Whalen is an actual friend of Kavanaugh, is close with many top conservatives, and a former law clerk to Antonin Scalia. He's part of Kavanagh's confirmation advisory team. He's definitely not a nobody. He had access to the Facebook pages of Mark Judge and the doppelganger. He had access to their class yearbook.
And strangely, he seems to know the identity and address of the second female at the party - see his map that shows her residence that is 7 miles from the Columbia Country Club. I'm not sure who could have given him that information, since the named people (Kavanaugh, Smyth, Judge) all state they weren't there and don't even know when and where the party took place.

B-Fly, you have a law degree, so help me out here.
taking the emotions out of it (if that's possible), how does someone informally accused of something testify first? what does he testify to? and if it's responding to a newspaper article, is that how the legal system works? and he's going to testify that he wasn't...... where?
I'm sure there's a reasonable answer. but I guess I'm used to thinking the protocol was someone formally filing a complaint, let's call it, and that then brings interest in getting a response from the accused.
I'm not using the names, because the names - and the case - aren't relevant to my question. see what I mean?
I realize this is not a criminal proceeding, but I still don't get it. and are they saying he will go first and third? I assume they'd have to bring him back once her story is heard.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

If she wanted a full investigation, we could have easily had one. instead, this was saved for the last minute.

BS. The Republicans are already bending over backward to give her a formal hearing.

Republicans delayed Garland 14 months.
You are ridiculous.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

Originally posted by B-Fly View PostSome credit is due to the President, here, who is advocating for a hearing, speaking respectfully about the accuser, and not remotely suggesting that the allegation should be ignored or dismissed out of hand because of how long ago it occurred, or because of Kavanaugh's age (or alcohol impairment) per the alleged incident.

You are ridiculous.
I give you Garland. That's one of the because-we-can issues that is fair only to the extent Democrats do the same sort of shit. In their case it was Bork 332 years ago.
