"I've never sexually assaulted anyone" said every accused rapist ever. If Kavanaugh had a credible defense instead of talking points & theater, he wouldn't be doing this desperate interview on Trump's propaganda media FoxNews. Why won't he let an FBI investigation clear his name?
I-still-don’t-get-it-and-should-recuse-myself-for-bias Senator Orrin Hatch: “It's amazing to me these allegations come out of nowhere…and it's not untypical for our friends on the other side to pull that kind of CRAP." #Kavanaugh
You’d think a guy w/judicial temperament would demand a fact-finding investigation. Kavanaugh prefers a partisan TV stunt, making mawkish pleas of innocence on propaganda FoxNews. Because Brett is a Republican operative in judicial clothing. wapo.st/2xLGPRC?tid=ss… @JRubinBlogger

Wall shutdown showdown’s next act: Trump goes to southern border Thursday “to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.” He’s not negotiating a deal. He’s putting on shows to keep his propaganda on TV/media. Maybe he’ll bring a caravan😒
Trump to visit southern border after telling aides on Sunday he wanted them to come up with a resolution to the shutdown fight that would reopen the government—without him appearing to have capitulated to Democrats. via @WSJ wsj.com/articles/trump…
TV networks agreeing to air Trump's far-right wall propaganda address as if a real national security emergency is pretty despicable. An ominous sign that they haven't learned much about how propagandists use media to elevate bullshit in ways that undermine our country & the press

MAGA America: Trump’s about to speak in the Rose Garden. He reportedly just threatened to keep the govt shutdown for “months and years” over his campaign con wall. While a federal worker tells CNN she can’t pay her bill. #winning 🙃
Trump: “Tremendous things are happening. Wages are finally going up. It’s beautiful. That doesn’t happen from luck. I worked hard on that.” Now he’s just rambling about “open borders,” people getting shot, children…“Coyotes take a left, turn at the wall or powerful steel.” 🤦‍♀️😒

Kavanaugh is seated at the witness table. Starting a new thread for his testimony. He says he wrote it himself and no one has seen a draft of this statement except for one of his former law clerks.
Kavanaugh, appearing angry, notes that Blasey Ford's friend Keyser says she does not know him and doesn't remember being at a gathering with him. "Think about that fact," he says.
Kavanaugh: "My family and my name have been totally and permanently destroyed" by false accusations.

Sen. Grassley is scolding in a gravelly voice, using his opening remarks to complain about process. He's implicitly questioning her credibility saying there wasn't a "whiff of any issue in any way" re "inappropriate sexual behavior" from earlier FBI background investigation

Prepared Written Testimony of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh Nomination Hearing to Serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court September 27, 2018 (submitted September 26, 2018)
Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Feinstein, and Members of the Committee: Eleven days ago,
Dr. Ford publicly accused me of committing a serious wrong more than 36 years ago when we were both in high school. I denied the allegation immediately, unequivocally, and categorically. The next day, I told this Committee that I wanted to testify as soon as possible, under oath,
to clear my name. Over the past few days, other false and uncorroborated accusations have been aired. There has been a frenzy to come up with something—anything, no matter how far-fetched or odious—that will block a vote on my nomination. These are last-minute smears,

Kavanaugh now says, of Dr. Ford, that he "may have met her" (Fox News). But given that they went to different schools, and given *when* they were at those schools, doesn't that suggest that if they did meet it was, uh... at a party in the early eighties, exactly as Ford has said?
2/ He hedged about meeting her, which is odd, as it's unclear in what other setting but a party he'd ever think himself to have encountered her. She says it was ONLY that party, so it's not like he HAS to hedge his bets that way, i.e. she's not going to suddenly say, "At church!"
3/ My point is, to an investigator, his statement that he may have met her means he realizes he may have met her at a party in the early 80s like she says. But then he returns to his legalistic statement that he never "sexually assaulted" anyone, which in this context is evasive.

KAVANAUGH on Dr Ford's allegation that he sexually assaulted her: "I've never sexually assaulted anyone, not in high school, not ever. I've always treated women w/dignity & respect."

He acknowledges he "may have met" Ford. Goes on to tout letter signed by women vouching for him.
KAVANAUGH: "I am not questioning that perhaps Dr. Ford was sexually assaulted by someone at some time. What I know is I never sexually assaulted anyone in high school or any time."
Kavanaugh on Ramirez allegation: "I never did any such thing. Never did any such thing...if I did such a thing, it would have been the talk of the campus. The women I knew in college and the men I knew in college say it is inconceivable that I could have done such a thing."

On the application for my law license, I HAD to disclose the library fine I paid as a teen boy. Had I failed to disclose, I would've flunked the character & fitness background check

#Kavanaugh told the Senate Judiciary committee, under oath, he had never sexually harassed anyone
Why is that?

Because @brooks_rosa's opinion is the minority view. we all understand that a nominee answering "yes, as a teen I was guilty of false imprisonment and assault" is disqualifying for a seat on the highest court in the land.
Most of us understand that sexual violence in not the sort of "general idiocy" we should expect from teen boys. We understand that the neuroscience literature doesn't support the claims @brooks_rosa is making. And we understand her talk of statute of limitations is misapplied
