I don't even try to figure out senate procedure. It took me long enough the other day just to figure out whether they have a friday session or not (they do), I couldn't figure out how the swearing in / ability to rehear oral arguments works on scotus
Independent, corroborating Yelp reviews that are timestamped as coming from long before she was in the public fray. Yes, I give those lots of stock, and I've been waiting patiently for any such evidence against Kavanaugh which has yet to materialize
I don't care if it was scribblings on a bathroom wall that told you to call Sputnik's phone number for a good time- if it can be established as clearly independent from the accusation and weighing into her credibility, that's significant evidence.
She provided essentially zero details for her allegation, leaving us nothing but her credibility to go on. And then we find out she has a history of being sued for defamation, accused of lying to ruin people's lives and accused of being a duplicitous whore.
Unlike classical smear campaigns against accusers (cough Bill Clinton Saga /cough), this history is independent of and predates the media spectacle. Which is precisely why it bears importance.
wouldn't her sexual history only matter if we could credibly believe she willingly participated in a gang bang then called it rape?
not trying to slutshame-shame but it just seems like an unrelated point to her credibility, even though her allegations are sexual in nature. the sleeping around and being called a "whore" isn't relevant to a gang rape imo. i'd object to that if it was in discover, i'd try to strike all of the reviews that didn't talk about her lying or defamation.

i don't know how that's even remotely relevant for my point that throughout this whole thread you have consistently attacked and complained about actions that democrats hadn't even taken, while largely ignoring the hackery, hypocrisy, and lack of morals actually on display from the right, but if i had to place a bet right now i'd probably say 'no' - just based on the way you're asking. prior to this post i probably would have leaned toward 'yes', but with serious doubts based on his awful legislative track record in conflict to the positions you allegedly hold.
i'm sure that will probably make you think you dodged another 'gotcha' (or even worse, is a setup for the nonsensical 'can't be biased because i don't even want him confirmed' argument), or some other paranoid bs that's apparently going on in your head, but again - that has literally nothing to do with my point. also, it's basically the same kind of 'logic' as with the pro-abortion stance i openly asked you about, and that you hilariously misidentified as 'trap' (even though i did everything to convey to you that your clear bias on this issue is what made me curious in the first place), and that you evaded only thanks to your outstanding intelligence and perceptiveness, haha...
did you read post #1816?
based on this non-yes-no-answer id have to guess not.
