I bought a 12-pack of Budweiser in aluminum bottles so I can pour half into a frozen glass and the reseal the bottle. So the answer is one 8-oz Bud.
Have you? (ever blacked out from drinking?)
No, can't say I have.
But I've been hammered more than once...enough about me
Not a single witness backed up Dr. Ford.
Not one piece of evidence.
Shame on the Democrats.
Confirm Brett Kavanaugh
The Judge rightly called out the politics of ‘search and destroy.’
Thursday’s Senate hearing on Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination was an embarrassment that should have never happened. Judge Kavanaugh was right to call the confirmation process a “disgrace” in his passionate self-defense, and whatever one thinks of Christine Blasey Ford’s assault accusation, she offered no corroboration or new supporting evidence.
Ms. Ford certainly was a sympathetic witness—by her own admission “terrified” at the start and appearing to be emotionally fragile. Her description of the assault and its impact on her was wrenching. She clearly believes what she says happened to her. Her allegation should have been vetted privately, in confidence, as she said she would have preferred. Instead ranking Democrat Dianne Feinstein held it for six weeks and it was leaked—perhaps to cause precisely such a hearing circus.
Yet there is still no confirming evidence beyond her own testimony, and some of what she says has been contradicted. The female friend Ms. Ford says was at the home the night of the assault says she wasn’t there. The number of people she says were there has varied from four to five and perhaps more, but every potential witness she has cited by name says he or she doesn’t recall the party.
She still can’t recall the home where the assault took place, how she got there or how she got home that evening. She has no witnesses who say she told them about the alleged assault at the time—until she first spoke of it at a couples therapy session 30 years later in 2012. Mr. Kavanaugh’s name doesn’t appear in the notes of her therapist.
As for Judge Kavanaugh, his self-defense was as powerful and emotional as the moment demanded. If he was angry at times, imagine how you would feel if you were so accused and were innocent as he says he is. To deny the allegations as he did—invoking his children and parents and so many others who know him—and be lying would mean that he is a sociopath. If he were found to be lying, he would be impeached and probably prosecuted. Nothing in his long record in public life betrays the kind of behavior he is accused of against women.
Had he not been as forceful, his opponents would have said he looked guilty. Because he called the Democrats out for their character assassination, the critics now say he lacks the right temperament. The truth is that there is no answer, and no demeanor, that Brett Kavanaugh could offer that the left would credit. Their goal isn’t the truth. They want to destroy Judge Kavanaugh.
Republican Senators turned over their questioning of Ms. Ford to a trained prosecutor from Arizona, who attempted to clarify facts and fill holes in her testimony. Democrats showed zero interest in getting any facts from Ms. Ford. They spent their question time saying they believed Ms. Ford while badgering Republican Chairman Chuck Grassley to call other witnesses.
Yet those potential witnesses have all given sworn statements to Senate staff under penalty of felony that say they don’t recall the party or the alleged assault. Hauling them before the Senate wouldn’t illuminate the truth any more than Thursday’s hearing did.
Incredibly, Democrats spent their time with Judge Kavanaugh asking about drinking games and lines in his high school yearbook. Once Senator Lindsey Graham made that look foolish (see below), Democrats focused on their only other argument, which is that the FBI should investigate. But they well know the FBI would merely repeat the interviews they and the Senate Judiciary staff have already done.
***
The real Democratic goal is to push a confirmation vote past Election Day. They can then spare their incumbents running for re-election from taking a difficult vote. If they win the election, they will then try to block any confirmation until they take over the Senate in January. No nominee to the right of Merrick Garland would then be confirmed in the final two years of the Trump Presidency. The Supreme Court would be divided 4-4 until 2021 at least.
Senate Republicans should understand that these are the real political stakes. This nomination isn’t only about the fate of a single man whose reputation can be discarded like some tabloid celebrity. This is about the future of the Supreme Court and who will control the Senate. If Republicans reject Mr. Kavanaugh based on what we know now, millions of voters will rightly be furious.
But as important, a rejection will bring dishonor to the Senate. It will validate the ambush and smear politics that Democrats are using. And it will turn Supreme Court nominations over to the justice of the social-media mob and the politics of accusation. It’s time for Senators to stand up and confirm Brett Kavanaugh.

