You guys better get Kavanaugh seated, and fast because there is supposed to be witnesses that say Kavanaugh participated in multiple gang rapes when he was in high school. My question is: would that disqualify him or would you cons seat him anyway? My guess is you would seat him anyway because you elected Trump knowing his past and it didn't bother you one bit. So with Kavanaugh, you can be consistent and this way when Democrats are in charge they can impeach him for being unfit so it's a win-win all the way...

Stormy Daniels‘ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, claims he is aware of “significant evidence” that embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was involved in “gang rapes” during his high school years.

Avenatti tweeted a screenshot Sunday night of an email he wrote to Mike Davis — the chief counsel for nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee — alleging that Kavanaugh, his friend Mark Judge, and others targeted women with drugs and alcohol “in order to allow a ‘train’ of men to subsequently gang rape them” at house parties in the early 1980s. In the letter, he did not specifically allege that Kavanaugh himself assaulted anyone.

Avenatti did not present any evidence or further details about the allegations, but said he was aware of “multiple women” who “will corroborate these facts.”

Avenatti, 47, also revealed Sunday night that he’s representing a third woman who has accused Kavanaugh, 53, of sexual assault. The attorney said he and his client will “be demanding the opportunity to present testimony” to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“The nomination must be withdrawn,” Avenatti added.

The White House did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Up until Trump was elected POTUS, I've never encountered such immoral reprobates, such lowlife riffraff and spiritually barren people as the lib prog politicians, their scumbag lawyers, and the rat pack lemmings that constitute their v**er base.

"Democrat" is just a name now, a left over label from another time, a show heading on a punched ticket stub. The once American democrat party has undergone a metamorphosis, it is now a thoroughly exposed domestic enemy of the United States. The total t***sformation of the Jackass party began just over one hundred years ago, and it does not take an astute political scientist or Nobel historian to trace the infiltration of progressivism into all facets of American government, culture and society. Any honest person could apply proven research techniques to reveal this anti-American encroachment through all p**********l administrations beginning with Wilson. It is for sure a challenging task, given that the popular search engines are programmed to favor liberal progressive sites, but it can be done.

The Flawed Statistic That’s Helping Poison the Brett Kavanaugh Debate
By David French

September 22, 2018 6:00 AM

Only a small fraction of rape claims are proved false, but far more are never pursued, because of insufficient evidence.

It happens every single time there’s a public debate about sex crimes. Advocates for women introduce, in addition to the actual evidence in the case, an additional bit of “data” that bolsters each and every claim of sexual assault. You see, “studies” show that women rarely file false rape claims. According to many activists, when a woman makes a claim of sexual assault, there is an empirically high probability that she’s telling the t***h.

In other words, the very existence of the claim is evidence of the t***h of the claim.

Here, for example, is Isaac Stanley-Becker writing in the Washington Post: “No crime is more underreported than rape, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, which estimates that the rate of false reporting is somewhere between 2 and 10 percent.”

This same statistic is cited again and again. And it’s being cited to bolster Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. Here it is at the BBC, in Vogue, and at Raw Story. This Vox report goes even farther, repeating an incredible and unverifiable claim that “994 out of 1,000 perpetrators walk free.”

I could go on and on. Writing in Vox, Sandra Newman adds a new twist, not only arguing that false rape reports are “quite rare” but that people who make false claims tend to fit a particular profile. Ford’s claim, she says, “sounds nothing like a false rape accusation,” but it “does sound like millions of real attempted rapes.”

If you believe this data, it’s easy to see why people are so outraged when a skeptic says that an alleged victim hasn’t come forward with compelling evidence. After all, it’s a statistical fact. Women are almost always telling the t***h. It’s science.

But there’s a problem. A serious problem. Anyone who tells you that we can statistically peg the number of “false” rape claims is peddling a fatally flawed statistic. There’s a simple reason why: Our system does not adjudicate whether a claim is true or false. It adjudicates burdens of proof. Yes, there are some rare instances where an accuser recants, DNA evidence totally exonerates, or a defendant can decisively prove he is innocent, but those cases represent a small fraction of the whole.

If a prosecutor declines to pursue a case, does that mean the alleged victim filed a proven false claim? Very rarely. Instead, it usually means that the prosecutor doesn’t believe he can prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. If a judge tosses a sexual-harassment lawsuit at summary judgment — or if a civil jury rules against a sexual-harassment plaintiff — does that mean she filed a proven false claim? Very rarely. It instead means that the judge found the allegations insufficient as a matter of law or that the jury found they were not supported by adequate evidence.

These outcomes don’t mean that the allegations are false. They don’t mean that they are true. They simply mean that the evidence didn’t meet necessary thresholds.

