Kavanaugh Accuser’s Attorney is Vice Chair of Soros-Funded Organization That Opposes Kavanaugh

She has agreed to testify this coming Thursday, but only if Kavanaugh goes first.
That's not how it supposed to work. The accuser always goes first. Then the defendant has a chance to respond to the accusations.
So, she does not want to give him a chance to respond afterwards to what she claims?
Why does she deserve special treatment again?

More men need to take up for themselves when they are casually and not so casually accused of such things.
There are a lot of man-haters in the world. The reasons are many and varied, but you can spot them by there flippant nastiness and hyperbolic accusations.
Men are not the creeps these militant hags want women to think they are. Sure, there are some honest-to-gosh molesters, rapists, and creeps out there, but most men are not those things, even when they might take flirtatiousness a little too far. Normal women know how to handle it with finesse and class.

Her accusatory letter is not a legal charge, it is evidence.
Exactly the point. There are no charges formally leveled against Kavanaugh. Ergo, there is nothing for him to refute.
For him to have anything to refute, there must first be charges leveled, which would be a testimony by Ford.

The issue here is that there is no legal case. No police force or attorney would bring a case based on the accusations.
Vetting people for security clearances or for Federal Judgeships is not a criminal process.
No legal case need be brought.
Simple illegal drug use in High school is disqualifying.
So is Sexual Assault.
Neither must be criminally charged to be disqualifying.
Odd how often you seem conveniently unaware of basic facts.
He has already been vetted several times, including the FBI reviewing the letter, deciding to take no action and just passing it to the Whitehouse.

I am amazed that Christine Ford didn't chose the "closed session" testimony. The public isn't voting 'yea' or 'nea'. The Senators are.
Transparency is good and a public eye might keep the GOP Senators from attacking rather than inquiring.
Right
Let see if the democrats inquire Kavanaugh or attack him as well

In the end of what outside of what teens typically do...
She wasn't raped
She didn't have stitch of clothing removed or ripped
She didn't have her crotch grab Incorrect
She didn't have her breast fondled Incorrect
She didn't get forced into a kiss
So please explain to me what outside of her feeling discomfort with the situation that basically ended into nothing is the crime...
What is the crime committed in the end?
Are people really going to say a crime was committed with ALL of them drinking etc...
Sick defense. Drinking alcohol does not mean you are free to be attacked, groped, raped etc. without consequence for the perpetrators.
YES crimes are committed against women all the time who have been drinking
I'm just going by her words....
You are not going by ALL of her words.
She gave a detailed interview to the press to extrapolate on the letter she sent.
When she went upstairs to use the bathroom, Ford told the Post that she was pushed into a bedroom.
She said Kavanaugh pinned her to the bed and groped her, trying to remove her clothing and a one-piece bathing suit underneath.
(Mark) Judge stood across the room and both of the boys were laughing "maniacally," Ford said.
When she tried to scream, she said Kavanaugh held his hand over her mouth.
"I thought he might inadvertently kill me," she told the Post. "He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing."

Either way, it should be under the public view, not behind closed doors.
There is no national security interest that would be compromised by vetting a Justice for SCOTUS.
I think it should be open as well, unless she demands her testimony is closed
Her demands to testify are ridiculous though
She has no right to demand that he speak before she does
What good is it to have him respond to accusations he hasn’t heard her fully make under oath?
And her demand Kavanaugh may not have outside counsel question her is also absurd
Imagine being accused of something and not being allowed to question the accuser, and not even being allowed to have your own lawyer question them

Kavenaugh has the advantage of being able to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and meet with them after this hearing. The Judiciary can schedule further hearings or private meetings or closed door hearings with Kavenaugh after Ford has her say.
She only has one appearance. Kavenaugh has as many as he asks for or the committee demands.
She wants Kavenaugh to testify FIRST so he is on record, under oath with whatever denials he gives vs. changing his story to suite her testimony.
He absolutely has the chance to rebut her testimony, but he will testify under oath about this accusation and what he does and does not remember FIRST. If he tells the truth, it doesn't matter. His rebuttal will match his first testimony.

His defense has infinite time, only limited by how long the GOP led Judiciary committee wants to listen.
How would you like to be grilled over nonspecific nebulous accusations that were not even made under oath?
What are your non-specific concerns?
Did he or did he not push her into a bedroom along with Mark Judge (Who the GOP have refused to subpoena) and jump on top of her and grope her and try to pull her clothing off and cover her mouth when she tried to scream?
Does he need more specifics?
Was there more than one time he did this? He needs it narrowed down?
