CayceG Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I mean, looking at it from both sides, it makes sense that he's lawyering up. If the allegations are true and credible, he needs one. If they're completely made up (I do not believe this) then he also needs an attorney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I think people are calling Rubio's office quite a bit because I'm leaving comments in multiple offices and the phone rings with no answer. Gonna call Nelson as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Okay, calls made. I called three Rubio offices and left a message, including his DC office, and also called Nelson's DC office asking that he be very vocal about delaying Kavanaugh's vote. I suggest you do the same. Congresspeople can get spooked by this (the calls are not ignored and disregarded; they want to know who's calling and from where to get an idea of how big a deal an issue is), and it feels fucking GOOD to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I asked this before but I can't find it. No straight answer. There are felons who have passed the bar and were granted license in all 50 states, including adult offenders. It hurts and always delays, but it’s not a death sentence...probably even less so for a well connected white kid wanting to be a lawyer.

One of my friends is a lawyer and I had to submit a character reference sheet to the Massachusetts Bar for him. From that experience it seems like bar associations place a high value on character references, which Kavanaugh is clearly able to manufacture, given that 65 women letter stunt. And I think bar associations would care much more about finding out that you concealed something like this from them than they are about the incident itself as long as you told them about it--being forthcoming about it and dumping a bunch of good character references at them would probably smooth it over for most people.

Yes, the worst situation is to not disclose and be found out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things here. One, let's not pretend there isn't a whole rash of other admitted as holes without an entire political party behind them making a resurgence of late. Two, let's not pretend the GOP doesn't have a literal platoon of eager, young chodes that would slit their mother's throat to be a supreme court justice who haven't probably raped someone. It would take them minutes to replace Kavanagh with the next eager lickspittle Democrats couldn't pin this to, and yet they won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay? That doesn't change the fact that most people who have sexual assault accusations leveled against them aren't GOP politicians and will have it cause a ton of problems for them.

Is the accused a well-off white man or a poor black man? That kinda makes a significant difference to the outcome in this society. And your motion is denied. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
