    It isn't about whether something else he said renders anything moot, it's that he lied.

    The guy lied over and over. Whether or not he actually boofed, that doesn't change what "boofing" means. He lied. He lied over and over again. He hans't been honest.

    No.... You are hell bent on believing those were lies. You have to because that's all you have left. It's sad man.

    My opinion has very, very little to do with the allegations against him. He had already proven himself unfit for the Court before the hearings last week, watching him attempt to defend himself just cemented it.

    Easy, Dr Ford's female friend that was allegedly there. She said that she wasn't at a party like that, she didn't know Brett Kavanaugh, and was never at a party with him at any point ever.

    So will you stop embarrassing yourself now?

    No, it's because he has been proven to have lied. There is email contradiction of the statements he made. That's called lying.

    And yet that opinion makes no difference whatsoever, he'll still be on the SCOTUS bench for 30 years or so most likely.

    Can you quote where Leland Keiser said that she was never at the party?

    Thanks.

    "Simply put, Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh, and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford"

    That says that she was never at a 6 person party with Kavanaugh. I know, I know, you'll do your best to spin it because you desperately want to believe Dr. Ford's accusations, but no one is going to buy your spin.

    It only says she doesn't remember it. Not that it never happened. It isn't a matter of spin. It is a matter of the English Language and how it is used.

    Ah, so everyone just happened to forget it....how convenient. When someone says that they never met Kavanaugh, it pretty much says that they were never at a 6 person party with him. If we were talking about a 100 person party, maybe they just wouldn't know, but with only 6 people there, you'd know who everyone is.

    It's just laughable how you guys are willing to torture the facts so that you can hold on to hope that Dr. Ford's story is potentially legitimate.

    Actually, I disagree, there is spin here...it's @Bobbythegreat that's doing the spin.

    Either that or he has little handle of the English language and doesn't understand the statement he's read.

    So in your mind, the fact that there is absolutely no evidence or corroboration to support Dr. Ford's story isn't a problem at all for you? LOL

    If pretending not knowing everyone in a room at small get together 36 years later when you didn't know anything remarkable might have happened is what you are left with, then you should just surrender now.

    If you are hanging out with 6 people, you can't tell me there are any of them that you don't meet. On top of that, no one else supposedly there remembers a party like that ever taking place.....and that's not even going into the more ridiculous problems with the story. For example, Ford doesn't remember how she got home, but when she left, she was likely 7 miles or so away from home and she didn't call anyone to pick her up, and she didn't drive......so did she walk to a pay phone and conveniently forget it all?

    Again, I understand that you desperately want to believe that the story is true and you don't mind looking ridiculous pushing the false allegation but at some point you are going to want some credibility, why waste all of it here knowing that Kavanaugh is going to end up on the bench later this week anyway?

    I meet people every week and forget who they are the next week let alone 36 years later.

    Thought experiment:

    Say everybody that Ford mentions that was at the party remembers the party. The party date, time, length, etc.

    Say that during the 10-15 minute window where the alleged assault occurred, when Ford, Kavanaugh and Judge were upstairs, how likely would the others remember their absence? I am guessing that this would be highly unlikely.

    Quibbling about the party particulars is a dodge, when in the end this really comes down to a he-said-she-said.

    You realize you are tearing down an eyewitness intended to benefit Dr. Ford, not Kavanaugh right? Without corroboration her story is nothing more than a fairy tale, now sure it's worse when those you would have corroborate your story instead say that it didn't happen or that they couldn't remember anything like that ever happening, but you aren't scoring points by suggesting that 36 years wipes out all memory of the event because if that's true, how much can you trust Dr. Ford's memory? Then factor in that she allegedly couldn't remember if she had given a copy of her therapists' notes to the paper she leaked the story to just a few weeks ago....oh I'm sure her memory is perfect with the 2 things she remembers though.
