Kavanaugh Kerfuffle Kills Known Experience: Senate’s Big Bad Blunder

A few thoughts.  We’ve  now heard from a third woman who alleges that Brett Kavanaugh was a big drinker in high school and involved in a group of boys who gang raped women.

That is not going to give the GOP Senate majority pause from what I now understand. The GOP majority is rushing ahead to a vote to send his nomination to the full senate without regard to the reputation of the Supreme Court.

I’ve noted before that Kavanaugh’s failure to ask for a full investigation to exonerate himself so that he goes on the Supreme Court without this cloud hanging over he head is bothersome. In my experience that would be the first thing an innocent person would seek. Some have come up with reasons for him not to do it but none of them are substantial as far as I can see.

Kavanaugh claimed eleven times in his unprecedented interview that he wanted a fair process. The question is does he?

Kavanaugh has sat upon the Court of Appeals in the DC Circuit for 12 years. He certainly knows what a fair process is I would think. Imagine a case coming before him on appeal where the facts below showed a woman complainant said a man attacked her and attempted to take off her clothes.  The man testified in his own defense that he did no such thing. The woman making the allegation said another person was present during the attack. She wished that he would testify and the judge hearing the case said no. How is that a fair process when the one witness not party to the dispute who can tell what he observed happening is not called.

This though is not a trial but a more significant matter where the question is the fitness of a person for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land. Even more, I suggest, would that other person be needed to gain a good understanding of the matter. Now we have two more women who can testify to the character of the man who is seeking that job. Isn’t it necessary that they be heard or are interests of justice best served in not hearing any further negatives about the person in line for the appointment even though knowledge of these alleged wrongdoings are widespread throughout the land? How does hiding these matters serve the country?

The most odd thing about this proceeding is the way in which the senators on the committee have hired an outside female prosecutor to come in to examine the female witness. They obviously want her to do so in a way that will affect her credibility. Fearful of doing it themselves, they parcel out this to a prosecutor with over 20 years experience. I’m not so sure this will play out the way they intend.

This woman prosecutor will be cross-examining Dr. Ford. I wonder how many times she has had the experience of cross-examining a woman witness in a sex matter. Usually the woman is the victim and is not cross-examined by a prosecutor. I wonder how much experience she has had cross-examining people. Prosecutors without experience as defense counsel, which she does not have, are not very adept at that skill.

Defense lawyers who work at it daily are the best at it. The good ones like one of my brothers have it in their blood. They are skilled, whether male or female, at questioning female witnesses while keeping the sympathy of the jurors. I suggest the Senate Republicans have erred in bringing in a female prosecutor to go after Christine Blasey Ford. A female, or even male, criminal defense lawyer used to cross-examining women would be far superior.

We will know more in a couple of hours.

    HEY,……….” ‘YOUSE’-SA “…..DIDJA NOTICE ???

    DID YOU SEE THE OLD LADY, SO UPRIGHT …… SO FUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG HUMILIATED BEFORE THE WORLD , AS A SON, SHE AND DAD, SITTING LIKE A WHITE GHOST BESIDE HER, SPENT THEIR ENTIRE LIVES RAISING, HAD HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN RAPED ON THE SENATE COMMITTEE ROOM FLOOR AS HE WAS CONDEMNED FOR PUBLICLY FREAKING OUT ABOUT IT.

    YEAH, THE OLD LADY, AN ESTEEMED JUDGE, WAS SITTING IN JUDGEMENT !!!

    SEE THAT DEATH MASK FACE ???

    IT WAS A CURSE !!!

    WE ARE RIGHT HERE, YOUR HONOR .

  2. Oh, Elmer :

    IT’S ON !!!!!!!!!!!

    WHITE BOY JOHN !!!

    OOPS

    OLD WHITE BOY JOHNNY !!!!!!!!!

  3. Psychiatrists would diagnose her as a Hysterical Personality Disorder or Histrionic Personality Disorder . . . .her emotional I.Q. is childlike, and she takes the smallest of adverse incidences, the slightest of slights, and turns them into GIGANTIC HORRORS….
    it was horrible, the boy stole my cookie, type of hysteria . . . .the teenage boy tried to feel me up . . . .
    she lived a terribly sheltered, pampered, charmed, country club life (didn’t she have brothers or cousins or boys next door who rough-housed?). . . .

    to fit in with the I hate men, metoo, i’ve been wronged, victimology crowd, she “remembered the time” a teen boy groped a teen girl . . . which every teen boy worth his salt did . . . .and she recalls the horrid laughter of teen boys, mocking laughter, after they failed to get to first base . . .

