    8. Ramirez wasn't even sure her memory was correct — until she spent six days going over it with her Democrat lawyer.

    6. A woman who claims she was "best friends" with Ramirez says Ramirez never mentioned the story and initially said her friend's accusations against Kavanaugh might be "politically motivated."

    7. Ramirez, just like Christine Blasey Ford, is a registered Democrat and is dedicated to leftist causes

    It might just be left over desperation from November 2016 that you are smelling.

    You're a lawyer?
    You see nothing wrong with how Kavanaugh's alleged victim is being treated? You keep repeating that the FBI has zero to investigate? Seriously?

    Ok- just humor us;

    (a) You are the alleged sexual assault victims attorney - the defense is telling you - no witnesses, no fbi investigation, no delay -gotta take the stand in 3 days, the jury has made comments regarding your client being "mixed-up" - and have pretty much stated that the accused suspect is pretty much gonna walk. They refused an investigation and said - "it was too long ago - nothing to find there" - there was another WITNESS - but he told the prosecutor "I don't want to testify under oath" and the prosecutor said "ok-sure"
    -- Are you happy with this for your victim/client? -- Are the scales of justice evenly applied here?


    (b) You are Kavanaughs attorney - the prosecutor is telling you - "he will walk" - the jury has been holding "war room sessions" all week and coaching him on how to answer questions, the prosecutor has disallowed any independent investigation even though the standard practice has always been to allow an fbi background to be completed or re-opened whenever new allegations surface but they winked at you and said "don't worry - the president believes your client and will back you 100%
    -- Are you happy being the attorney in this situation?

    A or B seems legally fair to you?

    Since you are a lawyer.


    If I was her attorney (and I'm not a criminal attorney), I would tell her to file a complaint with the Maryland police department. There is no statute of limitations on a rape allegation. I would tell her to have them investigate. Before I went public with the allegation, I would make sure that she could clearly articulate where she was, when it happened, who was there, who's house it was, how she got there, and where she went after. I also wouldn't go to the media and politicize. I would have handled it privately and quietly and if the Maryland police decided there was a case, then it would become public.

    But that's not anything close to what happened here because it has been treated like a political hit job. Unfortunately. That's why I tend to think it is a hoax. Answer the questions above, and then I'd see if I change my mind about the allegation.
    I noticed you didn't answer the question.

    I will ask it again, for Spurs Homer, since you saw fit to ignore a fair question.

    A or B seems legally fair to you?

    Grassley Spends Weekend Practicing Pretending-to-Listen Face

    WASHINGTON —Facing the daunting challenge of appearing to pay attention to a woman’s utterances during a televised hearing, Senator Charles Grassley spent the weekend rehearsing what aides are calling his “pretending to listen” face.

    In round-the-clock practice sessions that aides characterized as “excruciating,” the

    chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee

    struggled to simulate even a trace of interest in what a woman had to say.


    “Chuck has never pretended to listen to a woman before,”

    an aide said.

    “These are uncharted waters.”

    According to the aide, Grassley’s fake-listening skills “are rudimentary at best,” and the senator was

    able to hold only a semi-attentive facial expression for seven seconds

    before it showed unmistakable signs of boredom, irritation, and contempt.


    At one point, Grassley reportedly exploded with frustration, bellowing,

    “If I’d known that going into politics meant I’d have to listen to women, I’d have become a longshoreman.”


    Complicating the mock sessions further was the absence on the Judiciary Committee of any Republican women to whom Grassley could pretend to listen,

    forcing Senator Orrin Hatch to step uncomfortably into the role of a woman.

    Would be hilarious - if this satire wasn't actually true.

    Why Republicans Are Fighting so Hard for Brett Kavanaugh


    They could easily replace him with a nominee who would vote exactly the same way on the Supreme Court. But they won't.

    So why not replace him?

    Part of it is certainly that pulling Kavanaugh's nomination would be a "win" for the other side,

    and in an era of
    negative partisanship when conservatives will burn their own sneakers to own the libs,

    anything that would make Democrats pleased is horrifying to them.

    since for the last decade the GOP has lived in terror of its own base,

    which demands maximal aggression toward Democrats at all times.

    the real problem Republicans face this November isn't that their own voters may grow apathetic and stay home,

    it's that Democratic voters will become more and more angry and engaged.

    But more than that, to defend Kavanaugh is to defend a certain order to the world.

    It's one where a man like him—

    wealthy parents,

    prep school education,

    on to Yale,

    working for Ken Starr and George W. Bush,

    then on to a judgeship

    in preparation for his ascent to the high court—

    is the rightful wielder of power and influence.

    It's one where women know how they're supposed to act and to whom they're supposed to defer.

    And if they're sexually assaulted, they're supposed to just deal with it.

    This must be stopped before things really get out of hand.

    So Republicans are making their stand with Brett Kavanaugh, even in the face of grave political danger.

    At the

    heart of it all, of course, lies Donald Trump, whose misogyny knows no bounds.

    "The antipathy to Trump from women—

    college-educated, white, suburban women—

    transcends anything I've ever seen in politics,

    Republicans will fight this battle for Kavanaugh's sake,

    and for the sake of all he represents.

    No matter the cost.

    Trump is obviously panicking about Kavanaugh not being confirmed, hence the news on Rosenstein this morning.

    Correct me if I am missing something:

    1. Did Kavanaugh get accused by multiple women of the exact same crime?
    2. Did the Bill Cosby accusers provide verifiable dates, times, and locations of the events so they could be verified?
    3. Did Kavanaugh walk around in public telling jokes about how he attacked Ford?
    4. Did the Cosby accusers file a police report instead of going to Sen. Feinstein?
    5. Did the Cosby accusers allow Cosby to have his day in court?
    6. Did the Cosby accusers ask that Cosby testify first and then they would testify and not let Cosby contest what they said?
    7. Were the Cosby accusers willing to take the stand and be cross examined by an attorney to see if their testimony held up to scrutiny?
    Kavanaugh has now been accused by multiple women of the same crime.

    Cosby's sentencing is today btw.
