Brett Kavanaugh Should be Impeached

[Rukh]

Yup. Two broken families on opposite side while we all know that a vote is still going to happen.

Nerd rage.

Meanwhile this man shows he loves his family and country!

And is worried he's going to face consequences for his repeated sexual assaults.

[Mafic]

Here come the facts.

Popcorn time!

[mvaliz]

Fuck you and your bullshit tears kravenaugh!!!! Play to the facts, not to the fucking emotions - that's the whole POINT of being a damn SC Judge.

[cubby]

He just talked about how this is revenge for the Clintons. He's a partisan operative through and through.

Did he say that out loud? Really?

[Shadowmelded]

Oh jesus christ... this guy is pulling out the fucking John Boener crocodile tears tactic!? FUCK HIM! >_<

I don't know, the emotion seems genuine despite the partisan rhetoric that preceded it.

[Mafic]

Tears of real patriotism.

God Bless this man!

[mvaliz]

"Six separate fu...... times!"

Mask nearly slipped there!

[szechuan]

Republicans should be asking for it aggressively it will allow them to completely whitewash the accusation.

It wouldn't matter if Kavanaugh was Convicted or not right now. Trump would just Pardon him.

[Endus]

And now, he's talking about scrutiny he's received in the past, as if that's a defense of anything.

"I couldn't possibly be guilty of this, because I've gotten away with it for so long" is not a fucking defense, you bloviating assclown of a human being.

Edit: It also bears mentioning as a complete tangent that, here in Canada, we had a Colonel in the Armed Forces, commander of our largest air force base, get found out to be a serial killer. He was also happily married and his wife defended him to the press until the evidence piled upon beyond refutation. Just having a high position of authority which warranted heavy scrutiny and security check proceedings isn't a fucking defense against having committed crimes.

[JohnBrown1917]

His wife crying in the back says a lot. Those are real tears.

I fail to see the relevance.

[Realitytrembles]

You're setting the bar in an unreasonable position.

#1 This isn't a criminal case. He isn't facing punishment. The question is does he deserve a lifetime appointment with his values and ethics?

If at this point you don't believe he was a frat bro with serious drinking problems and no respect for women then you're never going to believe it.

It's unreasonable to expect a person to provide evidence to back up serious claims? What is this, opposite land?

I don't believe anything. I also don't know anything for sure about his personal life. Because I've seen no proof.

[Deleted]

Anyone, anyone who can read a person even a little bit, can see right through this piece of shit.

[Mafic]

Thoroughly vetted via FBI for DC circuit judge.

Checkmate!

An FBI investigation to circumstances like this wouldn't be held to criminal court standards of evidence in the first place, since the statute of limitations on these potential crimes has already passed. Pressing charges would be off the table before the investigation even began. The investigation is to uncover the facts, to as great a degree as can be achieved.

They don't need to meet criminal court standards of evidence on this at all ("beyond a reasonable doubt"). "He more likely did it than didn't" is plenty.

It's my understanding that criminal sexual assault has not SoL in MD or NJ.

It's ironic, from the people who still insist Clinton is guilty and one more investigation will get her.

They haven't. There are no statute of limitations in maryland for most felonies. Neither rape nor attempted rape have statutes of limitation. The FBI wouldn't be the one pressing charges and we would likely not end up having enough evidence for a conviction. SC confirmation and conviction (or impeachment) should have two very different levels of proof.

He was already scrutinized as part of the process and was cleared! Thanks for not listening what he is saying!

Hey man, I still got that offer for a bridge open.

[Bullettime]

The best part is you could see the cracks showing in Rachel Mitchell where she visibly believed Ford.

Mitchell is a prosecutor who worked extensively with sex crime victims and prosecuting sex crimes over her career.

He could be genuinely worried about his future. Of course...there's the why he's worried. But I guess a grown man crying -- typically considered a sign of weakness -- does have some merits.
