And if you truly believe anyone would ever be charged with perjury over that, you’re a horrible lawyer. I’m not trying to insult you. I’m just being honest. Nobody would ever be charged with perjury over that. As I have said before, if you truly have the time to spend here debating something you should know full well would never bring perjury charges, you are not very good at what you claim to do.
Interesting bit of history here: Why the White House might rush to swear Kavanaugh in before new allegations can emerge
When 54% of Republicans think a man guilty of sexual assault should still be confirmed to the Supreme Court, maybe you can understand how some would see that as putting party over country. NPR PBS-NewsHour Marist Poll
You are trying to insult me. It's not the first time you've tried to insult me. You have a habit of acting petulant when you realize that you are cornered. Your little strawman argument here is a great example of that. Here are the posts that led up to mine: He has no fear of being charged with perjury. The Republicans control the judiciary. It would be incredibly difficult to get a perjury conviction based on those statements, but it doesn't change the facts here. He was dishonest while under oath. That is disqualifying for a SCOTUS Justice. Funny how you couldn't offer a real defense of the comments he made on the record. I am very, very good at what I "claim" to do. That's what allows me to have so much control over my time.
If you're not conceding that he lied, dignify us all with your wisdom. The fact that you can't offer a defense here speaks volumes.
While I am sure you don't mean to, and appreciate you claiming you don't think it should really happen, the overall gist of your post insults sexual assault victims everywhere, and women generally, by trying to claim this is just a political attack on a man and political attacks should be waged on women in retaliation... even though these women claiming assaults have already been attacked both wrt their sexual history and with death threats in the case of Ford. And as was mentioned long ago in this thread, Gorsuch went to the same school as Kavanaugh and had no such accusations against him. If this was just political theater we'd have seen it there, too. Peace.
Not to mention a competent lawyer could easily argue he was being truthful with those statements about the affidavits. If a witness simply cannot remember something happening, it's as good as it didn't happen, because the witness is there to testify what he or she witnessed in the first place. And I realize this wasn't a trial, but instead a job interview where anything goes (apparently), but most of these politicians are lawyers too. Besides Kav wasn't fooling anyone, as everyone and their brother have read the affidavits.
And a separate competent lawyer will crush those arguments by pointing out that he's a federal judge up for SCOTUS and a highly successful lawyer who was well aware of what the affidavits said (since he quoted them almost verbatim during his testimony at certain points). Kavanaugh knew what he was doing. I agree that he wasn't fooling the Senators. He was trying to fool the American people.
Oh yeah, this is a job interview alright. He planned a keg party, off with his head! On Kavanaugh, New York Times Moves From Ice Tossing to Keg Party Planning Not even The Onion could come up with this stuff. CORRUPTION RULES!!!!!
White House has received the FBI’s supplemental reports, and they will be available for Senators and limited staff to review tomorrow morning. Question now is likely whether McConnell files for cloture today or tomorrow. Filing today would put a cloture vote on Friday and a confirmation vote Saturday, filing tomorrow would put the cloture vote Saturday and a confirmation vote Sunday. Could still file tonight if he wanted to, as the Senate is at least nominally being held in session.
