Where's Kavanaugh's polygraph?

[PCIntern]

Here in Philly Frank Rizzo, neo-fascist, was brought down because he thought he could beat the polygraph test.

I’ll never forget the banner headline in the Daily News:

RIZZO LIED

test showed.

1. Very important question, especially now.

[Meadowoak]

2. Kavanaugh lied under oath 5 times, we already know hi is a liar!

[bluestarone]

3. If he testifies again he needs to be asked this

Are you willing to take polygraph test?

[Cicada]

4. Yes, Kavanaugh deserves a chance to prove his innocence. Hook him up.

[Cicada]

5. Give his high school friend the test too

6. You can't "give" someone a polygraph test.

they have to agree to take one, and I'm pretty sure they'll refuse.

Also, polygraphs aren't allowed as evidence in courts unless the person agrees to it, they're considered too unreliable.

9. They are allowed in civil court.

I took one on my divorce case and passéd it. Offered to pay for her. Short time latter she came up with the coin collection that she claimed I took. Ask my lawyer what the judge would think if she refused. She said he’d think she was lying.

10. They're allowed in criminal courts also as long

as the person taking it agrees to have it introduced into evidence.

My point is that one cannot be forced to take a polygraph against their will.

12. They are only allowed in around 18 states

The rest bar them from use in court due to their unreliability.

14. Thank you for that info,

I was under the impression that they were allowed in all states.
This is why I like DU, I learn something new every day.

7. If I recall accurately, Anita Hill passed a lie detector test

but Clarence Thomas declined to take one.
As well, four witnesses for Anita Hill were not heard.

I do not know why it is going to turn out differently this time unless witnesses for Ford go to the media.

8. Is it possible Kavanaugh and his friend were both so drunk...

they had blackouts and actually DON'T remember the assault and attempted rape and therefore could pass a polygraph?

I know nothing about polygraph tests or how they actually work.

[john657]

11. Polygraphs don't detect lies,

they detect stress to questions.

[ooky]

13. Republicans would try to fix it.

Probably one of the strategies Grassley/Trump/McConnell already discussing. Give him a lie detector test from an examiner who guarantees them he will find no lies.
