How can Kavanaugh go first and "tell his side of the story" if the story doesn't exist?

People for some reason have it in their brains that this event happened, and there is a discrepancy as to what actually took place and it's a case of her saying something happened and he's saying something didn't happen.

How can Kavanaugh give "his side of the story" first if he is truly innocent and this story is a complete fabrication? Or at least Kavanaugh was not involved or even at this party? There would be no side of the story to tell.

It would be like trying to prove that you weren't at fault for a car accident that never took place. It's impossible.

His side of the story is that it didn't happen.

If he engages the interaction as if it had some kind of validity, even explaining it in a very benign and dismissive kind of way, he has already submitted. If, in fact (and I do think that it is 99.9% likely to be fact), nothing happened, then there is absolutely no reason to address the matter seriously.

This is why the accuser always goes first...to lay out the accusation. In a system of due process, the accused has the right to know what exactly he’s being accused of, otherwise he can’t mount a defense.

How can any straight male vote Democrat when lunatics like Gillibrand, the Hawaiian Senator and the Third Wave feminists believe men are guilty upon mere accusation?

Fortunately, we aren't in a Kafkaesque world, at least for someone as esteemed as Kavanaugh.

The more this shite drags out the less credible the bitch is.

If you have something to say, finally after 36 years... just frickin say it.

MY guess is that the Dems are including this knowing that Grassley will say no and then Ford can say that she didn't testify because of the Repubs. It's a ploy to get her out of having to testify under oath.

People of European descent are the absolute worst perpetrators of moral virtue signalling in the entire world. If someone, through education and socialization, thinks that some kind of hemophobia and self-flagellation is what they're supposed to do, they will do it.

It is only at the last hour of robbing moral agency of white males, through propaganda and reinforcement, that the soyest of cucks will begin to see that they are being targeted, too.

If he goes first, all he has to say is, "Since the accuser cannot give a definitive time or location of this supposed event, it is impossible for me to provide an alibi. But I categorically state that I have never sexually assaulted any woman in my life." Drops mic.

I'm a straight female who has some common sense and I don't believe a word she says and to go a little further: I hope she loses everything and has to live in a cardboard box in San Fran for the rest of her lying life.

Fewer and fewer are. White and black. Say “adios” to a couple of Democratic senators.

Yes. I mean that in a very relaxed sense - like ethnomasochism or some other contrived word.

While I agree with most of your rebuttal, I don't think "alibi" would be the right word to use in this instance. Something more like "it is impossible for me to provide information about something that supposedly occurred on some arbitrary date at some arbitrary location without knowing the specifics of the date and location. However; I categorically....."

It's semantics, but to me the word "alibi" has always had a negative connotation.

This would be my testimony.

"I went to numerous parties throughout high school and was intoxicated at many of them. I also kissed girls and groped a lot of boobs and more in high school, so if this committee wants me to admit to one particular instance, you're going to have to be a lot more specific about a date and location. Comprende?"

Well it shouldn't.

alibi; a claim or piece of evidence that one was elsewhere when an act, typically a criminal one, is alleged to have taken place.
If you're accused of a crime, and you were 2 states away when it happened, you have a legit alibi. It's not a dirty word that only criminals use.

It's like a bad game of clue.

Before you accuse professor Plum of murder..you don't mention which room...or with what weapon.. and you demand he defend himself.

You are correct it is not a dirty word. I should have been more clear in my statement.

IMHO it is a word for the defense attorney to use to have the defendant tell the story that is his alibi. I just think the defendant can tell his alibi without using the word alibi. Clear as mud now I'm sure.
