And as an attorney, I’m still trying to figure out the nexus for a university to investigate your private life for incidents unrelated to, say, a witnessed violation like cheating on an exam or when adjudicating a victim report.Ad in the latter, honor code is entirely unrelated - there should be a Chinese wall.

Just reading through all of this very difficult reporting now, but as a former Federal sex crimes prosecutor, that language was so obviously deliberate. Facts and circumstances is legal language meaning all the various contributing factors to establish scientia or knowledge. They treat this as if students, young…

To say this, you don’t know Cruz. This is intentional symbolism - he’s just a very awkward, weird person who has no ability to relate to other human beings. And he’s a crazy micro-manager. He would have at least been briefed, but very likely at a minimum pre-reads his speeches.

MARYLAND. Sheesh, it’s like you people don’t even drive here. It’s Maryland drivers IN DC who are the problems.

First of all, Maryland drivers are THE worst, guy, c’mon. It’s like you didn’t even drive here at all not knowing that.

As a former prosecutor, let me assure you, “hate crimes” are not favored by prosecutors. The law was lobbied into being by victims rights groups. I’d argue it’s a breath from unconstitutional, but all “hate crime” does is increase penalties or provide an aggravating circumstance. So let’s say a group of men beat up a…

Actually, to make your point, you’d have to argue that patriarchy IS personal, not political. If it’s apolitical, then it’s specific pertaining to a circumstance, but you can’t call it not general and also not specific. Unless you’re just arguing it’s random.

“o long as she’s not being an asshole about it?” What the almighty hell does that mean? You get to spend her earned money as you like with no parameters?

You’re a real piece of work.

Childish? Sweetheart, you gotta toughen up or you’re gonna have a tough year. Politics don’t involve emotions. They aren’t for the faint of heart. Your overly sensitive replies here show that you’re a bit green (and that you may not know much about Mrs. Clinton).

But it wasn’t an idle mistake. It was an atrociously absurd thing to attribute to people who absolutely effected the death of countless Americans due to bigotry. And anyone of any age, let’s call it 25 - 90 knows that. And if for example, you are that unaware and didn’t know it, all you’d ever have to have done is…

So she apologized then went on to lecture all of us about the truth, a truth most people were aware of and informed her of? God, I’m so sick of her bumbling and lopsided tactics. I know we have to love her or else it’s the end of America and Western civilization, but she is stunningly unimpressive.

That’s my recollection!

He was the Chair of the Judiciary Committee during Thomas’ nomination, AKA, he held all the power during those hearings. He called the witnesses, he lead the way in every, single sense. Now, he ultimately did not vote to confirm Clarence Thomas, but if you ever watch the hearings, they were brutal, misogynist, but you…

For an entirely different reason. Don’t conflate the two, though your simple mind seems to be unable to recognize the difference.

Yes. Twice. One still contacts me via LinkedIn and work email, will create situations to run in to me for work-related issues, though we haven’t been in the same field for... 7 years? He’s very scary. The second physically harmed me so that I ran from his apartment, leaving my things behind, and should have gone…

Right? He was obviously drawing people into these debates to show-off (?), attempt to impress (?), but rather than try to woo co-eds, he stooped to attacking them? That is... twisted and kind of dark. I fight for a living, but it’s not personal. Never personal, in fact. And most days, I still tired of the arguing.…

I watched today’s hearing (occupational hazard) and Members lit that place up. The agencies sent witnesses who were not employed during the time of wrong doing (an old Washington trick) but what I think most people fail to recognize is this Committee’s jurisdiction. Oversight has broad, flexible power and subpoena…

The case will be retried.

I love you. This is hilarious.
