One other woman who did not get to testify had intended to bring her medical records regarding the incident with Kavagnau.
Would that have convinced you? I doubt it.
Should we ask raped women to carefully keep a sperm sample so the police can identify the attacker?
Witnesses? Are you kidding? You'd be damn fool to rape a woman with witnesses watching!
The Replicants patently resorted to push-comes-to-shove tactics in order to get "their guy" on the court. Why?
Because they want desperately to maintain untouched the Electoral College and Gerrymandering. This latter is in fact at the SC, which continues to delay killing it. Why?
Because without the ability to "carve votes" out of the electorate, the Replicants would start losing voting-majorities and thus elections ...
Yes...yes... by now we all know you enjoy partisan ranting about those sinister "Replicants" and I am also sure you can provide us a list of hostile characterizations of Republicans, including their love of cannibalism and weekly practice of baby sacrifice. However, should you ever wish to rejoin the land of the disinterestedly objective, you might actually familiarize yourself with more than the parroting rantings of Ford's attorneys own hostile vagaries.
First, Senator Feinstein and the Democratic leadership knew of her accusations long ago. They had months to call to investigate and resolve this before the election; obviously they chose not to do so as it was in their interest to see it ripen at the last moment and then potentially derail too late for Trump to submit another nomination for timely consideration (i.e. until after a new Senate is seated).
Second, the delaying and then derailing tactics almost worked...but not quite. When push came to shove, there was no "there-there". A woman claimed she experienced an incident in high school. Two other whack-a-doodles appeared making ludicrous claims (one with seeming mental problems) that were either highly implausible or absurd - so much so they actually undermined Ford's case.
Third, there is no corroborating evidence of any of Ford's varying memories- Ford's four alleged witnesses either denied or cannot substantiate any part of her claims. Many holes in her story make little sense. And many other assertions about her own characterizations of her phobias and resultant trauma have been shown to be dubious or false.
Last, whether or not Ford is accurate, delusional, mistaken, or exaggerating boorish teen behavior is unknown. What is known is that high school and college partying, drinking games, and coed chasing is not a disqualifier for any office. The assumption that a federal judge, in his/her youth, must have had a puritanical (and preferably had a monastic) personal life is absurd.
The ploy for delay and derailment has failed. Dr. Ford can go back to nurturing her neurosis and dealing with real or manufactured numerous phobias, and share her politics and views with her like-minded educational psychologists.
Kavanaugh escaped a lynch mob (or dodged a bullet).
The circus is over. Time to move on.
