民主自由要求知识分子用自己的生命来捍卫

我出于一个公民的责任才站出来 穷则思变

Nothing changes. History repeats until lessons learned. - The angry face of Clarence Thomas still vividly up on the air - exactly identical to this one:


"Every goddamn woman alive knows this happens all the time and she’s telling the truth. Deep down, every goddamn man knows it too, because it’s either happened to a woman they know—or because they were the ones doing it." - Celeste Ng

"Fox News' CHRIS WALLACE says in wake of Kavanaugh allegations "two of my daughters have told me stories that I have never heard before about things that happened in high school & hadn't told their parents... I don't this we can disregard Ford and the seriousness of this." (Aaron Rupar)


Anita Hill，J.D.，Esq, and Christine Blasey Ford, PhD, set up a model of courage, to defend freedom, for civic duty, for the public course, to grill government officials to keep integrity.

Anita Hill，J.D.，Esq和Christine Blasey Ford博士建立了一个勇气，捍卫自由，公民义务，公共课程，烧烤政府官员以保持诚信的模式。

在Anita Hill，J.D,，Esq,的听证会上, 和克拉伦斯托马斯（最高司法），我听到了整个过程，因为我的伙伴正在倾听。

非常科学的问题，简洁，预见，直截了当 -

“我们忘记了事情，但最让你难忘的是什么？”

“这两个男孩在攻击我时分享的笑声 - (((“这两个男孩在攻击我时分享的笑声 - ”（老实说，这就是我记得那些坏人 - 他们“吵闹的笑声”的攻击。我认为那是一种毁灭性的记忆 - 现在，记者证实了这一点：

 

“Christine Blasey Ford的证词中最强大的时刻之一
当被问及她对Brett Kavanaugh涉嫌袭击事件的最强烈记忆时，福特说：“两人之间的喧闹笑声，以及他们以牺牲我自己的利益为乐。”作者：By German Lopez @ germanrlopez)))

所有汽车电台实时报道听证会，我无法避免，提醒我

“随着数百万人在电视上观看，福特告诉美国最高委员会民主党人，加利福尼亚参议员黛安娜·范斯坦，她”每天都在痛苦地抱怨这个涉嫌数十年的袭击事件“。她说，她担心个人后果将类似于“在火车前跳跃。”“

我的观察：

1）她担心自己的生命：听到她用摇晃的声音说出的话 -
民主或自由要求知识分子用自己的生命来捍卫。福特博士是为了公众，为了社会的伟大历程而履行的公民义务。
2）自由成本（看视频，每个参议员，每个国会议员背后有多少助手)。https://news.google.com/articles/CAIiEJJMBR29l3Za_7_r1HmtwbYqFwgEKg8IACoHCAowlOzSATCaiDUwg7tz?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen
3）“普通垃圾” - 参议员林赛格雷厄姆说，就此案而言。
4）这是大卫对巨人歌利亚的现代表演 - 勇敢与生命威胁的恐惧。

结论：愿上帝保佑美国！只有上帝才能通过判断。


On the hearing of Anita Hill, J.D., Esq. and Clarence Thomas (Supreme justice) , I heard the entire proceeding as my lab mates listening.

Very scientific question, concise, prevision, straightforward -

"We forget things, but what's the most unforgettable happened to you?" 

"The laughter those two boys shared during attacking me -  " (Honest, that's how I remember those bad guys - their "uproarious laughter" attacking.  I thought that's a devastating memory - Now, it's confirmed by a reporter:

"One of the most powerful moments in Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony

 

 Asked about her strongest memory of Brett Kavanaugh’s alleged assault, Ford said, “The uproarious laughter between the two, and their having fun at my expense.” by By German Lopez@germanrlopez [e-mail] Sep 27, 2018, 11:55am EDT        (https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/9/27/17910200/christine-blasey-ford-brett-kavanaugh-senate-hearing-laughter)

All car radio stations real-time live reporting the hearing, I could not avoid that, reminding me of the

""With millions watching on television, Ford told the top committee Democrat, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, that she'd "agonized daily" over coming forward about the alleged decades-old attack. She said she feared the personal consequences would be akin to "jumping in front of a train."""

My observations:

1) She feared for her life: hearing out what she said in shaking voice -
democracy or freedom demands intellectuals to defend with their life. Dr Ford is for her civic duty, for the public, for great course of our society.
2) freedom costs (look at video, how many assistants behind each senator, each congressman.
3) "plain garbage" - Sen. Lindsey Graham said, on the case.
4) It's modern show of David took on Giant Goliath - courage with fear of life threatening.

Conclusion: May God bless America! Only God can pass the judgment and make the call.

The assault allegations matter most, but Kavanaugh just demonstrated he is partisan hack who does not belong on the Supreme Court — he attacked the Clintons, accused Klobuchar of abusing alcohol, shouted over Senators, and repeatedly attacked the free press. #KavanaughHearings

@JRubinBlogger 52m52 minutes ago

This will not end if Kavanaugh confirmed. The new congress will call and compel testimony from other witnesses. A Dem Congress could well vote to impeach. Bar complaints will be lodged vs. him. The next D president will expand the court. Kavanaugh willing to burn it all down.

