The fact that they moved her from Cali and housed her incommunicado for two weeks within hours of DC without bothering to tell any Senate investigatory personnel *or* the FBI kind of buttresses the 'ambush and nothing but ambush' scenario to a great extent. If I pulled that **** with a witness, even a pre-filing deposition, I'd get my ass sanctioned by the judge and probably face a raft of disciplinary actions by the state bar.

When you put that together with the leak that came out of some Senator's office to force this into the limelight -- that doesnt help her case either. There was nothing at all on the up and up on how she was handled.

But I am sure that overlooking that will certainly be good for the acolytes to hang onto and render faith to.

I don't think she was lying. I think that Democrats took advantage of a crazy woman for political purposes.

You've definitely hit the Alex Jones jackpot with your "crazy woman" comment. Congratulations. I mean, most of the far right Talking Heads had the decorum to say that they believed that something happened to her, but that Kavanaugh was not involved and her memory was likely fuzzy. You went straight “she’s crazy”. Does anybody still wonder why women don’t come forward more frequently and earlier?.

It sounds as if in your righteous anger at my word usage, you feel justified to slur me with an Alex Jones reference.

There was no anger, righteous or otherwise. Just mostly surprised that you would slur her in that manner.

You have your opinion that he was blatantly lying. I am surprised you would slur him that way.

I have my opinion, based on several points, that she is not 100% mentally fit. I think her delusion, if such it is, is confined to this one thing and she otherwise can live a functional and normal life, as my sister did for several years. My sister is crazy. It is not a slur. It is a description. That is one way to describe people who see people who aren't there and accuse them of doing things that weren't done. We would have been OK with letting my sister talk to this imaginary guy until she attached her delusion to a real person, as Ford may have done with Kavanaugh, and starting calling the police on him, as Ford did with her letter. See any similarities yet? Talk to my sister about anything other than this, and you will conclude she is a well educated and well rounded, knowledgeable sane person. Talk to Ford about anything other than Kavanaugh, and you probably get the same impression. Can the poor sap on the grounds crew prove he didn't rape my sister? I doubt it. Ask Kavanaugh about the difficulty of proving you didn't do something. But the poor sap on the grounds crew will never have to prove his innocence in front of national TV and a hostile committee, including many who feel justified in doing anything unethical or illegal to prove him guilty, justified by their righteous anger.
