Report: Kavanaugh accuser’s lawyer trying to impose “serious conditions” on her testimony
Hot Air ^ | September 18, 2018

Posted on 09/18/2018 3:38:53 PM PDT by detective

No idea what this means. Presumably she wants the GOP to agree not to question Christine Blasey Ford about her personal background, e.g., sexual habits, drinking habits, and so forth, such that the hearing ends up with Ford being dragged through the mud.

I’m in the minority among the commentariat, though, in believing that it’s unlikely they’ll do that anyway. The optics of the hearing are already so terrible for Republicans, and the damage among women voters already so potentially grave, that they’ll be respectful of Ford out of self-interest if nothing else. Barring an unlikely meltdown of credibility at the hearing by Ford, it’s already a no-win situation for Republicans. Why make it worse by putting her through the wringer?

If it’s another allegation with no proof like this one I think the nomination is still in fine shape.

I'm just wargaming, but now that the nomination is delayed I keep thinking, "What would Saul Alinsky do"? Nothing is beneath the 'rats.

If this woman appears the Republicans should every woman - all couple of dozen of them - of the women that accused Bill Clinton of raping or attempting to rape them in the gallery.

Make the demondogs confront their hypocrisy, perfidy and duplicity. Make it a condition of believing Kavanaugh’s accuser that they immediately admit they covered up the crimes of the Billerys. If they will not denounce the Billarys then everything they say is a lie

Take it a step farther. One of the Senators in the room who isn’t on the list should out every one of the members of Congress who used the slush fund to make their sexual assaults go away. I’m betting that 8 of 10 will be Democrats. Make the list public. Simply say if Kavanaugh is not qualified for something that happened 40 years ago then every member of Congress who’s done the same thing should be forced to resign

Lastly demand Difi be investigated over her Chinese spy.

This is the typical Dem playbook. They think they should be able to make any accusation and that the accuser should be believed regardless of how many facts don’t add up or how many times their story changes. AND, that the accused should not be able to defend himself or herself. You see that all the time regarding sexual assault/harassment accusations, especially on campus.

OMG Republicans need to go full bore negative on her. EVERYONE KNOWS that this is made up crap. EVERYONE that is voting for them or will vote for them KNOWS it. IF they go full bore negative on her I can guarantee they’ll get a standing O from every republican AND undecided out there. The only ones they won’t impress is leftists who are going to advance the notion that republicans hate women NO MATTER WHAT. They will NEVER make them happy.

I’m sorry, but the protestors, and the “resist” movement, and all of the rest of the Democratic Party of late has sounded like nothing more than some narrative out of the worst of the Disney movies (only with violence, porn, and cursing). You know what I mean? It’s like Cruella DeVille ran for president, won, and now it is up to a scappy band of children, puppies, and assorted vegan no-kill shelter workers to save the day.

If there were only five or six people at the party, as she claims, and if she was sexually attacked, it seems virtually inconceivable that she wouldn’t remember where the party was held, but she says she doesn’t remember.

I’ll go ahead and show my age...I never heard anyone in high school talk about sneaking, lying, misbehaving, drinking, and over all participating in unacceptable behavior. I’m not saying probably some weren’t guilty of misbehavior of one kind or the other but they certainly weren’t going to broadcast it around the school. I came from a small farming community and everyone knew everyone else and word spread quickly if someone stepped over the line. I realize this was a different community talked about here than the one where I and my siblings grew up but there were guidelines we had to follow or suffer the consequences. We chose not to push it!! I remember the quandary of having to room with two girls on our senior class trip who were known to SMOKE and that made me and my closest friend uncomfortable but we survived.

> Republicans will need to be respectful of Ford in their questioning but Democrats will need to be disrespectful of Kavanaugh in theirs.

We are at war, and our generals are quislings who know we can't fire them all.

So what CAN they ask Christine Blowsy?

“Why did they call you “Choo-choo”?

“Have you ever been called ‘Vaseline Christine’”?

Is she a drunken slut (oops, can't say that) whose memory is impaired too much to be able to memorize the evasive answers.

No problem. The lawyers on the gop side just need to do the smooth defense lawyer act, A good defense attorney could tear this chick’s story apart without her even knowing it was happening. There is no reason for someone to blunder in after her with bullying tactics. Hopefully the gops will have at least a modicum of common sense.

Questions for her:

1. At this party YOU were at and which Mr. Kavenaugh was NOT at, according to him, were you drinking as well as they boys that were with you in the bedroom?
2. How often did you go to drinking parties with teenage boys?
3. Did any other teenage boys ever feel you up?
4. After you were laying on the bed with the drunk high school boys at this drinking party did you go right home?
5. Judge Kavenaugh swears under oath that he wasn't there. Let's say he's telling the truth and you're making a mistake. Who else MIGHT it have been that was messing around with you?
6. Did you ever have a boyfriend in high school?
7. (if answer is yes) Did he ever touch you in a sexual way or say anything sexually suggestive WITHOUT your express permission to do so?
8. (if no) Are you a lesbian?

"she would've gone with a friend at that age"

This was the 1980's, not the 1950's.

Sure why should it matter that she is a lying drunk? You can’t make this nonsense up. Who the hell is she to stop you from asking her any questions?Mark What about her erased social media? This is absolutely ridiculous and unfair.

Women are delicate though and since most of them vote democrat, they have special needs and should be given government special rights in courts of law.
