[W:369]Kavanaugh accused of more unwanted sexual contact by former classmate

Not open for further replies.
The Trump hating crowd is upset that Trump won and many of them complain about anything he does. Appointing Kavanaugh being front and center. Some complain that Kavanaugh was "not qualified" even though being an editor on the Yale Law Journal is a top drawer credential. Those who actually went to big name law schools will confirm that.Yale is the most selective law school in the USA. And then being chosen as an editor of its Law Journal is a very prestigious event.

Still waiting on your evidence that he graduated tops in his class from Yale.

Yes, Yale Law. Gave us the Clintons. Thanks for the reminder about how prestigious they are. And being selected as a Rhodes Scholar, too. Good on Bill.

By the way - not a single SCOTUS judge is there because of being the Notes Editor in their Law School. I would have thought a lawyer would know that you advance in the field based on your experience in the law.
 
Say Yale again. You’ve not reached your quota for the day.

YOu all are trying to pretend Kavanaugh is not qualified. His academic record in law school is typical of successful Supreme court nominees.
 
No proof?

She lied about the two doors

she lied about her fear of flying

everyone she claimed was at the party denied it

she couldn't remember how she got to the party or more importantly, how she got home

If you wanted proof, you would want a non political investigation. End of story

So tell me what were the positions of all the Supreme court justices. Being a notes editor is a prestigious position when it is the top law journal in the country. It is generally part of a very strong resume. Kavanaugh was a well regarded Appellate Judge. The ABA originally rated him with their top level. They changed that when the smear campaign, orchestrated by Feinswine and the creepy porn lawyer started. But that had nothing to do with his well regarded performance on the second most important court in the country.

Or how easily you are bought, as in Kavanaugh’s experience.

The charges were unsupported and fraudulent from the start. And I have been on record, since day one, in saying, those charges, even if true, were not sufficient to derail the nomination in light of his record after he earned his law degree

Why have you not posted the links to back up your claim that he graduated tops in his class?

Was he nominated for the post because he was a Notes Editor? I missed that part of the Trump announcement. Can you link that too?

Another bit of unsupported and pathetic smears

any proof of your claims?

How could we possibly get proof?

The investigation was hampered.

What could y’all possibly have been that afraid of, if Kavanaugh is as good and upstanding as you claim he is?
 
Why named, seriously ?? If not then they're just anonymous sources. Without names their stories can't be validated.

They aren't so keen on the Bill of Rights as it applies to others.

"When the U.S. Constitution was written, the founders worried that there weren't enough protections in the constitution to protect Americans from the worst of the abuses they had seen from the British crown. Therefore, the Bill of Rights was added which provided the first ten amendments that spelled out specific rights that U.S. Citizens would enjoy from their federal government.

The sixth amendment, as part of the Bill of Rights, guarantees certain rights in all criminal prosecutions. One of the enumerated rights in the 6th Amendment is the right to be confronted with the witnesses against the accused. This right is known as the Confrontation Clause. The confrontation clause guarantees criminal defendants the opportunity to face the prosecution's witnesses in the case against them and dispute the witnesses' testimony. This guarantee applies to both statements made in court and statements made outside of court that are offered as evidence during trial.

The Bill of Rights provided guarantees as to criminal prosecutions abuses from the federal government. The state governments did not have to abide by the restrictions of the 6th amendment. That changed when the 14th Amendment was passed which subsequently made the 6th Amendment's right to confrontation applicable to state courts as well as federal courts.

The Right to Cross-Examine

The right to cross-examine is the criminal defendants right to question the witnesses brought against them in court. The accused can challenge these in-court statements of the prosecutions witnesses to test for truthfulness, bias, and validity. The trial court rules can shape or limit the manner of the cross-examination to prevent repetitive or unduly harassing cross-examination. However, if a trial judge restricts cross-examination too severely, a violation of the confrontation clause may have occurred, which can be the basis of appealing the verdict."
