The visceral reaction of the men on here who treat these allegations as if they were accused themselves. The idea of repercussions has literally broke these men's brains. In one sentence they scream "why didn't she say anything sooner!" and in they next call her a lying whore. Yeah no shit she asked Feinstein to not go forward unless she had to... because of people like them call for her murder. What we've been witnessing with the GOP Senate is the ivy league, conservatives ruling class ripping the mask off. Ford nor any other women are going to change these old mens' minds. The only thing they care about is control. Not judicial temperament, not impartiality, not blatant lies under oath, not even credible sexual assault claims. They care about control and are willing to traumatize thousands of women to get it by saying "we don't care about your sexual assault." But the men on here? They are not the ivy league ruling class. Why are they reacting so violently angry? What triggers them? I'll let the inevitable angry men in the comments answer that. It's really interesting how over 2/3rds polled on blind said they believe Ford or supported an investigation but if you were to judge by the comments you'd believe everyone here is a trump supporter. These past two weeks have really brought out the right wing trolls on here and the silent majority just seems to be laying low.
I’m Ivy League ruling class....
It also distracts from the fact that he's simply unfit to serve, even if his history was clean.
I would argue that Sotomayor is the one who is unfit
How do you figure?
Yeah well. This is bit like saying you cannot accuse this guy of murder because I know a guy accused of murder and he was innocent. If he is innocent it should be possible to find that out but so far Kev has lied so much about so many things, who would want him on the Supreme Court? If a Democrat appointee would have done that they would have cried bloody murder. And don’t get me started on that misogynistic Lindsay Graham. Just for his closing remarks on the vote he should be run out of town.
Still unfit, he accused the whole left of coordinating this. Majority of the left are just reacting to the accusations. Not participating or coordinating. It’s individual women, maybe delusional by the fact that roe v wade might get overturned. But he went after “the left”. Hes unfit to be scotus.
Someone who wants to be on the highest court and hasn’t done anything wrong would have fully supported fbi investigation himself. I will only be scared if I did something bad else I would say go find whatever the hell you want to as there isn’t anything. Yelling, getting angry is not defending but pleasing someone to secure the spot. Civility is rare now in court nominees too?
What about someone who is being accused of rape and having his life torn apart? He isn’t allowed to be angry about that?
He can be angry. But his temperament, combined with his lies about his character make him unfit to serve on the supreme Court.
It’s all a sham Even if they tomorrow FBI clears him no Democrat is going to vote for him. So what is the point of all this
So how many sexual abuse allegations did Neil Gorusch face when he was selected? Zero. .. There is clearly something here with this Kavanaugh guy
Yeah, he is a constitutionalist... the left can’t have that in the Supreme Court... he may overturn Wade v Roe...
However there is clear data that the "constitutionalist" cease being constitutionalist when that would require ruling against a conservative sacred cow. Look at all the creative ways the "constitutionalists" have been activist in getting around the prohibition on mingling church and state, etc.
Why should I even care about allegations from decades ago? I care if he can do his job.
Do you understand what that says to women? It's saying "your sexual assault doesn't matter to me." Its saying I'm willing to overlook the suffering of millions of women because I want this guy on the supreme court.
Literally nobody is saying that.
A man defending himself against an alleged rape is now sexist and any man who is even a bit skeptical is also a sexist bro. Go fuck yourself. Why should anybody take her side automatically?
It seems to me that the right is taking his side automatically and the rest of the country just wants to find out if these allegations are true before putting him on the highest court of the land.
And the left hers. There's no credible reason to believe her right now with absolutely no evidence. If anyone who should be given the benefit of doubt, it's the accused because we live in a land where we're innocent until proven guilty. They have ordered for the FBI to investigate. Let's see what comes out of it. It's not about left and right. Both parties have been at fault. The only ones who aren't getting a fair trail are both the accuser and the accused.
Damn, this country has the same shit ; that I was trying to escape from when I immigrated. If this continues ; people ain't gonna see USA with the Rosy lenses that they used to. You can practically feel the us society collapsing. USA of 2018 is nothing like the USA of 1998. USA get ready to hand over your crown to someone else. PS :- well done Vlad 👌
After Afghanistan and Iraq we were able to slightly rehabilitate our image as a country representing freedom, democracy, good intentions -- but that is out the door. We deserve it. Think of how many countries we've interfered with and staged coups over the last 70 years. We no longer represent liberal values to the world, we represent racism, imperialism, and privilege. There was a time when you could be proud of being an American but those times are long gone.

Why do you think NRA has been winning over gun control people, NRA people show up in DC, 100s of them, and gun control people, even when they are millions, just lay low when kids are getting killed in school and terrorists and people with mental illnesses are able to obtain weapons.
You don't think the conservative judges are activists rewriting the Constitution when they claim there is a right to bear arms? That's not what the text actually says, it really talks about the rights of States to raise militias and some activist conservative judges rewrote it to be an individual right.
