It still is a two way street, its just that now the women who alledge these acts 20,30, or even 40 years later are empowered with the money or book deal that may come...
I’m sorry but I don’t buy it .. These people and party who look to ruin careers of others are the lowest!
On another note~~There certainly isn’t any collusion here either, right??? I’m betting Ford didn’t expect the witch, I won’t say her name, to tske tjat provate letter snd put it out there.. Still wongering why she waited so long and did no independant investigation to confirm anything... Set up? You betcha!!
This will be a disaster for Democrats but far short of a victory for Republicans. Kavanaugh will be confirmed.
With less than two days before Sen. Chuck Grassley's deadline for Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were both high school students, to file her written testimony with the Senate Judiciary Committee in order to appear before them on Monday, a few things are becoming clearer, making this entire event somewhat easier to prognosticate.
First, Ford has made herself unavailable to the Senate Judiciary Committee, and is only speaking through her lawyers. She is claiming death threats. I don't deny that she's gotten them, because there's some really sick people out there. But she hasn't gotten death threats from the U.S. Senate.
Second, in a transparently absurd game of goalpost-moving, Ford's attorneys first demanded that the FBI launch a formal criminal investigation, then backed off to merely requiring every "witness" they've implicated to appear before the Senate. Ford's attorneys made this last demand after Sen. Grassley, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to them detailing their options, and why the FBI is not in a position to run an investigation.
Grassley invoked the Constitution and Senate procedures in his letter, stating "The Constitution assigns the Senate and only the Senate with the task of advising the President on his nominee and consenting to the nomination if the circumstances merit. We have no power to commandeer an Executive Branch agency into conducting our due diligence." The letter was a powerful signal that the White House, which is standing behind Kavanaugh, and Republicans in the Senate, are closing ranks and challenging Ford (and Sen. Dianne Feinstein) to produce evidence.
Third, Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a potential swing vote if Democrats can break her away from Kavanaugh, said publicly that she thinks "it's not fair for Judge Kavanaugh for her not to come forward and testify." In other words, Feinstein's plan to launch the allegation and let it just hang in the air, hoping for the mob to run Kavanaugh out on a rail, has failed miserably.
Fourth, Republicans have the votes to confirm Kavanaugh, and there's nothing Democrats can do, having expended all their wet powder. They're clearly out of ammunition.
Now there's going to be Democrats engaging in face-saving, grandstanding, and a massive press effort to dig anything (literally, anything) up to embarrass, smear or otherwise create a cloud over the head of one of the most respected jurists in America. And Kavanaugh will be confirmed.

Wow...You have written quite a large piece Grand icing your position on Brett’s nomination.Some of your points are valid but others don’t pass the smell test. To be honest with you I had hoped that this nomination would have gone through. However, in light of new information which you don’t agree as valid. I personally would like to see the brakes put on this nomination until we talk to the People involved with this case. There seems to be something fishy going on with Senator Grassley and his refusal to let the FBI do it’s job and interview the people involved. Yes I know the FBI has done some investigation into Mr. Kavanagh however, the current topic at hand has not been looked into. What are we scared of?Remember this is a lifetime appointment and we are ready have a sitting Supreme Court judge named Clarence Thomas with this kind of accusation hanging over his head.We certainly don’t need another one.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏DAMN you're good!!!! And AGREED!
