Lie detector tests mean nothing, that's why fools believe in them. Is anyone supposed to be surprised that someone passes a test administered by someone paid for by an activist President Trump hating lawyer. Of course Ford would have mentioned if she had failed the test.

His prerogative. Lie detector tests are far from infallible. Who conducted hers? A firm chosen and financed by her attorney I expect.

I'm no fan of his, but they really aren't that reliable, which is why they are inadmissible in court. Moreover, it's quite possible that they are both firmly convinced they are telling the truth. If he was drinking so much that he doesn't remember assaulting her -- well, a polygraph isn't going to show he's lying.

Fors is a liar and a fraud. I don't need her to take a lie dectctor test to tell me that.

I think there are some problems with that. You have to keep in mind that this isn't a criminal investigation, it's a job interview. And the idea that in order to get a seat on the supreme court you have to sit down for a lie detector test. I don't know, it just doesn't seem right.

Judging by his mannerisms in the hearings, I don't think he'd pass. If I was his lawyer I'd tell him not to sit down for a lie detector test.

Polygraphs are not as accurate as the public perception. That's why they're not used in court rooms as evidence.

Same reason NO OTHER person needs to do it.

I don't know… Maybe Ford and Kavanaugh could use a Ouija board. It is about as accurate as a polygraph.

Because they don't work correctly 100% of the time. But lets say they work 98% of the time. If he was determined to be telling the truth by the test, you would just assume he was in that 2%. Plus you also have to remember that if you tell yourself a lie enough times you truly believe it as the truth making a lie detector unable to discern the truth from a lie.
