    Anyone else see the New Economist/YouGov poll? There's one result that is especially disgusting to me. The question is: If it were proven that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted a woman when they were both high school students 36 years ago, do you think that does or does not disqualify Kavanaugh from being a Supreme Court Justice?

    The results for Republicans were:
    Disqualifies Kavanaugh - 27%
    Does not disqualify Kavanaugh - 55%
    Not sure - 18%

    Wow.

    This rings quite hollow. Graham and Kavanaugh both threw temper tantrums during the hearings.

    That's why the White House has ordered that the FBI not interview her. A government cover-up in plain sight.

    So the boys from that prep school roamed maryland gang raping any girl they could trick into getting drunk? The story reads like a "recovered" memory.

    That's not what she said. She said the boys would spike the punch with grain alcohol or drugs and then run a train on girls who drank too much or were incapacitated. If you think that's hard to believe, here are some accounts that lend credence to what she said:
    The Kavanaugh Allegations Are Upsettingly Similar to What I Saw at D.C.’s Prep School Parties in the ’80s
    Every June, we had Beach Week—a tradition also described in a Washington Post piece about Ford—in which teenagers actually rent houses to party at the beach, something I still don’t quite comprehend. I distinctly remember being at a Beach Week party with my then-boyfriend when it dawned on us that there was a drunk girl in a room down the hall, and boys were “lining up” to go in there and, presumably, have their way with her. We didn’t know for sure, but my boyfriend and my friend’s boyfriend went to interrupt it and sent her on her way down the stairs. All I remember about her is that she was in the class above us and had dark hair. My friend has told me she remembers boys saying, “I’m next,” which was why our boyfriends went to stop it. That was the only time I can clearly remember a situation that was so obviously a “lineup,” as it was referred to by some at school. My friend remembers witnessing another, and though there weren’t lineups of this nature at every party, they happened often enough that we had a term. We didn’t call it rape.

    Senate Democrats Investigate a New Allegation of Sexual Misconduct, from the Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s College Years
    After seeing Judge’s denial, Elizabeth Rasor, who met Judge at Catholic University and was in a relationship with him for about three years, said that she felt morally obligated to challenge his account that “ ‘no horseplay’ took place at Georgetown Prep with women.” Rasor stressed that “under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t reveal information that was told in confidence,” but, she said, “I can’t stand by and watch him lie.” In an interview with The New Yorker, she said, “Mark told me a very different story.” Rasor recalled that Judge had told her ashamedly of an incident that involved him and other boys taking turns having sex with a drunk woman. Rasor said that Judge seemed to regard it as fully consensual. She said that Judge did not name others involved in the incident, and she has no knowledge that Kavanaugh participated. But Rasor was disturbed by the story and noted that it undercut Judge’s protestations about the sexual innocence of Georgetown Prep. (Barbara Van Gelder, an attorney for Judge, said that he “categorically denies” the account related by Rasor. Van Gelder said that Judge had no further comment.)

    Another woman who attended high school in the nineteen-eighties in Montgomery County, Maryland, where Georgetown Prep is located, also refuted Judge’s account of the social scene at the time, sending a letter to Ford’s lawyers saying that she had witnessed boys at parties that included Georgetown Prep students engaging in sexual misconduct. In an interview, the woman, who asked to have her name withheld for fear of political retribution, recalled that male students “would get a female student blind drunk” on what they called “jungle juice”—grain alcohol mixed with Hawaiian Punch—then try to take advantage of her. “It was disgusting,” she said. “They treated women like meat.”

    We already know, it all started with the left
    There a good people on both sides. ;)
    I think you forgot to answer the question that CaptUSMCNole asked, I'm sure it was by mistake. So I reposted it for you
    So you have experience at the federal agency level? It’s a yes or no.

    You and our Nole friend should read my previous post again:
    It's quite clear.

    You say a recovered memory, I say something that is ubiquitous around the country in hs and on college campuses. Sexual behavior that is either criminally violent or criminal because consent cannot be given due to intoxication is nearly as common as alcohol and drug use itself.

    You don't answer to me, and I don't answer to you. I have my reasons for not saying more, so that's the best you'll get.
