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.

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

Very possible. I had friends who were heavier drinkers than I was and I’d tell them stories the next day about shit they did or said and they wouldn’t remember.

But we are not just talking ordinary shit people do while drunk. We are talking about sexual assault. Any of them commit a sexual assault and not remember it the next day?

No, but my lived experiences aren’t the sum total of all possibilities. It’s also important to remember that if Kavanaugh did get wasted and assaulted Ford, it’s possible that in his mind his actions weren’t out of bounds since alcohol messes with your reasoning, so he could’ve seen it as a sloppy attempt at getting laid rather than a forceful assault and not worthy of much study/contemplation.

This I agree with

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

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.

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.

Yep that’s what I meant

I can help wondering if she really is a sexual assault survivor or some sort of actor.

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.

The thread has been fairly civil. Don’t take it down this path again. Consider this an official warning.

I’m going to just go ahead and step in here since anytime Frink asks for clarification you ban him.

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.

Maybe the haha was a bit too much but seriously this is ban Worthy?

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?

Ahahahahaha holy shit Warbler.

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.

It was just an expression
