WTF is up with Fox News? They have a poll on their front page claiming more Americans believe her than believe him.
Notice Hannity, Tucker, and Laura cannot really say much against her. They can say things like "presumption of innocence" and these claimed witnesses have said it didn't happen, but that's it. Fox management will not let anyone be seen as "attacking a 'rape victim'".
Hell, last night on of their legal talking heads was pushing for Ford to file charges in Maryland.
Unless you put out some effort, you will not hear any of the important details. You will only hear what the media tells you, and that if you don't believe a "rape victim" no matter what, you're a rape enabler or worse.

Yes. But she's already on that path with her letter to Feinstein and when she testifies, under federal law.Squadron7 said:aggiehawg said:So that raises the question, why hasn't she done that yet?

Correct me if I am wrong...but if they did do this...it would be the first instance of a step down a path wherein there are actual penalties for false statements, wouldn't it?

So Eschoo forwarded it on to Feinstein without Ford's knowledge nor agreement? Hard to believe that.Squadron7 said:aggiehawg said:Yes.

Except that it wasn't to Feinstein. It was to Aschoo. Is there, in fact, a legal difference, penalty-wise?
That, and until she actually walks into the meeting room and raises her right hand...

I just need to know one thing...were they able to use Ford's letter, take it to the FISC and secure a title 1 FISA warrant to surveil Kavanaugh?
If she intended her statement to be provided to the SJC, then it being actually delivered by Eshoo is irrelevant.Quote:
It would have been with her knowledge and (tacit) agreement....but purposely routed through Eshoo (no jurisdiction) to...and this is where the legal eagles come in...avoid a situation of making false statements to an actual member of the Judiciary Committee (Feinstein

But seriously, I wouldn't put it past some of these people.
Serious question: Would it be legal or ethical to use the power of the NSA to investigate Ford and her attorneys, and whether her claims were legitimate? Could you argue that it was a matter of national security?Prosperdick said:

So this guy, when he was 17, had that detailed of an accounting of every thing he did during the summer? What a dork!Quote:
Brett Kavanaugh has calendars from 1982 that his team says don't show a party matching his accuser's account. He plans to give them to the Senate.
This is why he's nominated for the Supreme Court and I'm posting on TexagsAggieUSMC said:So this guy, when he was 17, had that detailed of an accounting of every thing he did during the summer? What a dork!Quote:

That's not how it works...they keep the calendar copies under wrap and fully redacted and delay sharing a copy over and over without any backlash. Oops, sorry, that's what the libs would do...I'm sure he'll turn it over and as you speculated her memory will start to clear up and it will suddenly be late or early summer, or maybe even '83.Rapier108 said:As soon as her attorney gets a copy, they'll finally have the specific date for her to claim, and of course it will be on one which doesn't show where he was.Quote:
