1...A few thoughts that I've been stewing over:<br /><br />1) I'm a bit of a false-confessions junkie, so I keep thinking that if an innocent person can be persuaded to believe that they committed a heinous act in a matter of hours, what can an attorney do with a willing participant over six days?<br /><br />2) Feinstein's office released an incredibly crappy photocopy of the Ford letter to Grassley's office, which the latter made public. I work with document imaging regularly and imaging in general every day. It is a head-scratcher for me how, in 2018, one can generate such an abysmal reproduction without turning to severely out-of-date technology. Given that Grassley's office also publicized a scan of the accompanying letter that was of moderately high quality, I can only assume Feinstein's office is responsible for the deterioration of the Ford letter. My suspicion is that the released copy was intentionally degraded in hopes of fomenting conspiracy theories among sleuths looking for the next Killian documents.<br /><br />3) I'm a little confused. The latest accusation is that Kavanaugh and some friends maybe suggested that a girl they knew got around in their yearbook bios. But feminism says that's not a bad thing. On the other hand, Kavanaugh is being mocked for being a virgin in high school. But feminism says that guys having lots of sex is also a bad thing. In any case, if being a white, upper-class, prep-schooler-cum-frat-bro isn't enough to convince you that Kavanaugh is a rape fiend, his prolonged virginity should remove all doubt. Somehow.<br /><br />4) Among the more ridiculous claims I've encountered in the past 48 hours: (a) Republicans taught Democrats how to Bork a nominee, i.e. history begins in 2016; (b) Admitting that one has a fragmented recollection of an event makes one a credible witness, but someone claiming no recollection is a liar and a betrayer; (c) Having no witnesses actually corroborates an account if the person asserts that there were no witnesses, even after she said that there were.tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-41887587649072661972018-09-25T03:19:35.633-04:002018-09-25T03:19:35.633-04:00Christine Ford's lawyer is objecting to (male)...Christine Ford's lawyer is objecting to (male) senators' plans to have a female lawyer question her Thursday and the porn lawyer is promising to produce more woman claiming to be victims.

Sorry, I tend to be a bit pressed for quality commenting time when I'm on break or lunch at work. If there's any optimism to be had about the confirmation it looks like the second accuser's story is already getting poked full of holes and if even Mitch McConnell is taking to the floor visibly angry about this smear campaign that's a potentially good sign for the GOP. A few more reports indicated that they actually did offer a woman to do the questioning but of course Ford's not having any of that. This farce seriously needs to end with Kavanaugh confirmed and the Dems burned.ArgentGalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173296751792700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-19502888603731032872018-09-24T17:57:04.774-04:002018-09-24T17:57:04.774-04:00Daniel, You would think they can't sink any lo...Daniel, You would think they can't sink any lower, but they never fail to disappoint in that regard.

All the pieces fit together! There's no denying it!

Unfortunately it looks like it's spooked enough people to make his confirmation dicey. The whole thing is especially appalling when you consider the Ellison case and how his accuser actually released medical and 911 records backing up her claims yet only 5% of Minnesota Democrats believe her.
