who tried to destroy a decent and honourable man.
This is one of the replies I remember.We all do stupid things as teenagers, but for a Supreme Court judge there has to be high standards.
This is one of the replies I remember.
If you are going to set standards to be accused by, then at least be consistent:
I don't believe in Biden being guilty with no evidence/trial. I think he is a creeper off past videos. There is definitely something with him invading personal spaces.Pity you didn't remember my comments at post 13.
If he was going to VP, Obama's staff would have vetted Biden intensely to see if there was anything embarrassing in his past. Obviously they found nothing.
Why these allegations come up now is a matter of suspicion in my view.
Anyway, that's another thread. The US is another country and I don't have a lot of interest either way, but as a principle which could be applied here it seems another case of guilt by accusation, a tactic which didn't stand up (eventually) in a certain high profile case in this country.
PS I don't think you are being particularly consistent yourself if you defended Kavanaugh but demonise Biden for essentially the same matter.

But I'm not the one that ran my mouth saying we should accuse someone without evidence.
Dems should apply their standards to themselves.

"..Put aside Christine Blasey Ford's emotional performance. Her testimony revealed her as a witness whose memories change at her convenience.
...Ford’s testimony is completely devoid of credibility:..Ford’s allegations do not even meet the preponderance of evidence standard.
Yes, victims must be believed. But Ford is not a victim — at least not of Kavanaugh."

I stand in the same place as always. Take it to court. I don't believe either side accused or victim. But they have the utmost right to seek justice. If they had track form that's a different story. But there's a hundred reasons people get accused. And I want at least a minimal amount of evidence before accusing someone.Mo where were you went this come up
"At least 17 women have accused Donald Trump of varying inappropriate behavior, including allegations of sexual harassment or sexual assault, all but one coming forward with their accusations before or during his bid for the White House.
The latest accusation came days ago from writer E. Jean Carroll, more than two years into Trump’s presidency, prompting a new denial from Trump."

BTW I have no doubt Biden did it same as Trump and Kavanaugh difference being Kavanaugh should have been kicked out no room in the highest courts for doubt.
There was no evidence, or evidence that they even met. Pretty sure her father and friends disputed fords story.It's interesting to see that Donald Trump himself said that Brett Kavanagh owed his Supreme Court position because of his support.

Group of senators say letter from Chris Wray shows the FBI gathered more than 4,500 tips without any apparent further action
..Then-president Donald Trump selected Kavanaugh as his nominee for the supreme court and refused to turn to an alternative choice when Kavanaugh became engulfed in the scandal of Blasey Ford’s allegations.
One of the new books out on Trump this summer, Landslide by Michael Wolff, claims that Trump later said Kavanaugh was “totally disgraced” by the sexual assault allegations levelled against him during the heated confirmation hearings in 2018 and would have been rejected by the Senate had Trump not defended him.
Wolff writes that Trump said of the judge: “I saved his life. He wouldn’t even be in a law firm. Who would have had him? Nobody. Totally disgraced. Only I saved him.”
