Kavanaugh to be given a fair trial then shot
Timothy Birdnow
Lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford, the pscyhology prof accusing SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh of attempting to rape her in high school, are demanding that Kavanaugh speak to Congress first (so she will know what to say when she gets up on the stand.) One of the Osprey here, Eddie, makes the following point:
"Jonathon Turley described this "situation" as similar to a batter not allowed to swing at a pitched ball until it has been caught by the catcher."
This would be, of course, a monumental violation of all rules of order in American jurisprudence. But the crybaby Democrats will probably demand it. Well, o.k. then. If they want this then Ford should be searched for electronic devices of any sort, put in a sound-proofed, electronic proofed booth while Kavanaugh testifies, then made to immediately testify after he is finished.
Bet the Democrats won't go for that.
The whole point of getting Kavanaugh to testify first is to see what he says so she can tailor her testimony based on his. This is rather like bringing charges before the police have actually interviewed any witnesses. Kavanagh, accused with no deetails and over something three and a half decades old, has the right to confront his accuser, and the right to know what those accusations really are.
Ford's handlers know Kavanaugh will poke all sorts of holes in her testimony, which is why they have to have him go first. The GOP had better not fall for this.
Dana Mathewson adds:
I like it! And what's the batter supposed to do, just step out of the batter's box and wait for the next pitch -- the way the GOP has done for decades? I want to see the batter slug the catcher over the head -- or maybe run out to the pitcher's mound and slug the pitcher -- after first whacking the umpire.
It's way past time we agreed to play by THEIR rules.
Tim replies:
And the umpire is best buddies with the pitcher aka the news media. The only way to play a game like that is to bring a shotgun.
