a respected professor that said drunkenness led to sexual assault, so long as that particular assault can’t be PROVEN beyond a reasonable doubt.

I don’t know.

I would hardly classify getting drunk at a high school party as having an alcohol problem.

The rest though I agree sets the bar pretty low.

Ignoring the he-said-she-said aspect of this currently, I’m simply stunned at how ridiculously partisan Kavanaugh sounded during the hearing.

I would expect anyone being considered for the Supreme Court to be a little less partisan.

Why would you expect that? Honestly, I’m curious why. SCOTUS picks are the most partisan things a President can do.

Maybe it’s just wishful thinking but I feel like everyone’s always eager to State how they don’t like it when anyone on the Supreme Court says anything publicly that sounds political and yet during his hearing cavanal kept getting pissed off at the Democrats the Democrats the Democrats.

Sure picking the nominee is very partisan but the nominee themselves acting partisan?

There are similar posts to this all over the Forum. Saying holy s*** (insert users name here) is literally an expression that is used all over the place to express incredulity.

I think I understand what you’re saying and I too would hope that anyone being considered for the Supreme Court would be less partisan. The law is already written. Their job should be to interpret it as impartially and objectively as possible.

This is sadly not the case.

Wouldn’t a history of alcoholism be a disqualifying factor in of itself?

Not if it is passed history. People have been known to have a problem with alcohol and overcome it later on. Remember you are talking about a history of extremely drinking when he was a teenager. I have heard no one say that he still has a drinking problem. Does extreme drinking necessarily = alcoholism?

I drank heavily during the 4 years I was in college and then pretty much stopped outside occasional social gatherings. Never blacked out, but did get thoroughly wasted on many occasions and it definitely altered my behavior.

It’s entirely possible Kavanaugh did what Ford says he did if he was a heavy drinker. However, labeling him an alcoholic because of heavy college drinking only shows that the person applying the label has no idea what alcoholism is—or is simply using it as a smear to disqualify him or sully his character.

Yes. He’s been asked repeatedly, particularly in this thread, to provide more substantive responses. Even though it’s gotten testy on occasion, overall the discussion in here has been great for the last month or so and I’d like it to stay that way. I have zero tolerance for that junk creeping back in now that things are civil.

Participate in the discussion/debate or get out.

How possible do you think it is that someone could sexually assault someone and totally completely forget it due to extreme drunkenness?

Don’t forget that someone can also straight up lie about it.