For example, in one of the key studies that the National Sexual Violence Resource Center relied on, researchers classified as false only 5.9 percent of cases — but noted that 44.9 percent of cases where classified as “Case did not proceed.” The category was defined as follows:

This classification was applied if the report of a sexual assault did not result in a referral for prosecution or disciplinary action because of insufficient evidence or because the victim withdrew from the process or was unable to identify the perpetrator or because the victim mislabeled the incident (e.g., gave a t***hful account of the incident, but the incident did not meet the legal elements of the crime of sexual assault). [Emphasis added.]

There is absolutely no way to know how many of the claims in that broad category were actually true or likely false. We simply know that the relevant decision-makers did not deem them to be provably true. Yet there are legions of people who glide right past the realities of our legal system and instead consider every claim outside those rare total exonerations to be true. According to this view, the justice system fails everyone else.

This creates an artificially inflated sense of justice denied. It creates incentives (on campus, for example) to create a separate justice system for sexual-abuse cases and to minimize due process for the accused. It shapes the way in which we evaluate other human beings, and it leads countless Americans to prejudge a case without careful regard to the evidence. After all, absent specific evidence that individuals are lying, they must be telling the t***h. Right?

But the reality is far more complex, and that complex reality demands individual adjudication and individual assessments. Yes, there are some small number of women who fabricate claims out of whole cloth. There are men who are clearly guilty. But between the two poles of certainty, there is an enormous amount of ambiguity and confusion, and it is the task of the finder of fact to weigh the specific evidence in that specific case.

Christine Blasey Ford has made a serious allegation. It merits a serious hearing. But as we consider its merit, there should be no default presumption that anyone is telling the t***h.

Your PANIC ATTACK is showing.

PeterS

Once again you are using someone else words instead of yours. And it wouldn't matter if Ford had photographs and a tape recording the conservatives in this Congress would never give it any serious consideration. For you cons, Kavanaugh MUST be seated and everything else is just a distraction. The thing is, if any of this can be shown to be true then T***p w*n't be the only one the new Democrat Congress can impeach. You have women who have nothing to gain by coming forward but coming forward they are and if the charges of gang rape are true then you better hope that such proof doesn't come after he is seated.

As is, you con are backward in terms of being favored to lead Congress and the more reason you give people not to v**e for you the more those numbers are going to go down. And yes, that's fine with me so continue to do what you are doing but when you go down in November remember that someone warned you what the results of being an i***t were going to be...

Is that not exactly what the lib progs in congress are trying to do?

You see, Pete, Liberal progessivism is the spawn of totalitarian statism, it is the bastard child of C*******m, it is an imported ideology alien to American society, culture, and our way of life. Liberal progressivism, like Marxism, like F*****m, like C*******m, is an abstract system of governance conceived by political philosophers and fabricated upon an artificial framework alien to the human spirit and diametrically opposed to any belief in a power greater than itself.

And, Should the liberal progressives take over congress and succeed in ousting president Trump, they will in short order shred our constitution and replace it with a statist Manifesto, should they o*******w our American system of governance and attempt to establish an oppressive one party system, there will be a reckoning. And while the nation is experiencing an unprecedented upheaval, we will be vulnerable to any outside incursions. Our foreign enemies may well take advantage of that and make the moves they have wanted to make for a long time. Wh**ever happens under such a nightmarish circumstance, we will lose our American Republic. Within a decade or so, America will no longer be recognizable. The destruction of our American system of government has been the goal of progressivism for a hundred years. The progressives. beginning with Wilson, have made that very clear.

Welcome to the Brave New World, you fool.

Michael Avenatti is a bottom feeding slug. You are even lower than he is with this posting. The story said there was no evidence that Kavanaugh was involved.

Our foreign enemies played a pivotal roll in exploiting our freedoms to anoint and place in office your quasi f*****t man boy i***t Pumpkinfuhrer, they are also fomenting the internal upheaval you see in this nation by utilizing Trump and even forums like this to attack respected institutions such as the press and the justice department. To fan the flames of racial hatred, nationalism and the rejection of fact and reason. This has nothing to do with progressivism; and progressives have no desire to, as you claim “destroy our great system of government.” Our foreign enemies are already exploiting our situation. Russia has been ceded control of the situation in Syria, China is moving on much of a neglected Africa and greatly increased its leverage in the pacific rim. Trump is working to destroy long enjoyed and enormously beneficial alliances with Western Europe, Canada and Mexico while embracing despots and dictators. Our nation is facing an enormous crisis right now and if you are looking for someone to blame look at those failing to hold a criminal administration responsible for its indefensible actions, look in the mirror.
