I don't know what you expect anyone to say about Cruz.
Ted Cruz looks like the kind of guy whose skin is always clammy for some reason.
You do not have to believe Ford. You really don't. But if you are weighing everything we DO know, you'd have to conclude that...
Brett Kavanaugh has not been telling the truth about his life. This much is clear. The fact that he has not demanded an investigation to clear his name that he was so passionate about yesterday speaks volumes. He was angry about the tarnish to his name, right? Why not demand an investigation so that the name can be cleared? The fact that he refused to answer questions about wanting an investigation speaks volumes. He repeatedly dodged the question. He DODGED it. Look at his answers. Why is he dodging it? It speaks volumes. If the man has been PROVEN to have not told the truth and is at the same time dodging questions, both are disqualifying for the position he is applying for.
But my hunch is that he will be confirmed. His confirmation will cast a cloud of doubt to the court's credibility for the next generation.
What I really don't get is how one can say they found Ford believable but are voting for him anyway.

I wouldn't want an investigation either, even if I was telling the truth. Nothing good would come out of it.
I have a feeling his calendar was a 30 year old plant. Who the hell keeps a calendar for 30 years? I think he made that calendar after something bad happened one night. He was making his alibi and kept it in case they ever came after him.

This is pretty interesting actually. I guess we'd need to see calendars from before 1982 to eliminate this as a possibility. The FBI could ask to see them.
Shit, never mind.

Looking over his calender, I don't see any entry for the service project he spent so much time on. Does anyone even know if such a project existed. I also see he doesn't mention any church activities.

Quote: billryanThe gop cares more about winning than seeing justice. I can't say with certainty the other side doesnt as well, but it's obvious where republicans stand. They somehow are so afraid of the future that they must rush the appointment of an accused rapist through today rather than wait a week. I don't know if he is guilty of rape, but it's obvious he is lying about a number of things. Why would an innocent man choose to live the rest of his life under the cloud of being an accused rapist rather than wait a week and hopefully be cleared.
What I really don't get is how one can say they found Ford believable but are voting for him anyway.
That is the same logic that allows you to call for an FBI investigation when all of the witnesses say it didn't happen. Wait until other women see how easy it is to get a payday for false allegations. No man with status or cash is safe anymore.
Let's see what happens.

In the event that additional physical and circumstantial evidences do not reach any "guilt/innocent" conclusion, polygraph test would then become a crucial evident in this case is to judge Kavanaugh's integrity and credibility.
Judging Kavanaugh's difficulty and his numbing/stuttering and evasiveness in answering many questions during yesterday hearing, I wonder if Kavanaugh will pass the polygraph test.
Quote: MaxPenThat is the same logic that allows you to call for an FBI investigation when all of the witnesses say it didn't happen.
First of all, they are not witnesses. Second of all, only one of them says it didn't happen. As a federal judge, the "Honorable Judge" Kavanaugh is misrepresenting what those people said in their statements. That, along with his inability or reluctance to tell the truth about himself, is disqualifying for the SCOTUS.

I am a social worker of over 40 years of practice interviewing children and adults regarding child abuse and neglect. I cannot say this is a fact, but whenever clients deny behavior they have been accused of, I consider it problematic if they display any of the following:
1. They become defensive in an intense and self-righteous manner.
2. They challenge the interviewer personally, questioning my past regarding the topic; as if this behavior is a norm even of it is wrong.
3. They blame everyone for the situation they are in, or try to shift the blame.
4. They ALWAYS work themselves up into a frenzy, crying in frustration and anger that they are being victimized.
5. They angrily lash out about being a victim of “the system” or name specific persons or organizations out to get them.
6. Their defense is overly emotional....almost scary, usually involving spitting out words and turning red faced.
7. They use their social status and past accomplishments as proof they are not “that type” of person that would do such a thing.
7. They indigently refuse tests, studies or investigations, even if it would prove their innocence or improve their standing in the case.
Any of the above sound like anyone???????

Polygraphs are mostly pseudoscience.
Pretty much never admissible in court.
I’d rather not see it be used in something this serious.

I am aware that polygraph test is not admissible in court. But in this serious matter for a SCOTUS lifetime appointment, polygraph test should be considered as part of the FBI investigation (it is my understanding polygraph test is a requirement for many positions in the private and public sectors).

-A couple red state Dems (Manchin, Heidkamp) join them
-Kavanaugh gets confirmed next weekend/early the week after
Quote: TigerWuSo is anybody making bets on whether or not Kavanaugh makes it?
If Kavanaugh is required to take polygraph test, then I'm somewhat confident that he will fail the polygraph test. But in this highly partisan congress, I don't know how the senators will vote.
One election took seven ballots and the two guys who won weren't on the first five.
At the end, no matter who won or lost, the final vote was unanimous so no one could pull the "well, I didn't vote for him".
I'd like to that apply to all Supreme Court nominees. Once a person is confirmed, a unanimous vote of confidence.

That makes no sense based on my comment. Why do you guys dependent on the dole get so mad at anyone that even says the word WELFARE? I wasn't even inferring in that context.
Besides, if I have anything to say about it, this will be my last year cutting a 5 figure check to the IRS along with having had a similar amount withheld every damn year. That family that I never knew can take my portrait off their vile dartboard as I have thrown their portrait in the trash. Still doesn't stop me from giving of my own free will to the old lady outside of Sprouts or the couple that lives on the bus bench.
Why Maryland police aren’t investigating the Kavanaugh allegation:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/amid-the-ford-kavanaugh-exchanges-have-the-local-police-been-asked-to-investigate/2018/09/27/7787d8c0-c297-11e8-a1f0-a4051b6ad114_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.a787ef7481ba
The most serious allegation that authorities could pursue, given the sworn testimony provided by Ford, would be attempted rape. But that was considered a misdemeanor in Maryland in 1982, and that would be the relevant legal standard.
As a misdemeanor, the offense carried a one-year statute of limitations, meaning charges would have had to be filed within a year of an incident, according to John McCarthy, Montgomery County’s longtime chief prosecutor.
