alleged rape with few details shouldn't be on SC.
Alleged rape with more details disregard because the guy is going to be president.

If she testifies and gets called out or looks like a loon - and I think Feinstein knows that's the case - she will be discredited.
Don't testify then she's set for life. All that noise about "her career and family are ruined" - bs. She'll be on The View within days, charge thousands to speak at the next Planned Parenthood conference, and be VIP at every women's march going forward.
Look at poor Anita Hill. Half a dozen books, HBO documentary, movies about her, dozens of honorary degrees, hero to the left. She's doing more than ok and this accuser doesn't want to mess up her potential star power.
There are many significant differences between the Anita Hill situation and this one. Anita Hill worked for Thomas for a couple of years as his assistant. There was no way Thomas could deny knowing her or being in private situations with her. I'm pretty confident that if the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill situation occurred in 2018 instead of 1991, that Clarence Thomas' nomination would not have survived. Anita Hill was a work-place sexual harassment accusation situation that we've already seen bring down a number of pretty powerful men over the last year. If this Ford woman had been someone like an Anita Hill (a former co-worker of Kavanaugh's accusing him of sexual harassment or assualt), then Kavanaugh would be toast right now. Stick a fork in him.Big Al 1992 said:

Yep. Bingo.aginlakeway said:
I'm starting to think she will never testify. Anyone else feel that way?
That way, after Kavanaugh is confirmed, she can go on a media tour and tell her story with no brushback. She can then be called the victim forever and will be worshiped by the left.

She won't testify under oath
Disagree! Justice Thomas prevailed because of the force of his rebuttal testimony! I believe it would likewise survive today for the same reason(s).

Justice Thomas is the freaking GOAT. I'm a young, and was only a toddler when those hearings happened, but as an attorney today, Justice Thomas' opinions and outlook on the law has been an extremely pivotal influence on my judicial philosophy as an attorney.BoerneGator said:Disagree!

I truly believe Grassley wants her to testify so that they can impugn her with the data collected in the past few days and put it to bed for the nonsense it is. Her lawyers won't let her testify.....they wanted Grassley to say no....they failed.
Yes it is, because they think that once they get power, it will never be taken away again and they can do anything they want.SpiDer09 said:
I just received a push notification that says the dems are floating the idea of impeaching Kavanaugh even if he gets voted into the SCOTUS. Is this really a precedent they want to set?

Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, considered moving to another country following Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement earlier this year, her husband says.
"She was like, 'I can't deal with this. If he becomes the nominee, then I'm moving to another country. I cannot live in this country if he's in the Supreme Court,'" her husband, Russell Ford, told The Washington Post for a story published Saturday. "She wanted out."
Kavanaugh was long considered a potential future nominee for the high court, being on a list Trump released during his 2016 campaign of people he would consider picking for the Supreme Court should a vacancy arise.

Odds on whether or not Grassley grants another extension at 10:00 tonight? I'm thinking 3:2...
