I don’t. That is why I wish to listen before passing judgement.

“Do you think the threshold of believability is the ownership of XX chromosomes?”
Amazingly, some do believe that, despite living proof to the contrary (e.g. Clinton, Feinstein, etc.)

The allegations. There were at least 6 people at the party, three of whom have been identified. Can we learn more from questioning about patterns of behavior of these people at that time that either support or vitiate the allegations? In the end, there may be nothing discovered that clarifies the situation at all, and people will be forced to vote with whatever facts they have available. But why foreclose on an investigation altogether?

If the FBI doesn’t feel an investigation is warranted at this time, then the Senate needs to move on with the confirmation process. Get 'er done!

Dr. Ford is believable because there is no reason at this point to disbelieve her. And the fact that she has XX chomosomes shou not be held as a reason to disbelieve
No. Honestly, who does?
I think that she would like men to break the patter of disbelief and listen before mansplaining the situation.
She should have used a qualifier since the statement cannot be made to all man, and also included reference to some women who also seem to be jumping the gun.

Ford has been offered the chance to testify. If she refuses, that’s on her. The whole “FBI must investigate first” thing is transparently stalling.

Not getting confirmed to a lifetime appointment is not a punishment (unless I’m being punished and didn’t know it).
I’m shocked that she hesitated to commit to sitting at a table for hours next to the man who she claims sexually assaulted her.
That wouldn’t be an acceptable thing to say because it wouldn’t be truthful. What Hirono did say is acceptable because it is truthful.
As opposed to the transparency of offering the “opportunity” to testify without other witnesses and being forced to sit next to her attacker. Republicans are in no danger of losing this seat on the Court. If they took sexual assault seriously they would take the time to investigate Ford’s claims fully. All indications are they don’t take sexual assault seriously.

Christine Blasey Ford feared an avalanche of attacks if she went public about Kavanaugh, friends say
‘I’ve been trying to forget this all my life,’ Palo Alto professor and mom told friend, ‘and now I’m supposed to remember every little detail’

Right but the confirmation vote should not be stopped or postponed over this either. The judge can be confirmed and the investigation can continue. If their is any merit to the accusations in the investigation than we can look at taking Kavanaugh out. Why does the accuser get their day while we have to pass on the accused day.KMC:
No. She is saying that Ford should not be dismissed and even vilified without a hearing.
What are you suggesting, that the allegations be summarily dismissed? Why?
Who is saying such a thing?

I would think that most peopel woudl prefer to have the facts before casting their vote.
Have I called for stopping the vote?
Why does it matter if the vote is held today, next Tuesday, or next month, or even in November, December, or early January? The same Senate will vote.

This is going to happen anyway, so the Repubs ought to hope for this.

So the Senate might not have a Republican majority by the time it comes up for a vote. That’s why Feinstein sat on it, to get as close as possible to the election but before the confirmation vote. And that’s the strategy still.

There are probably 100 more pro-abortionists who will eventually say the same.

Difficult to imagine a delay even through next January.

First, Dr. Ford should be afforded the opportunity to make her case. Nobody, especially Sen Hirono, should be making any comments as to the believability or lackthereof of Dr. Ford or Judge Kavanaugh. Agreed?KMC:

Second, Sen Hirono’s own words indicate we should believe Dr. Ford because she is a woman. This is the plain meaning of her words: “Not only do women, like Dr. Ford, who bravely comes forward, need to be heard, but they need to be believed,”. I suppose you are interpreting her comments outside of the quote in the article?
I find myself greatly disagreeing with Sen Hirono’s own words, and agreeing with your explanations of what you think she was trying to say, although I have no way of know if she agrees with your explanations. Perhaps she should retract her original comments, or at least put more thought into her public statements.

So there is more to investigate.

Almost. I don; see why, of all of those spouting off, you single out Sen, Hirono. This:
First, Dr. Ford should be afforded the opportunity to make her case. Nobody should be making any comments as to the believability or lackthereof of Dr. Ford or Judge Kavanaugh.
I think that that is your interpretation.
