      Good piece by @NGrossman81 at @ArcDigi, though I don't agree with every pointhttps://arcdigital.media/brett-kavanaugh-is-a-liar-and-44-other-things-i-believe-17db67de2532?sk=6341e66ebaca65f5f941524a74500fff …

      Why should I care what someone believes if they don't give reasons? Recalling no party is refutation insofar as that is possible. You can't actively recall a non-party. This is exactly what people mean when they say it's impossible to prove a negative.

      It's easy to prove a negative. That's what an alibi does in criminal trials. People saying "I don't remember" is neither corroboration nor refutation. It casts some doubt on an accusation, but does not refute it.

      To do that you need a time and place. It's impossible to have an alibi with no time and place.

      I'm glad to see we agree that "it's impossible to prove a negative" was incorrect.

      Glad to see you agree that in this situation given the specific question he's being asked, it is impossible to prove a negative.

      Me too. I never suggested otherwise. We're not going to get clear proof, one way or the other, but we're going to have to make a decision anyway. I talked about "refuted" in the article because Kavanaugh said the accusations have been refuted and that's incorrect.

          Aside from interviewing Mark Judge, I don't expect the FBI to come up with anything that anyone finds interesting, and Judge will likely just repeat what he has already submitted to the committee.

          It means he should be confirmed, or at least that this accusation should not prevent confirmation. It would be incredibly ironic for a justice in the United States of America of all places not to be confirmed because he was assumed guilty unless proven innocent.