    Again, THE HORROR . . . .of course, any normal girl would be terrified for the rest of her life, terrified especially of “claustrophobia”, of being isolated in a cabin or stall or library studying for a PhD and two other post-grad degrees . . . .terrified of flying for the rest of her life . . . .naturally, any normal 15 year old suffering that trauma could barely survive the groping, hand on mouth,, laughing (the worst part she said was the laughing.)

    the boys locked the door, she pushed them off and ran out, after all three had “tumbled” to the floor . . .she ran out and forgot to tell Congress about unlocking the locked door . . .and forgot to tell Congress she was a frequent flyer all her life . . .

    she said the Radio/RecordPlayer was turned up so loud in the upstairs bedroom that no one could hear her shouts, but in the locked bathroom, she heard the boys laughter going down the stairs . . .boys laughing, The Horror

    It gets worse . . . .she, of course, was always “The BEST”; so she must have been assaulted by “THE BEST” . . . let’s see who turns out well, why it’s Brett, I’ll remember in 2012, he was the guy . . . .and I’ll embellish the HORROR . . .and how I can’t fly but do fly frequently but only on vacation and only when I’m flying “in that direction”, west to Tahiti, or north to Maine . . .or other times when I fly frequently . . .Oh, I’m in frequent flyer’s clubs . . . .

    And she had no motive, except she hated everything that Kavanaugh stood for, and he turned out even better than Her with her PH.D. and 65 published papers, and he’s a CONSERVATIVE . . . .and I’ll show him and the world what a LEFTIST sniveling passive aggressive, Milqtoast, Mini-Mouse, hysterical histrionic Left Coast woman Academic can do . . . .Hell Hath NO Fury like a sniveling lying hysteric person who’ll “get even” with all who hurt her . . . . .

    THIS WAS THE WORST HORROR OF THIS WOMAN’S LIFE . . . .

    Judge Kavanaugh’s ten year old daughter was correct: We should pray for the woman . . . . . .and we should denounce the lawyers and politicians who manipulated and used her to get their pound of flesh, to kill a perceived political-philosophical-enemy. . . a good jurist . . . . .SCREW HIM, HIS FAMILY AND REPUTATION . . . .Villains . . . . .

    P.S. I always liked Shylock’s speech in the Merchant of Venice . . . . .”the villainy you teach me, I will execute; and it shall go harsh, but I will better the instruction.”

    I too now laugh at the liberal-leftists, their patently transparently biased media, the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, major MSM . . . .depraved villainous institutions . . . .their leftist cohorts in Congress . . . .two faced devious shams . . . . .
    character assassins!

    • yes, but this also – the surfer girl said a few times that “there were other qualified candidates on the list”

      hmmmmmmmmm

      Mitchell did an excellent job

      and now, the media idiots are accusing the nominee – to bring in Shakespeare – of “protesting too much”

      because he defended himself in the face of a massive, coordinated planned smear attack and character assassination, the ooze and shiite of which was spread not only by the Creepy Porno Gang but also by the media idiots

      such an attack is enough to piss off the Pope

      but the lefties, always handy with some sort of garbage, observe –

      “see, see – we told you all along that he does not have judicial demeanor, because he gave an impassioned defense of himself”

      no shame, no truth, no fairness, no nothing, no honor, no grace

      just a Creepy Porn Gang who will stoop to anything

    • Bill:

      This sounds rather sarcastic !!!

      Gyves : ALLEZ !!!

      THE INDELIBLE HIPPOCAMPUS RULES !

    • Bill:

      Just read that third time. Wanted to do the Inspector’s summation, but so pissed at what I saw with Brett Kavanaugh’s wife and parents in that room, that I went that way with it. Left it to you . Remember you did a good forensic on Todashev a few years ago . …. That was when we had that character … William C. … dourly surveying the blog !!!

  4. Let’s see – the surfer girl was terrified of almost getting inadvertently killed, she was terrified of everything and everyone afterwards, she was terrified to appear before the Creepy Porn Gang today, she was terrified of Kavanaugh becoming a justice, to the point of having to make a “cost-benefit calculation.”

    But she didn’t tell anyone about the incident when it happened.

    And she didn’t tell her parents, because she didn’t want them to find out about her going to a “gathering” where boys were drinking beer.

    Sound like she was terrified most of all of her parents.

    They must have been terrifying, considering that apparently they would ignore her almost getting inadvertently killed.

    Terrifying.

    • Elmer :

      Academic now, because Judge Cavanaugh wiped the Committee floor with these punks. What was elicited quite skilfully by Mother Mitchell and was a small mine laid, if needed, was that she cited her boutique terror as reason for the … Reverent hush ..,. extra outer door, a security against roving grown-up Brett , and then mentioned her claustrophobia. The claustrophobia, which she related to
      her trauma, was offered up as another reason for this highly unlikely double security portal, thirty five years on !!!

      She is a piece of work .

