Re: Supreme Court nominee accused

As of tonight, Tuesday, Oct 12th, the only people who know what will happen next, aren't talking.

The Senate Judicial Committee have invited the accuser to appear before the committee this coming Monday to tell her side of the story. She has not, thus far, accepted their invitation.

Rumors are floating around that she may elect to tell her story in a letter but refuse to appear before the committee to be sworn in and questioned.

Earlier I said the alleged event supposedly happened 25 years ago. Today I learned it was closer to 35 years ago when both she and Judge Brett Kavanaugh were in high school.

Re: Supreme Court nominee accused

One small point, it was supposed to have happened 36 years ago.

36 years of silence. Now, she suddenly decides to speak up?

What's her motivation ? Justice Bret Kavanaugh has been a Federal District Court Judge for the last 11 years. It' not like Kavanaugh was an unknown who has just now popped up. He was national known for the last 11 years. Judge Kavanaugh is a conservative. His accuser is a liberal Democrat.


Motivation couldn't be political. Noooooo. Not possible. Ha.

It'll be interesting to see how many others come forward with similar claims. Seems to be the case nowadays that once one person makes an accusation, several others (including the usual spate of compo claimants) soon follow.

So this judge is apparently a serial abuser of women and therefore not fit to hold office in the Supreme Court!!!

That's a shame, as the article states the 65 women are defending him, not accusing him....
