Kavanaugh Confirmation

[BigOrangeTrain]

Schiff said the burden of proof is on Kavanaugh. LOL. What plant does this dumbass live on

Wait so the burden of proof is now on the one being accused? Lol.

 

[bamawriter]

Still don’t see how he states that without having some backup. Just doesn’t make sense.

Agreed. You don't just plug away at Google and settle on that theory.

 

[evillawyer]

So EL, you claim to be a lawyer, please defend this.

No one has the burden of proof. This is not a trial, there is no standard of proof, let alone a burden of proof or production. This is a glorified job interview.

Now, just speaking in terms of fairness and how things usually work in everyday life, the accuser informally has both the burden of proof and production, so Schiff is wrong about this. But he knows that.

 

[volinbham]

Agreed. You don't just plug away at Google and settle on that theory.

what Carlos posted suggested it was a strategy. Not sure where that came from.

 

[Boston Vol]

I love that the Democrats are still running with the “why isn’t Kavanaugh requesting an FBI investigation like Dr Ford” line. Uh, why would he request an investigation?

Granted. But who pointed Whelan in that direction? It's a strategy to question her obiously shaky memory. Saying "it was this other person," is something else entirely.

They have to beat it into the minds of the sheep.

Ed might be in big trouble.

He said that "he had no knowledge of what did or didn't happen" in that house and that he wasn't implying that Garrett was guilty of anything. He was just saying that she may have the two confused. I tend to agree that is a possible conclusion based on what he stated, as far as the house location, floorplan, etc..

 

[evillawyer]

I think this is an incredibly bad idea. Not a good look to mansplain to a woman that she is misremembering and that the old white men in the room have better access to the facts than the victim.

It's that or call her a liar. Neither will produce the best optics.

It's possible. But you can't roll out a bunch of circumstantial evidence and point the finger at another person without having something concrete. It's insanely irresponsible.

Telling you right now, this will not go over well with the ladies.

I love that the Democrats are still running with the “why isn’t Kavanaugh requesting an FBI investigation like Dr Ford” line. Uh, why would he request an investigation?

The obvious reason would be to indicate he has nothing to hide, an open book, so to speak. I'd suspect that even if he wanted to, he would be advised not to.

Given bad optics either way - go with what you know for sure and avoid adding stuff to the mix that can be disputed.

Screw that mansplaining BS liberal label. One of the 11 republican white men needs to go full bore and hammer questions at her. All this playing around with kid gloves is BS. You want another Tea party? Because this is how you get another tea party.

 

[volinbham]

Sounds like personal experience

Nothing that happens here will go well with the ladies - that's a given

I see what u did

That’s your parties plan. Everyone knows how weak they are.

Agreed.

I can only hope that Whelan spoke to the guy before he started tweeting. Failing to do so is Rolling Stone levels of terrible.

yes apparently

A tea party session might go over well with the ladies.. fancy hats, ties and all.. Brilliant.

Married long enough to know that mansplaining to a woman about what she experienced is a recipe for sleeping on the couch and going celebate for the next week.

 

[theFallGuy]

keep in mind Schiff is the same guy that was freaking about the Nunes memo

As long as it gets some real men elected.

So Ford’s attorney is refusing to respond to the Chief Counsel of the Senate Judiciary. Instead she’s been doing tv interview after tv interview. Close to ten of them so far.
