Judge Kavanaugh Goes All In

[Rexedgar]

I don’t wish to debate either side of of the Kavanaugh/Ford circus, just a question as to what you think.

If this doesn’t work out for the judge, for whatever reason, can he still be effective in his present position?

Can he salvage his career if he withdraws before the hearing?

 

[Skeptic Bob]

Wouldn’t he have to impeached from his current position? I don’t see that happening without criminal charges, which nobody seems to want to seek.

Whether or not he wants to hide from the limelight after all of this is another thing. I don’t THINK he will resign if he isn’t confirmed.

If he comes out of this dirty he's done.

Now, if that's the case with Kavanaugh, can the senate be effective in its role if they come out dirty when all is said and done? Would it be appropriate to boot Feinstein, Booker, Harris, Coons, Hirono, et al out of office if the end result is that all these accusers are full of ****?

I cannot remember when the Senate or the House R or D, was effective. I am not a fan of this circus or the way it’s been rolled out.

Not to mention the ZERO EVIDENCE/CORROBORATION thingy....

There doesn’t seem to be a statute of limitations for attempted rape in Maryland.

That would affect whether or not a DA moves forward with charges, not whether or not the alleged victim files a report.

I think it would depend on the reason it didn't work out for him.
Impossible to guess about this without knowing the reason.

 

[Skeptic Bob]

He isn’t charged with anything because, again, no police report.

I certainly would view it as attempted rape if true, but I am not a Maryland DA.

do you predict that he will be charged with attempted rape in maryland?

do you also know that the "witnesses" changed their stories and some dont even remember the party?

If he didn't resign, he would have to be impeached by the Senate.

I don't know either, but I heard yesterday by "an expert" on TV that you are correct, no statute of limitations for sexual based crimes.

No and yes.

I'll preface again by saying I'm pretty certain that unless the hearing is delayed on Thursday that Kavanaugh will be confirmed on Friday.

Kavanaugh and his wife would be wise to stay far away from any network interviews such as the one they both did last night on Fox Network. Kavanaugh lied at least once, possibly twice during that interview. It's obvious why he lied but let me prove to you how he lied.

Kavanaugh admitted during the Fox interview that they all drank and he added, "We were of the legal age of 18 and we had beer there and might have had too many beers on occasion". He also vehemently denied at least 3 times that he never drank enough to be incoherent. But at the time of the alleged sexual assault, not all high school seniors were of legal age. Brett Kavanaugh on his biography on the US court of appeals website was born in 1965 meaning he was 17 years old in 1982 when the party is alleged to have happened. Even if he was referring to the beer parties held in 1983, he would have been 18 but Maryland raised its drinking age to 21 on July 1st, 1982 so that means under Maryland's drinking laws, and Connecticut's where Yale is located, Kavanaugh could not have had a drink until at least February 1985 legally.

During the Fox interview, as I've stated already, he emphatically denied ever drinking so much that he couldn't remember what happened the night before. But under his yearbook photo he clearly made references to the 'Keg City Club' and '100 kegs or bust' which of course was a beer drinking club. His freshman year in college roommate stated "he was a notably heavy drinker, even by the standards of the time and that he because aggressive and belligerent when he was very drunk. I did not observe the specific incident in question, but I do remember Brett frequently drinking excessively and becoming incoherently drunk."

IF this were a real court trial, all this would have been brought out in trial and he would have been proven to have lied if he said that under oath. This doesn't seem like it should be a big deal, but there is an important distinction here that someone that will be getting a lucrative job for life and will be judging the truthfulness of defendants or witnesses, also needs to be truthful about whether or not they drank underage 3 decades ago.