"Susan Glasser‏Verified account @sbg1                    

there is an extraordinary juxtaposition here between Dr. Ford the accomplished scientist and grown woman she has become and the shaky voice of the 15yo she was when this happened, both present in this testimony

"And it is the US Senate, our own government, who are forcing this distinguished adult woman to come to them and re-inhabit and defend her 15-year-Old self for the nation. I am beyond words."

 

 

"I am here today not because I want to be. I am terrified. I believe it is my civic duty to tell you what happened," Dr. Ford says holding back tears. #KavanaughHearings.
"She is incredibly brave and I hope she can feel support from the country. "
"The terror in Ford’s voice is gut wrenching. If you’re still questioning her motive, consider why a woman would put herself under this scrutiny if it wasn’t true."
"Yes they would. Trauma isn't something you want to commit to the memory, you want to forget it."
"I can't imagine how much courage this must take. It's sad and shameful that women have to be this strong and go through this much."
"You can feel the pain in her voice. This is heartbreaking and brutal."
"Heartbreaking to watch her tell her story."
"Grassley’s diatribe, with Dr. Ford sitting there captive, is clearly designed to rattle her. It’s a powerful man trying to diminish a far less powerful woman. It’s a capsule summary of everything that’s going on here." "I’m shaking here watching. There needs to be term limits. Grassley was there during the Anita Hill testimony and he is still in the wrong. Vote Him Out!!!" "My stomach's in a knot for Dr. Blasey Ford, sad - and angry - that she has to sit & listen to Grassley immediately jump in to misrepresent the events, belittle & demean her trauma & lie through his teeth about Kavanaugh. Grassley is why women keep their experiences to themselves."
"What a brave woman! Completely out of her comfort zone but still strong enough to take on the establishment and her monster!"
"Cruelty is revealed when power is unchecked"
"After reading both accounts of her assault, she is so credible and such a courageous woman that it will likely fuel her. In the end I believe it will be obvious this is a farce and Dr. Ford will be further validated. We see this eyes wide open and we believe what we see."
"Senator Bob Menendez,?Verified account? @SenatorMenendez   · Searing. Powerful. Brave.  The details of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony are heart-wrenching to hear. I hope every single Senator not only watches, but listens.  Thank you Dr. Ford for your courage. "

That caught my attention on the impact of this process -
"Rep. Pramila Jayapal‏?Verified account? @RepJayapal  "Dr. Blasey Ford’s account of claustrophobia and the second front door is chilling and real. The effects of sexual assault and trauma continue in so many minor and major ways. #KavanaughHearings"

Ford questioned about anxieties, fear of flying

LATEST NEWS: The prosecutor at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing questioning Christine Blasey Ford about her allegation of sexual assault has asked about her fear of flying.

Attorney Rachel Mitchell asked Ford about her anxieties. Ford acknowledged Thursday a discomfort with airplanes but said she was "able to get up the gumption" and fly from California to Washington for the hearing. She said she's also taken planes for vacations.

Asked if other factors in her life could be causing anxiety, Ford said there was "nothing as striking" as the event with Kavanaugh.

Ford alleges Kavanaugh assaulted her when they were teens. He denies the allegation.

 

With millions watching on television, Ford told the top committee Democrat, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, that she'd "agonized daily" over coming forward about the alleged decades-old attack. She said she feared the personal consequences would be akin to "jumping in front of a train."

In fact, both she and Kavanaugh have received death threats.

Republicans have challenged Ford's and the other women's allegations, in part because it took them years to come forward. But when Feinstein asked her how she could be sure that Kavanaugh was the attacker, Ford said, "The same way I'm sure I'm talking to you right now."

Slide 1 of 80: Christine Blasey Ford (C) is sworn in before testifying the Senate Judiciary Committee with her attorneys Debra Katz (L) and Michael Bromwich (R) in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill September 27, 2018 in Washington, DC. A professor at Palo Alto University and a research psychologist at the Stanford University School of Medicine, Ford has accused Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her during a party in 1982 when they were high school students in suburban Maryland. In prepared remarks, Ford said, ÒI donÕt have all the answers, and I donÕt remember as much as I would like to. But the details about that night that bring me here today are ones I will never forget. They have been seared into my memory and have haunted me episodically as an adult.Ó

Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh decided that to have any chance to reach the court, he would have to shed the pretense he was a fair-minded, calm, judicious thinker. He came out in the afternoon filled with venom, screaming at the committee.

During Thursday’s dramatic questioning of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, he was quizzed repeatedly about the calendars he provided to bolster his case that he didn’t assault Christine Blasey Ford while a high school student in 1982.

Ford alleges that she attended a party at someone’s home that summer, where, she alleges, Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge pushed her into a bedroom and locked the door and where Kavanaugh then began to try to remove her clothes. Among the others at the party, Ford alleged, was another friend of Kavanaugh’s named P.J. Smyth. Kavanaugh denies the allegation and told Fox News' Marth MacCallum that while he might have met Ford, he didn’t know her. Judge said in a statement that he doesn’t remember any such party. Smyth made a similar statement.

It was Kavanaugh’s hope that providing those calendars would show that he attended no such gathering. He insisted, in his testimony Thursday, that any party of the sort must have been on a weekend (since he and his friends had jobs) and that the calendars showed that essentially all of the weekends were booked with other activities. (His friend Mark Judge, in a memoir about his past drinking problem, wrote that this wasn’t a concern of his: He’d regularly show up at work hung over or drunk.)
