It would be lying to expect proof, hell even one day old rapes can't be proven a lot of the time. Besides I read he already got investigated a lot because of his nomination. And finally, why so many people are considering him to be guilty? -3 accusers -claiming to be a perfect boy when there is numerous statements from class mates how he partied and drank. -Having a list of 65 women to confirm your character way to fast to have done after the allegations became public. -Ford telling her Therapist 6 years ago. And probably more that I am not thinking of right now. | ||

It would be inhuman to not react this way. IMO Kavanaugh is just as credible as Ford. I said before that Ford should be heard out, and I think this hearing has accomplished that, especially with the outside counsel questioning Kavanaugh. At this point, you can't put the burden of proof on Kavanaugh, and I'm not sure the evidence is strong enough. A barebones allegation just isn't enough. The best system available is one that minimizes false convictions, and that is why the burden is not on Kavanaugh. True, it's not a court of law, but the principle underlying the burden of proof is simple fairness. I don't think the allegations are grounds to sink Kavanaugh at this point (revenge for Garland is another matter, but that would have to be separate from these allegations). | ||

1. Given the dozens of times he's dodged the question, BK clearly doesn't want an FBI investigation. 2. Lindsey Graham has lost his mind. | ||

Yeah, that makes sense, I really shouldn't be letting my personal bias against the Republicans influence my thinking on this | ||

The only problem here is a political one. Trying to make him judge before the "deadline" | ||
