IMPORTANT!!!...Breaking news this morning!: https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/gra...

“Twelve hours before the hearing they suggest two anonymous men claimed to have assaulted her,” the aide stated. “Democrats were never informed of these assertions or interviews, in violation of Senate rules.”

There was a woman who phoned Rush Limbaugh today who vividly remembers EVERYTHING about her rape down to the color of the man's eyes.
She said listening to Ford's phony act made her blood boil.

Slighty off topic, Ford is being hailed as "courageous" and as receiving no personal benefits from going public.
This is nonsense. How about a NYT bestseller (proofread by somebody literate), numerous paid speaking gigs, and endless adulation from her circle.

Interesting, but hardly conclusive, except possibly to show the low standards of English that are ´being accepted in academia.

And some of the errors are debatable. "Drunken" is fairly common use, although technically incorrect.

And the reviewer uses "myself" to paper over hiss/her own inability to parse sentences and figure out whether to use e.g. "I" or "me". This reduces the reviewer's credibility.

So, the "poorly educated writer" could easily be Ford.

I think Ford did have an unpleasant sexual encounter, but during her therapy sessions, the attacker wasn't named. I also think, as a victim of Trump Derangement Syndrome, she was so enraged and feeling helpless about efforts to evict the president that she convinced herself she had to find a way to stop something, anything to block his efforts to institute change. That kind of boiling rage can convince a person to name an innocent party as the culprit. That's one of the reasons why courts don't allow lie detector results as evidence.

Nope. I believe this is a huge conspiracy and the bad news is, these people believe in what they are doing, It's not about Kavannaugh. It's about the seat on the Court and they hate Trump so much they can't be coherent. It doesn't bother them to destroy a man and his family,

Thank you, allosaur. This whole scenario today has such a false ring to it. Buddy, if you are 'almost' raped, you will never forget the time of day, place, date ,and who was there. Even after many, many years!

I dont have much hope for it being eliminated in this age of liberal thinking and protectionist policies. Too bad. But on the other hand, we do have alternatives to learning that we never had before the internet. The usefullness of a college degree is more limited now, especially if you want to start a business. or work for yourself in some way

I completely agree. Tenure was originally instituted as a protection for professors so they could tread into controversial topics without fear of political reprisal by the school. Now it just exists to protect those who tread into controversial topics in order to pursue the political aims of the school.

I think one big problem is tenure. I think it should be abolished right NOW. I have had the arrogant ones also, who just resent having to teach deplorable people what they know. Professors are lazy and overpaid as a group, I think because of the tenure. Whenever a group of people get preferential treatment, it ruins them, This applies to other groups too like blacks, women, illegal immigrants, refugees, etc.

I've had some good, some not so good. Most of my business professors were pretty good. One was exceptionally intelligent (had a PhD in Economics and a JD) but was a lousy teacher because she expected everyone else - even undergraduate students - to know the material already. (Uhhhh, isn't that your job???)

My philosophy professor, on the other hand, was a bigot. All semester we studied a variety of mainstream philosophers including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Kant, St. Thomas Aquinas, Sartre, Camus, and others (No, they didn't include Ayn Rand nor did they get into religious figures such as Mohammed or Christ). At the end, our job was to take any topic of choice and examine how one of the philosophers studied would see that topic. Up to the end, I had a solid A in the class. But when I got my final grade for the semester, it was a B and the professor was unwilling to even give me the critique on my final paper. She wasn't willing to debate my choice of subject, my analysis (which included every single one of the philosophers we had studied), or anything else. It was one of the few B's I received and the only one I knew was 100% bogus.

The only thing I can conclude after reading the 14 points is that the author of the letter was indeed poorly educated - an indictment of the educational process that promotes students, awards degrees, inflates test results and classroom costs, all without regard to what has not been learned. In other words, a Ph.D. is hardly a legitimate indicator of writing skills. Nevertheless, the accusations would indicate a learning curve based on disrespect for the rights of others. There are valid reasons to discourage the appointment of Judge Kavanaugh - accusations of assault are hardly necessary (except to the severely impaired politicians who have made them).

You're probably right. But as the Democrats have said "this isn't a trial" ;)

My view of professors just took a big dip. I have known a few in the past, and they are wildly liberal, lazy, arrogrant, and essentially pretty worthless to me. This one fits the bill completely. I really have little interest in meeting more "professors". They are overpaid and underworked, and are liberals. Thats enough to disqualify them in my view.

But she will get no respect from at least half the country. She is just a liberal pig with agendas. There is no reason to wait 36 years to go an destroy a man's life just for political purposes. She should be fired actually, as a disgrace to the profession. This whole MeToo movement has gotten out of hand. Women are pricing themselves out of the market- no wonder marriage rates are declining.

Her life isn’t trashed. She just hit the jackpot. She’s going to be able to write books, appear on TV, be appointed to run foundations, etc. This will likely net her millions of dollars.

Ah, but do not ask a witness a question if you do not know the answer.

This isnt a trial. A trial would be conducted in the locality in which it occurred and prosecuted by local authorities. The statute of limitations is there because after awhile its impossible to really prove much at all. 36 years is plenty of time for a seriously damaged accused to bring it up in the local police department.

This is just a witchhunt on the part of the democrats to destroy Trump's choice. I am so disgusted by all this anti-Trump stuff. I have had enough. Elections have consequences and I hope Trump wins big in the mid-terms. If he doesnt, I am pretty much done with the USA.

exceller- yes.
Consider, when FFA writes " innocent until proven guilty with real evidence", who is meant? I say it is both, the Judge and the letter writer.

First of all, this should be a criminal matter in the area where it took place, given the differences in statute of limitations.
Second, the taxpayers shouldnt be wasting a couple million dollars on a hearing like this just to satisfy democrats that Trumps choice is bad. Trump was right that if he proposed George Washington himself, the democrats would want to reject him. Its SO obvious what the leftists are up to that I think that they should be ignored. Repubs should approve Kavanaugh in spite of this whole charade. He sounds like a great judge, and thats what we WANT. Whatever happened 36 years ago is pretty much irrelevant at this point.

On something like this, I would have proofread it myself, in that it was designed to destroy another person's life. It could have been written hastily in hopes to destroy Trump's choice, and contained errors because she really didnt give a damn and wasnt sure that the plot would work.

In any event, her life is trashed at this point. I would never take a class of hers, read anything she wrote, or attended any talks she gave. She is just another political hack.

But in this case, the whole thing is a pile of sh&^. If in fact what she said happened, AND it happened with Kavanaugh, there are so many holes in her testimony as to where, when, how she got there, etc, that it doesnt make sense. She is just wanting to destroy Trump's choice for SC judge- thats the long and the short of it.

The whole show stinks to high heaven.

Great find and a compelling argument. Many of the mistakes are nit-picky, but ones which a competent/professional writer will avoid. Certainly nothing like what would appear in a peer-reviewed article published by a credentialed professor.

Its a show being put on by the liberals to discredit Trump's SC choice. Its obvious, and I have concluded that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I am totally disgusted by this charade. It makes me think that there arent any women left worth anything in this culture now. I know there must be a few, but not many.
She is acting as though the whole thing was proven to be true, and HE did it. I dont see how its proven at all. I could make up a story just as easily and assert that too. The democrats are just trying to do whatever they can to delay and get rid of Kaanaugh and Trump. I think the repubs should just go ahead with the appointment of Kavanaugh, PERIOD, and stop giving the democrats more time to do their damage. At this point regardless of assertions from 36 +- years ago