We should know more tomorrow after the other witnesses testify, some of them friends of Dr. Ford and some of them friends of Judge Kavanaugh.
What's that? No more testimony? No more investigations? Because the committee won't allow it?
Shame on the Republicans.
Look at the facts Magoo, they matter more than your hate for Trump...you're pathetic.
There is no evidence of a crime other than what Ford claimed happened.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christine Blasey Ford has claimed that four other people attended a small gathering at which she was allegedly assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh. Three of those people, PJ Smyth, Mark Judge, and Kavanaugh, have already denied any recollection of attending such a party.
On Saturday night, Leland Ingham Keyser, a classmate of Ford's at the all-girls school Holton-Arms and her final named witness, denied any recollection of attending a party with Brett Kavanaugh.
"Simply put, Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford," lawyer Howard J. Walsh said in a statement sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
CNN reports that " Keyser is a lifelong friend of Ford's."
Keyser previously coached golf at Georgetown University and is now executive producer of Bob Beckel's podcast. Keyser is the ex-wife of Beckel, a former Democratic operative and commentator. A search on OpenSecrets.org reveals Keyser's only political donation has been to former Democratic senator Byron Dorgan.
Keyser's denial, as a female lifelong friend and Ford's last named witness, is the most consequential development that has occurred since Ford publicly stepped forward last Sunday and detailed her allegations to the Washington Post. Ford's allegation of the 1982 incident was told to no one until a 2012 therapy session, when Kavanaugh was first touted in the media as the most likely GOP Supreme Court nominee.
All of Ford's named witnesses of the party, both male and female, have now denied any recollection of attending such a party.

I'm going to go out on a limb and decide that you haven't been to law school since you don't know the meaning of "hearsay". This was sworn testimony under risk of prosecution for perjury. (Heck, even a good education in English would have covered that). The fact that the two sides gave contradictory testimony is not unusual - that's why we have juries - to decide which version of the facts is more believable. As I have pointed out before, there are three levels of "jury" in this case - the committee vote tomorrow (unless something happens overnight), the full Senate vote soon (ditto), and the November election vote (which will happen no matter what the committee and the Senate decide, and for which the die has been pretty much cast today - at least on this topic).
If you want to feel better about Judge k's situation, you might find solace in the fact that he helped overrule a jury verdict soon after he became part of the DC Circuit Court. The jury had decided that a cop lied about killing a man in self-defense and awarded his family some money.
There are plenty of people who have provided "evidence" in news stories that supports Dr. Ford's position. Is your news source so limited that you haven't heard about those stories?
The Committee refuses to allow those people to testify under oath, or even to allow the FBI to check out those stories. Shame on the Republicans on the Committee.
In my recent hospital visit, I had an MRI, a couple of CT scans, and an EEG on my brain. They found nothing wrong.

No wonder she lost.
I find solace in the truth Magoo.
You care not about the truth. The truth is, there is no physical evidence or witnesses that can corroborate what Ford claimed happened.
The four people allegedly at the party, including Dr. Ford’s longtime friend Ms. Keyser, have said they recall no such event. Her buddy said under penalty of felony that she does not know Kavanaugh and does not believe she ever saw him at a party, ever.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has allowed a reopening of Brett Kavanaugh‘s Supreme Court confirmation hearing, with invitations to both him and Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing him of attempted sexual assault. Those on both sides of the aisle are eager to hear what each might say when they are under oath, with potential perjury charges looming over possible false statements.
As it turns out, Kavanaugh already put himself at risk for possible charges, even if he doesn’t testify next week. According to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), the nominee sat down this past Monday with Republican staff for a “transcribed interview,” and Kavanaugh “understood that he was under penalty of felony, if he was not truthful.” That could either mean that Kavanaugh made his statements under oath, or it could refer to the statute prohibiting giving false statements to investigators. Grassley said that Democratic staff was invited, but they declined to participate.

The hippocampus is a small organ located within the brain's medial temporal lobe and forms an important part of the limbic system, the region that regulates emotions. The hippocampus is associated mainly with memory, in particular long-term memory. The organ also plays an important role in spatial navigation.
I usually consume other 8 oz, which has been kept cold and fizzy in its sealed bottle, later in the afternoon - such as right now.
