1) Since I didn't vote for Trump, not sure I have to claim them as "my team". 2) If the allegation isn't true, it's not Kavanaughs baggage to be falsely accused of something. 3) If the allegation is true, this is all on Kavanaugh, as my guess would be that no one knew about this before Dr. Ford came forward

But my guess is one of the following occurred. 1) The boy being held down told someone (Dr. Ford said she told no one) 2) The boy doing the peeing told someone (Judge Kavanaugh said he didn't do it) 3) The boys holding down the boy told someone (The only other person allegedly in the room, said this didn't happen) 4) Someone else saw it (There are no witnesses in this case) Without one of those four things happening, how can "many people hear about it"?

So, Dr. Ford says she told no one, but "many of them heard about it in School?" So, to believe both of these ladies, we have to believe that a 17 year old Brett Kavanaugh ran around telling people he did this....doesn't seem likely.

I don't think it is only about Roe v Wade, but it is certainly more about the direction of the court than it is the alleged incident.

He has sent a letter to the Judiciary committee stating that he has no recollection of this alleged assault occurring.

Of course the Republicans were honest about what they were doing in following a rule that Joe Biden suggested in 1992 that a President shouldn't nominate a Supreme Court Justice during an election year; and of course it was political maneuvering. The Democrats are pretending to care about an alleged, unreported, misdemeanor assault from 35 years ago, that they knew about 2 1/2 months ago, only to bring it up after the confirmation hearings had concluded, with one purpose, to delay the confirmation. If Feinstein truly cared about this, she would have asked Kavanaugh about it in her private interviews with him.

Let's be honest, the only reason Dr. Ford and the Dems want an FBI investigation is because it will push the confirmation vote past the mid-term elections. It's the same reason Sen Fienstein Sat on the letter for 6 weeks.

Yep, don't tell the truth under oath, don't get confirmed. But has to be actually not telling the truth about something substinative, not some minor "got ya".

Don't totally disagree with your first statement. Removing term limits would take a constitutional amendment, doubt it will ever happen, and not sure it should.

And Judicial philosophy has nothing to do with it? So if this were Breyer or Souter, they would be gone as well?

I don't disagree.

Assuming for a moment that everything Dr. Ford is alleging occurred exactly as she says, and let's say she immediately reported it to the authorities., does anyone really think that Brett Kavanaugh would have been charged with anything more than a misdemeanor assault? I don't. So, If I am correct, the new standard would now be that an unreported misdemeanor assault, from 35 years ago, would be enough to keep someone off the Supreme Court. And this new standard is being set by the party (Democrats), who are pushing "ban the box" bills that would forbid employers from asking potential employees if they have been convicted of a felony on their employment application.

This sums everything up perfectly.

I learned that having to rely on a third string quarterback two weeks into a rebuilding year can be quite detrimental....certainly not a surprise though.

No worries.

i was wrong

I think TG transferring now, instead of at the end of the season, may actually hurt his chances with the NFL. I could see an NFL GM asking himself "do I want a QB who is in a battle being the starter, and upon losing, demands to be traded right before the season starts, and leaves me with no good back-up, or do I want a QB who lost the battle and says he will stay and be the best back up he can be, then asking to be traded at the end of year so he can potentially start somewhere else.?" I don't mean to imply that Bunch isn't a good back up.

I, like most people here am disappointed TG is leaving; and like most people, do not hold it against TG for doing what's best for him. It seems to me that there should be a rule change regarding the scholarship. A scholarship shouldn't count against a team total, if the player is enrolled at a different school.

After reading all of the comments here about OSU and Urban Meyer, seems to me that many have forgotten that we currently have a head coach who, while in college, hid in a closet while a teammate beat the hell out of his girl friend, and this same coach recently invited a former Husker back to talk to the football team; a former player was who convicted of sexual assault while playing football for the Huskers. I only bring this up because it seems that all of this rightous indignation seem a little over the top.

Thanks, wasn't trying to defend Urban, just wasn't sure it was a title IX issue.

Ok, I wasn't trying to defend Urban, I just wasn't sure that it was a Title IX issue. Apparently it is.

All students, faculty and staff at UNL are protected by Title IX (regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, full or part-time status, disability, race or national origin) in all aspects of UNL’s educational programs and activities. All forms of sexual harassment, including but not limited to, dating and domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault are violations of Title IX and prohibited by UNL. I think Urban is toast, and should be; but I do not believe this is a Title IX issue, as noted above from the UNL link you provided.