      SUPREME COURT JUSTICE BRETT ” THEY DID NOT BREAK ME ” CAVANAUGH !!!!!!!!!

      • A piece of work – very politely put.

        Lindsey Graham was – well, magnificent.

        Do you think the piece of work will move to New Zealand?

        • Lindsey was a diamond back rattler, that got aggravated on the wrong hot rock, on the wrong day, by the wrong Donkey !!!

          There is a certain style of old family southern gentleman, sartorially elegant, and often with a bantam chest and a fight that is in proportion to what is required in life from game roosters with bantam chests. If I may switch up the metaphor, Lindsey was a blue ribbon fighting cock .

          He glared. He strutted. He pecked. He crowed ….. Cock a doodle do you unbelievable sons of bitches, here’s blood in your eyes . He was a concentrated instrument of fury and the feathers were flying !!!

          He was SMOKING HOT !!!!!!!

          Lindsey, under the right circumstances, is easily capable of murder .

          We all are !!!

          When the anger is genuine !!!

          Lindsey’s did not appear feigned !!!!!!!

      • ★KAVANAUGH

  5. Matt
    I told the HBO 1st episode True Detective story
    in a previous post but it’s worth retelling
    for the uneducated and uneducable.
    In 1972 I replaced Andrew Vachss as Director
    of a community based correctional center
    operating out of the Old Cambridge Baptist
    Church in Harvard Square.

    We operated a halfway house for juvenile
    offenders in Central Square.
    Vachss moved on to run the secure treatment facility
    called Andros Unit at DYS where the hardest of the hard core
    juveniles were kept.
    His book Violent Lifestyle Juvenile Offender documents
    that experience.
    Soon after taking the Andros job Vachss entered the New
    England School of Law where he received his law degree.
    Vachss would marry one of his staff members at Andros
    who would also get her law degree and go on to fame as
    a sex crime prosecutor. Her name is Alice Vachss.
    She has written a text book on Sex Crime prosecution.

    Andrew Vachss would become a world famous lawyer
    and author who has devoted his life to ending sexual
    and physical abuse of children.

    see

    http://vachss.com/vachss/credentials.html

    At one point HBO was in negotiations with Vachss
    to turn his books into a detective series.
    The negotiations fell thru.
    As a homage to Vachss you see a copy of Alice Vachss’s
    book Sex Crimes on top of a pile of books sitting in the
    middle of the floor in Mathew McConaghey’s bare apt.

  6. Is it completely insensitive of me in this context to note that I would be happy to bang her ??? … She’s a healthy Cali surfer babe !!!!!!

    Who is lying her unitard bathing suit beneath her clothes like medieval armor ass off !!!!!!!

    Of course, I’d bang Mitchell too . She is as cute as a button . The Mother Superior who we all said …… THANKYOU MOTHER SUPERIOR, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER !!!!!! to over our shoulder.( Calm down, bill )

    Chrissy Blasie may not share our sentiments about Mother, by day’s end !!!!!!!!!!

    • You may be right about Mother – in fact, Corey Spartacus Booger is warning everyone that “this is not a court proceeding,” and pontificating and bloviating about how wonderful the surfer girl is, and how much she’s had to sacrifice, and trying to make societal changes about how to treat “survivors.”

      Again – I thought that “Survivors”, the BBC science fiction show, was canceled a few years ago.

      PS Yep, the victimhood/survivor underwear doesn’t quite cover up her lying.

  7. Right now, some of the media idiots are setting up a Dukakis situation.

    You’ll recall when Dukakis talked about the rape of his wife during his campaign – and apparently he wasn’t “fiery” enough.

    So they’re setting up another “fairness” standard – will Kavanaugh shout and scream enough for the liking of the media idiots?

  8. she didn’t go to the cops or tell anyone – not anyone – I repeat, not anyone – because “she didn’t want her parents to find out that she went to a gathering where boys were drinking beer.”

    Even though she was almost killed!!!!!!!!

    There is not a woman alive, with very few exceptions, who does not remember the details of an attack.

    Especially when they are almost killed!!!!!!

  9. she’s “not political” – people were giving her advice on the beach

    but she’s a Democrat with anti-Trump “credentials

    and she’s got a shyster, Debra Katz, who wears antifa t-shirts – and more

    but she’s not political

  10. ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, – “fairness”

    This is a political circus by a gang of Creepy Porn Demorats disguised as a Senate committee hearing.

    So far, the woman prosecutor (no doubt she will be characterized as some sort of Inquisition torturer) has done a very good job – even though not dramatic.

    And the surfer girl has put on her best little girl show, interspersed with lectures about the hippocampus and memory, and apologies for “not remembering” – except that it was Kavanaugh who put her through this ordeal where she had to make cost-benefit calculations!!!! as to coming forward.

