No, it's true. Nobody these people have identified by name as bearing witness has any recollection of the event ever occurring. They are o-fer on corroborating witnesses.

I mean:

Quote
A classmate of Ramirez’s, who declined to be identified because of the partisan battle over Kavanaugh’s nomination, said that another student told him about the incident either on the night of the party or in the next day or two. The classmate said that he is “one-hundred-per-cent sure” that he was told at the time that Kavanaugh was the student who exposed himself to Ramirez. He independently recalled many of the same details offered by Ramirez, including that a male student had encouraged Kavanaugh as he exposed himself. The classmate, like Ramirez, recalled that the party took place in a common room on the first floor in Entryway B of Lawrance Hall, during their freshman year. “I’ve known this all along,” he said. “It’s been on my mind all these years when his name came up. It was a big deal.”

Sure it's an anonymous source, but I don't think that's reason to just completely dismiss it at this point.  Of course, good for the New Yorker for being willing to publish all the accounts contradicting this story (although the author on NPR this morning seemed careful not to mention them in her synopsis of the story).

The court is what Republicans value the most tho (I think cause activist judges hate abortion). Short term sacrifice for long term no babykillin'.

they're not going to nominate some libtard when they pull kavanaugh.  the replacement will rule the same way on every case.

And you will support Democrats doing everything they can to obstruct confirmation of that nominee.

i support them fighting kavanaugh because it advantages democrats in the midterms.  that's a win.  fighting a more popular nominee would be a loss.

That's not what you said last time with Gorsuch :dunno:

Seems like a highly respects judge-guy.

that's really irrelevant, phil.  they have to disincentivize maneuvers like that of blocking garland.

And speaking of political ramifications of fighting a popular SCOTUS nominee:

I gotta say, the more Democrats fight this, I think the better it is for Trump.

I'd love to see this explanation

yeah, that's Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

Americans cherish fairness.  Once they understand how unfair the dump Kavanaugh zealots are, they will unleash their ire on Democrats.

yep, i thought they should have taken a righteous position on gorsuch to highlight the garland travesty.  it's possible i was wrong about that, but it was my thought at the time.

you'll notice i didn't post anything about fighting kavanaugh until he was already a sinking ship.

I think not attending rape parties is probably a lesson worth learning.

Given this reality, it's weird that we still use humans at all for the supreme court.

Yeah, even if these allegations are completely fabricated, a reduction in the number of prep school rape parties would be a net positive for society.

Yes of course, I will grant that if there is any reason to deny a republican nominee other than "blood for blood" you are going to go with that.

Most likely just rapists who want to repeal Roe v Wade.

I don't know, I think he's more worried about protecting men possibly falsely accused of rape than he wants to stop women from having abortions.

i don't know what i've mine you've posted.

if you're asking why i don't believe that you are impartial it's because as soon as a woman discusses her memories of kav, you're all "actually, false memories are surprisingly common, ..."  but you've not mentioned so much as a caveat as to the likelihood that a perpetually drunk man would recall any of his specific drunken escapades 30 years later and what that suggests regarding the credibility of kav's denials.  and because when anyone mentions his frequent lies, you jump in with "actually, it's surprisingly difficult to convict of perjury, ..."  and most of all because you argue that it is appropriate to prevent investigation of the women's allegations by nonpartisan, professional investigators.
