usatodayopinion Felony sexual assault has no Statute of Limitation. The victim(s) should notify the LE jurisdiction in which the allegations occurred. (New Haven) An investigation can ensue (or not). Let the chips fall where they may. Otherwise-STHU.

usatodayopinion This isn’t a court trial...beyond a reasonable doubt does not apply.. one of them is lying....ask yourself... WHY WOULD SHE LIE? She has nothing to gain.

usatodayopinion His wife’s face says it all. GUILTY.

usatodayopinion The media knows Kavanaugh is innocent. They keep ignoring the enormous holes in the accusations.

usatodayopinion Dems just want to tarnish his image for momentum into the midterms. It is in fact a con! That’s how disgusting politics are today. Obama exploited Garland and now the left is destroying the reputation of a good man for political gain.

usatodayopinion Finally. The news media stating the accusations for what they really are. No definitive conclusions can be drawn as to the character of Kavanaugh in light of the accusations.

usatodayopinion They can't. No one can.

usatodayopinion Dr Ford has no chance for a fair hearing. The all male GOP members have made up their minds. Couple this with she being questioned by a prosecutor who will treat her like she was the abuser. Sad state of affairs. We must correct this in November. rememberinnovember.

usatodayopinion They don’t need to. How about having the FBI conduct an investigation? The reasonable doubt comes when five separate accusations have been made by credible victims and witnesses.

usatodayopinion She claims there were three boys, yet she has never filed a criminal complaint against ANY of them. Moreover, the fact she is only going after Kavanaugh means her agenda is politically motivated.

usatodayopinion It is all tainted, smeared, and out of hand. There are other people suitable for the job! Republicans now stand on a matter of principle and for what ? Move on. You're all a laughing stock proven by what happened in front of the UN to Trump as you stand behind him.

usatodayopinion Why does it seem that these hearing spectacle is really looking like a scene out of the movie The Crucible?

usatodayopinion Going to be very interesting tomorrow

usatodayopinion Yeah. Where's the blue dress?

usatodayopinion Not even his wife believes him. Check out that side eye.

usatodayopinion It’s not a jury trial. They don’t need reasonable doubt. They need to feel that Dr. Ford is credible and that should be enough to question the wisdom of putting Kavanaugh on the SCOTUS. Simple as that.

usatodayopinion If they needed to then this should be moved to a courtroom for a real trial. SupremeCourtJustice vaguelyunreasonabledoubtenough

usatodayopinion That is not the standard. Why is this hard to grasp. He is applying for a job. He is not on trial. If there is any legitimate doubt, why give him the job.

usatodayopinion They don't need to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt for purposes of the hearing, it's an interview, not a trial.

usatodayopinion Good thing it’s a job interview and not a trial

usatodayopinion They can’t. But it won’t matter. Enough of the rhinos will vote no, giving cover to the red state Dems

usatodayopinion You can’t ruin ppls lives on heresy. Just ask yourself, if someone made accusations about your character if you would want evidence? I know I would.

usatodayopinion This is not a trial.

usatodayopinion That’s what it will take. Real evidence. Not 30 year old asinine allegations where the parties admitted to being drunk or being willing accomplices to assault with no corroborating evidence.

usatodayopinion This is ridiculous. You don’t need to convict Kavanaugh to have enough reason to be uncomfortable putting him on the Supreme Court.

usatodayopinion

usatodayopinion Preponderance of the evidence🙄

usatodayopinion That is the look of a scared teenage boy. KavaNO KavanaughT

usatodayopinion That is not the standard

usatodayopinion So the other accusers mean nothing? How many does it take for them to be taken seriously? These fossils in the GOP could have video evidence and would still vote to confirm him.

usatodayopinion Good thing this is not a criminal trial then...

usatodayopinion You think? All allegations against him have no evidence or witnesses to back them up. The Democrats gave taken the resistance to a low level.

usatodayopinion Beyond a reasonable doubt os not required. BelieveSurvivors MeToo StopKavanaugh ibelievewoman

usatodayopinion Is reasonable doubt the standard for judicial confirmations? How about preponderance of evidence?

usatodayopinion They don’t have to prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt. THIS ISN’T A CRIMINAL TRIAL. It’s a job interview.

usatodayopinion Yeah, it's not a trial. If it was we would get... wait for it... an INVESTIGATION!!!!!!!

usatodayopinion Doesn't have to be "beyond reasonable doubt", not a criminal proceeding

usatodayopinion Irresponsible post. It doesn't matter. Not a criminal trial

usatodayopinion It’s not a legal proceeding, so it does not have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. It is a test if credibility. You should kniw this before you write about it.

usatodayopinion The GOP sure do love their rapists, pedophiles, and Catholic Priests. My bad, child molesters on the 3rd one.

usatodayopinion The bar for our Supreme Court is not "beyond reasonable doubt". It is "above reproach". Do people not read the Federalist Papers anymore?

usatodayopinion Shocking corruption under the democrats!!! Ford is Lying 🤥

usatodayopinion Lock her Up Ford is Lying 🤥

usatodayopinion Meaning..they can’t.

usatodayopinion Good thing this isn’t a criminal trial then.

usatodayopinion Duhhhhh
