Dr. Ford testified to zero actual evidence. Her "testimony" was so useless that not a single thing she said could remotely substantiate a "boob grab" in maybe 1982. Republican were too afraid of "being mean to a woman" that they didn't seriously question her. They could have absolutely destroyed her claims.Quote:
As for the bolded part, Dr. Ford did testify in front of Congress. Not just a deposition, but in person. Why is it that the Republicans are afraid to testify in front of Congress, and will only submit to depositions? Perhaps they are trying to hide something?

No. And if there had been any Republicans with legal knowledge to cross these witnesses, there would not be hearings at all. Jordan would have ripped Barr to shreds for instance on his prior inconsistent statements and his abuse of Executive Privilege that was Trump's to assert, not Barr's.Bigballin said:

Why didn't McCarthy just give Pelosi two other Republican names to replace the 2 out of the 5 she rejected? I understand the frustration on McCarthy's part, but wouldn't it have been better to have more GOP reps, which would have included my own rep, Troy Nehls? Just curious.aggiehawg said:No. And if there had been any Republicans with legal knowledge to cross these witnesses, there would not be hearings at all.

There was no legitimate reason for Pelosi to nix McCarthy's selections the first time so trying again wouldn't change anything.

Pelosi rejected Banks and Jordan because they were going to present objections on January 6th before the joint session was derailed.Quote:

The committee lost all credibility at that point, indicating that only one side of the story would ever be heard.

I was trying to figure out what kind of logic that was.

However, she had no issues with putting Schiff. Lofgren and Raskin who were leaders of Trump's snap impeachment over Jan 6th on the committee.
Rules for thee, not for me.
I should have stated in my original response, that neither the Kavanaugh Assualt or 1/6 warranted a politicized committee used to only to sling mud. It would have been stupid and transparently partisan for Republicans to do it as it is for Democrats to do it now.Watermelon Man said:Such an old trick, it should be called the GOT (Grand Old Trick). Accuse you opponents of your strategies, either before or after you employ them. That way, you can support your "both sides do it" claim.aggieforester05 said:Do you have any self awareness at all? Do you not understand that the primary reason Conservatives are so upset with the political climate is the exact reasons you described above, but in the opposite direction? The problem for example is that we have a 1/6 committee, but there was no Kavanaugh assault hearings. Nobody bothered to get to the bottom of the latter, because it was perpetrated by liberals. If conservatives had done the same they would be imprisoned for decades. The rule of law in todays age absolutely concerns itself with political affiliation and we want that to stop. If conservatives/Republicans or liberals/Democrats break the law or engage in malicious/corrupt activities they should be treated the same, but they are clearly not. The American left is rotten to the core and is completely content weaponizing federal law enforcement to punish their political enemies for crimes that wouldn't even make a news article if it were committed by a lefty. Trying to deny that there is a double standard is akin to being a flat earther at this point.Watermelon Man said:I am not clear on the facts of what you are calling "the Kavanaugh assault" so I am not sure it is an apt comparison. Did it force Congress to shut down, clear the House chamber, and force Congress to go into hiding? Was it targeted towards all members of Congress, or only specific ones? That is, was it a revolt against the whole of Congress, or a protest against aimed at specific representatives? I really don't know, so if you can elaborate on the specifics you might have a point. I can't seem to be able to find anything on it.Maroon Dawn said:
Somebody planned the Kavanaugh assault and encouraged others to participate in it expressly in order to revolt against the legal authority of the peoples representatives in order to overthrow him from being installed
Sounds like it meets your definition again
Buuuuuut
Let me guess:
It's STILL (D)ifferent
Regardless, just for the sake of argument, if you feel there were seditious actions taken against the US Congress during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, you would need to find out who the 'somebody' was who planned it and encouraged others to participate as well as evidence of these actions. I'm sorry, but I can't seem to be able to find anything. Again, if you could provide more information, you might have a point.
But, for the record, if a Democrat planned and encouraged a coordinated attack on the Congress on the United States, I would hope they would be indicted, and if found guilty, punished as prescribed by law. The rule of law (in the US, anyway) should not concern itself on political affiliation. I realize that many Republicans feel that political affiliation should be considered when applying the rule of law, but I think that those people are wrong.

Trump's lawyers, inside and outside of the White House generally sucked. Oh and they violated Executive and Attorney Client Privilege.Dan Scott said:

Had this guy been charged in Harris County for he would have been released on $106 bail, $2 bond on every count.Quote:
Judge again refuses to release Pittsburgh-area ex-Army Ranger charged with assaulting police at Jan. 6 Capitol riot
Mr. Morss, 29, is charged with 53 counts. Prosecutors said he led the violence and has shown no remorse. The FBI found a speech he wrote on his iCloud account, which they say he intended to deliver to a judge at some point, in which he said he said he has no regrets for his violence and denounces Congress for not doing Mr. Trump's bidding in overturning the election.
I wonder what would happen if 10,000 Texans would surround the federal lockup with "Fed Up", "Texit" and "Release the 1/6 Prisoners" signs to express their 1st amendment rights to the politically corrupt bureaucRATS in uniform there?Quote:
