Supreme Court Justice Kennedy to Retire

[One Brow]

So if your wife come says someone attempted to rape her, you don't ask who it was? Why in the world would she not provide it? Get real.

Repeating yourself, as opposed to actually thinking about what I said, does not improve your appearance.

Many trauma victims don't want to share the details. For one thing, they are worried that their significant others will make things worse, not better. Again, you are making the conversation about you, not her, at a time she needs you to think about her more than usual.

Still, you do you.

And what about victims of false accusations? Haven't seen any hint, not one, of this concern from you guys lol seems partisan does it not?

Who’s been falsely accused? I want to know who you’re specifically referring to. You act as if people are being falsely accused of sexual assault all the time.

So will the FBI investigation happen now that Hirono is asking for it?

 

[One Brow]

Required to report, and they'd ask who it was and the name that's for sure. State of Arkansas

The state of Arkansas requires a woman to report the name of her rapist when she wants to call a hotline? I hope I got that wrong.

 

[Stoked]

They already submitted legally binding statements that don't remember anything about this. What more is there to ask?

RAGE RAGE. INSULTS AND RAGE.

Whew, feel better that I fit in again.

The vendetta this guy will carry if confirmed to the Supreme Court is just scary...

If any normal time he’d barely receive 10 votes. But in the trump era this guy seems like a lock to be confirmed. I hope women don’t forget to vote this November. They’re getting trampled right now

Disagree. In a "normal time", for example, 2006, they would never have hand these rounds of questions to begin with, and he would have already been confirmed.

No really, no. Just going by the numbers false accusations are incredibly rare. Vanishingly so when you consider how many of them go anywhere.

Hell, when it comes to rape, like 1% result in a conviction of the rapist due to low reporting and other factors.

False accusations aren't even on my radar of things to be concerned about.

I'm sitting feet away from institutionalized clients, doctors, therapists, mental health paraprofessionals. I have required training yearly on these topics. Trauma Informed Care two weeks ago, 4 day session. They brought up the trauma informed care approach at the beginning this session we're discusssing!

Then you should know that it's completely normal for survivors of past sexual assault to have perfectly lucid memories of the event itself, but have no recollection at all of the events before and afterward. It's not a 'convenience' for them at all.

... certainly if it was as traumatic as shes making it out to be she'd be distraught and crying uncontrollably or in a state of shock..

Or just very quiet. Or deliberately loud and boisterous, if still in a state of denial. Or any number of things.

Are you deliberately trying to look like a raging, misogynist pig? Is this a satire or put on?

Booker with some very good questions. Kavanaugh stuttering, stalling, dodging.

Kavanaugh should have said, "Ms. Ford's allegations are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, and untrue. Interpret that however you like."

Each time I've sat down to watch this it seems he could never answer a question with a straight answer.