    And the Creepy Porno Demorat gang has repeated, over and over, speeches, like a Greek chorus – “oh, Dr. Ford, you are so wonderful and credible.”

    Oh, and surfer girl has not 1, but 2 shysters – who are constantly whispering in her ear and coaching her.

    Bill C has it all covered in his comment.

    Puke. Real puke.

    • Get it right, Elmer !!!!!!!!!!

      ” THE INDELIBLE HIPPOCAMPUS ”

      Mitchell is crushing it !!!!!!

      Lotta inconsistencies .

      • I’m sorry, I did not have my class notes from the surfer girl prefesser in front of me.

        Yes – tons of inconsistencies and conveniently missing data. If she only had the grocery store records where Mark Judge worked, she could fill in one of the dates – like what year the “gathering” was.

        My apologies – I did not know that I would be going to a psychology class at the US Senate.

        She’s terrified of testifying, she’s terrified – still – of whatever happened 35 years ago, so terrified that she’s already made excuses for missing details.

        But not terrified enough, with the coaching of the Demo Creepy Porn Gang, to blame Kavanaugh – also with the helpful help of her shysters.

        Of course, the media idiots are assessing this based on soap opera standards.

        But I agree with you- Mitchell is crushing it.

        • Therapy notes from individual and marriage therapy and neither set includes Brett Cavanaugh’s name ?!?

          Mitchell, who is a top sex crimes prosecutor who apparently does have just the type of skills, awareness, personality, insight and experience that we would not expect any man, defense counsel or no, besides Matt of course, to have in conducting the examination of this witness .

          The Polygraph was taken at the airport,( remember our phobic air traveller; who Mitchell easily proved a massive fraud !!!) as she headed home from her Grandmother’s funeral ???

          Mitchell established that first she said there were FOUR in the room and later said it was TWO men, Cavanaugh and Judge . She further condescended, in her disarmingly vulnerable naif persona transmuted into the person who in obscurantist neurological mumbo jumbo gives us the benefit of her professorial wisdom , to inform us that therapists are more concerned with ” Process ” when someone says four boys instead of two , rather than getting that essential detail right in their notes.

          THAT DON’T PLAY, HOMIE !!!!!!!

          • IT SURE DON’T, HOMIE!

            And there are tons more of inconsistencies.

            But the Creepy Porn Gang is still beating the drum of “failure to provide documents,” and “Kavanaugh is not credible.”

            He might possibly overrule Roe v Wade, all by his lonesome, so he must have been a serial gang rapist.

          • Again – IT SURE DON’T PLAY, HOMIE!

            But the media idiots are looking for “bombshells,” and “powerful sound bites” – not truth or facts.

            And the Creepy Porn Gang is still mucking around in the septic tank with the media idiots in order to provide the “bombshells” and “powerful sound bites”.

            Fairness – ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!

            Truth – oh, man, I just sprayed coffee through my nose!!!!!!!!

  11. I agree, Matt. Since the GOP is worried about optics, it had to be a female attorney. A skilled female defense lawyer would have been a better choice. Trump would have been better served by choosing a judge with slightly humbler roots.

  12. Matt wants “a fair process.” So, after all the hearings are over, some women who’ve never told anyone anything for 30 plus years . . . oh Leftist women, pro-Choice, pro-Bernie Saunders liberal women, Pussy Marchers . . . .suddenly come forward, and point guilty fingers . . . ..

    I recommend reading Rabbi Dov Fischer and the other great writers on the American Spectator website to get insights into the MenToo#, Movement. Men should be believed,too. Ms. Ford I.D.s the wrong man. The other two women are simply wildly off base, if not off their rockers.

    What’s happening to Judge Kavanaugh is standardized liberal-leftist cant, character assassination . . .Duke Lacrosse all over again.

    How many other good men will the Liberal_Leftists Pols and Mendacious Media-ites, a Modernized Mafiosa-ish Mediosa (Yellow Dog Curs, Smear Artists, in print, on airwaves) try to destroy with with their mud slinging. They wallow in it!

    MenToo# matter.

    P.S. My last post raised the U2# or Youtoo# issue, and now let the Purge begin of all women who’ve misused their sexual powers on anyone two or more years younger at anytime during their lives. Start with the Congresswomen, Federal Workers, State Officials, all public sector women who’ve tripped up over the years must be investigated by the FBI/and or State/local Officials, and forfeit their pay, lose their jobs and lose their pensions. It’s only fair.

    Wetoo# Movement’s Moto: It takes two to Tango, and when someone doesn’t want to Tango, ask someone else.

    Yes, I mock the accusers, the media and the whole rotten process . . . .”Three women have come forward . . .” Well, stop the wheels of progress!!!!! Whenever three women or three men “come forward” that should warrant SOMETHING . . .
