Dersh, what the hell are you doing?

Oh, that's right...at the end of the day no matter how many of you guys like the man, he's STILL a Goddamn Communist Democrat.

JUST IN: Sen. Booker walks out of cmte. meeting in protest: "I cannot participate in what I know history is going to look back as a dark moment again, in the same way as” the Anita Hill hearings.

Yeah, history looks back on the Clarence Thomas hearings as a "dark moment," all right, but not in the way you believe.

So when he's doing something we like, such as defending Trump, we like him, but when he's saying something we don't like, he's a GDC?

Can't have it both ways.

His point is valid. If I thought for a New York Heartbeat Democrats could be trusted to act in good faith I'd agree with him, despite the fact I'm thoroughly convinced there's nothing for such an investigation to find.

But they have proven, time-and-again, they cannot be trusted. Therefor, while I agree with him in principle, I do not from a practical perspective.

Don't understand Dershowitz saying that. I understand from what Tillis and Grassley said that the Judiciary Committee has its own investigators who are quite capable, and have jurisdiction, to investigate such accusations.

count down to the gnashing of teeth.

He's been saying that since the very beginning of all this.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. What would be the likelihood of the police opening such a case without a complainant coming to them? Not being snarky, truly curious.

Not very likely.

"The police department that has jurisdiction over the area where Christine Blasey Ford claims Judge Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her says it has not opened an investigation into the matter because Ford has not requested one, among other reasons.

The Montgomery County Police Department says it stands by its “victim-centered” approach to launching investigations, despite Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan’s call Thursday for a full investigation of Ford’s allegations and a Wednesday letter from 11 Democratic Maryland state lawmakers with a similar request.

A police department statement in effect as of Thursday explains its position, reported The Washington Post.

“At this time, the Montgomery County Police Department has not received a request by any alleged victim nor a victim’s attorney to initiate a police report or a criminal investigation regarding Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The department recognizes that victims of sexual assault may not want to involve law enforcement and/or initiate a criminal investigation, and we respect that position. The department, however, stands prepared to assist anyone who reports being the victim of a sexual assault.

Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault executive director Lisae C. Jordan pointed out that an investigation into Blasey Ford’s claims would be legally tricky because attempted rape was not a felony without a statute of limitations in Maryland when she claimed the assault happened, according to the WaPo.

“Maryland laws on sex crimes have evolved significantly since the early 1980s,” Jordan told WaPo. “In 1982, there was little awareness of the impact of sexual violence, assaults that did not involve vaginal intercourse were not even considered sex crimes, and many viewed sexual assaults by acquaintances as inconsequential. It’s astounding that any woman ever reported rape.”

Attempted rape was classified as a misdemeanor with a one-year statute of limitations in the state before 1996, according to WaPo."

Im just glad a specialist for sexual assaults said she didnt have enough to even bring this to court. Almost... almost as if it didnt happen. Speaking from someone who knows a victim of sexual assault, ya dont wait 35 years. She said 5 wouldve been the limit

I noticed Cruz isn't there. Maybe when Cornyn was whispering something to Grassley, it had something to do with it?

Don’t like this delay.

Don’t like seeing Flake in a circle with the Dems

There's some horse trading going on. And it seems to have everything to do with Flake. Him and his good friend Coons had a little chat just a little while ago.

Yeah, what's going on?

Flake has been corralled by the dems. This delay is unnerving.

BBC News:

“Backlash against Canadian columnist
A Canadian newspaper is facing criticism for an opinion piece that describes the Kavanaugh hearings as a "contemporary equivalent of the Salem witch trials".

The piece, by Calgary Herald columnist Naomi Lakritz, also suggests that whatever Kavanaugh's actions were in high school, they are irrelevant now given the time that has passed.

"The Kavanaugh case should strike fear into the hearts of all men because it means that no matter how sterling a reputation you have in your adult life and career, something dumb you may or may not have been involved with in high school can forever come back to haunt you," she wrote.

The column prompted two city councillors to say they would refuse interviews with the paper until its editorial board recognises the "the gravity of their decision to minimise the impact of high school sexual assault". …”

Re: ‘until its editorial board recognises the "the gravity of their decision to minimise the impact of high school sexual assault".’ Yeah, right. Morons.

Flake speaking now. He's turning.

Screw him....go forward anyway He loves the attention that piece of trash.

Flake has flaked.

Flake is flaking now.

Flake did vote Aye, what a freaking shit show.
