Smart ass. I know what you meant though so it's okay to vent your frustration framed as a joke, this time.
Im not going to pretend that I know anything about this with all it's facets. In my little world it's not complicated, if an individual tries to physically hurt me, I get away or I hurt them until it's settled one way or another. If it's criminal then it's addressed formally, period. Don't think I'll ever understand the act of inaction & the ancillary notion of wait & happen to mention it to strangers half a lifetime later. I just don't get it & might not ever.
The way I see it, to address a situation as that, in this arena now is not justice be it her aim or another's. FWIW, I'd toss libel in the pot too.
Simple, yes. Ignorant, maybe so.

I wanna see Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffetz have 15 minutes of gloves-off questioning with her. Those dudes would make me question whether or not water is wet when they get going.

It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged. - The Cleveland Press, March 1, 1921, GK Chesterton
There are serious doubts on if Thursday will even happen.
Nothing scheduled to question the new (Boulder Lib) accuser.
Dims are dancing on the lines of legality here. The accusers can lie with only civil liability, the lawyers get away with, the politicians get away with it, the high priced Dim "team" that is doing this gets away with it. But if the accusers go on the record, it creates criminal liability; perjury and subornation of perjury.
These women can be sued for libel/slander/defamation but with the money behind them, I wonder if the damages aren't already in escrow. If I were lying for Dims I would insist on nothing less.

From The Daily Wire (Ben Shapiro's site)
Read Kavanaugh's full letter below:
When I testified in front of the Senate three weeks ago, I explained my belief that fair process is foundational to justice and to our democracy.
At that time, I sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee for more than 31 hours and answered questions under oath. I then answered more questions at a confidential session. The following week, I responded to more than 1,200 written questions, more than have been submitted to all previous Supreme Court nominees combined.
Only after that exhaustive process was complete did I learn, through the news media, about a 36- year-old allegation from high school that had been asserted months earlier and withheld from me throughout the hearing process. First it was an anonymous allegation that I categorically and unequivocally denied. Soon after the accuser was identified, I repeated my denial on the record and made clear that I wished to appear before the Committee. I then repeated my denial to Committee investigators—under criminal penalties for false statements. All of the witnesses identified by Dr. Ford as being present at the party she describes are on the record to the Committee saying they have no recollection of any such party happening. I asked to testify before the Committee again under oath as soon as possible, so that both Dr. Ford and I could both be heard. I thank Chairman Grassley for scheduling that hearing for Thursday.
Last night, another false and uncorroborated accusation from 35 years ago was published. Once again, those alleged to have been witnesses to the event deny it ever happened. There is now a frenzy to come up with something—anything—that will block this process and a vote on my confirmation from occurring.
These are smears, pure and simple. And they debase our public discourse. But they are also a threat to any man or woman who wishes to serve our country. Such grotesque and obvious character assassination—if allowed to succeed—will dissuade competent and good people of all political persuasions from service.
As I told the Committee during my hearing, a federal judge must be independent, not swayed by public or political pressure. That is the kind of judge I will always be. I will not be intimidated into withdrawing from this process. The coordinated effort to destroy my good name will not drive me out. The vile threats of violence against my family will not drive me out. The last minute character assassination will not succeed.
I have devoted my career to serving the public and the cause of justice, and particularly to promoting the equality and dignity of women. Women from every phase of my life have come forward to attest to my character. I am grateful to them. I owe it to them, and to my family, to defend my integrity and my name. I look forward to answering questions from the Senate on Thursday.
Amen and amen. If somehow he ends up not being confirmed, I sure as hell hope he goes after them for libel. Damages would be pretty easy to prove.

Interview with Kavanaughs schedule tonight with Martha Maccallum at Fox.
The Left's narrative has shifted today from "must believe women" to "Merrick Garland" which I think shows this is all a cheap political stunt. But it also messages that many on the Left know these claims are false (ends justify the means) so it's not about women but payback.

More concern Thursday testimony won't happen. GOP appoints a sex crimes expert to do the interviewing of Ford. Ford team objects and I think this is their biggest issue. They want a name (supposedly female), resume, and an explanation of this person's role.

I think they wanted the negative optics of old white men being insensitive towards Ford should any meaningful questions be asked. That way if Ford is further exposed as a liar, they can shift to feels.
Again, a truth teller doesn't pull this bullshit.

Well she's a liberal democrat. Therefore we already know she's not a "truth teller".

The really pathetic and sad thing:
A homeless crackhead facing indecent exposure charges would be treated more fairly than a highly qualified and respected justice being considered for the highest court in the nation.
Fucking sad
