Spence, it’s bad for the senate to bring in an expert sexual crimes prosecutor who is a female, to question both Ford and Kavanaugh? i’d think you and Ford would love that move. i doubt she wants to get questioned by a bunch of old white guys, right? why not bring in an expert who knows how to best get to the truth in these situations?
It can’t be that neither you nor Ford is interested in the truth, but rather in smear, can it? that would explain why she hasn’t asked the Md police to investigate. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

Sorry that is the way politics works, it's not pretty or nice. I said last week they should have gracefully yanked him, and put in a woman. |

the maryland police posted something, they didn’t say the statute was up, they said something to the effect that if she asked, they’d investigate. you’re right that politics isn’t pretty or nice. but it doesn’t need to be this ugly, this regularly. i know this because i’m old enough to remember when it wasn’t. you did say to put in the woman. trump will not yank him, nor should he, with just an accusation. if that’s enough, who will ever get confirmed again? an accusation is not evidence, not even close.

"Investigators in Montgomery County have apparently spoken with either a woman or her attorney about allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh that date back to his senior year of high school. Investigators have apparently spoken to multiple witnesses about the allegations. A formal complaint has not been filed. “Without a complaint, they cannot conduct a further investigation,” said Karem. “That’s the fulcrum.” In Maryland, there is no statute of limitations for rape and attempted rape. The county police and the Montgomery County prosecuting attorney’s office have said they would conduct an investigation into the case, if a complaint is filed." It's always been this ugly, you just never saw it. I've known some old politicians and had that discussion. It was done in backrooms, out of sight and the newscycle was a week, not minutes. Nobody had email, they talked and left no trace. |

“they might be being nice about it” i bet that’s it. no, i see it. not that long ago, it wasn’t like this. Clarence Thomas got confirmed by a democrat controlled senate. it got ugly, and never returned to civilized, during bush’s presidency. it has not always been like this, not even close.

the only reason they are having a female ask the question is so the can say look we cared ... she asked the question not us :kewl:

If i had evidence that someone had committed a crime, i have leverage over them. I can go to the police and file the complaint or just ask them to stop what they are doing that i disagree with. That's what i mean by being nice, giving them a chance to just go on with their life and not continue in the direction they are going. |

Interpreting by text proscribes the desire to interject ideas and opinions outside of the text. It denies the ability of the judge to impact government other than limiting it to its constitutional powers. Interpreting outside of the text eliminates the text (the Constitution), brushes it aside as an impediment to arriving at a desired judgment. And thereby gives a judge the ability to create policy or to support otherwise Congressional unconstitutional legislation. That is the scary that Pete F, perhaps inadvertently, refers to. The two methods of interpretation cannot be used in conjunction with each other. They are opposing methods. |

What code? Judges don't build. And they don't create building codes. They judge by applying existing codes. If those codes don't "build," it is up to the builders to change them. A good overall government code provides for change. As does the U.S. Constitution--which does not give the judicial branch the power to change the code. If judges create the laws which they adjudicate, that should surely be a system that Pete F would think is scary. Are you suggesting we should have such a system? |

If there is nothing beyond allegations and hearsay, he's probably going to get confirmed. I would say definite, but they might get 2 defections from Collins, Murkowski, and Flake. Also possible Pence breaks the tie. |

I still don't see the bad idea of bringing in a subject matter expert. Well, I see the problem if this is just a smear campaign, I see no problem if the goal is justice. |
I wonder if the democrats have reached peak crazy yet....

which senator has not supported ford's right to be heard? they've bent over backwards to ensure that she is heard....yes flake is a flake....ahhh I see....someone from somewhere called his office....he's far more likely to be accosted by an angry mob of leftists in a restaurant if he votes to confirm

so all the democrats want an fbi investigation, even though lithe fbi investigated him six times and missed that he participated in 10 gang rapes. Ten.
Does anybody believe this? Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
