Fred, you are too gratuitous in your Valentine's tirade for Kavanaugh. He cannot go gently into that DARK NIGHT!!!! I hope he suffers in hell for all his misdeeds. But, I thank you for your efforts.
Pepper, I was surprised at your response. Remember, I wrote that in 2018 when he was under attack with false allegations. What misdeeds are you referring to?
I have very mixed feelings about this whole Me Too movement. On the one hand I want to believe victims of sexual assault but on the other hand before a man or woman’s entire life is ruined, I really think there needs to be hard evidence supporting the claim. I know that many women (especially years ago when women were able to be intimidated into silence and law enforcement and judges did little to support them) felt helpless confronting and turning in their abusers. It seems as though the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction and there are now women who were not just using their sexuality to get ahead but in some cases using untrue sexual harassment charges to manipulate the system and get ahead. The time has come that women should speak out immediately when crimes or abuse occur. Waiting until a man suddenly has money or power to bring up accusations appears self serving and opportunistic.
I agree with everything you wrote. Accusations 36 years later that cannot be substantiated is not enough to convict. The same could be said for Trump who was accused of rape in a fitting room at an expensive clothing store. Trump can afford any kind of sex he desires; why attack someone in a very public place? Kavanaugh had a squeaky-clean record, including six vettings by the FBI. Several female Democrat senators said they believed her, in spite of accusing Kavanaugh of smething he alledgedly did in high school.
Pepper, If I'm remembering correctly, Democrats insisted that he be vetted for the sixth time by the FBI. They knew the first five investigations found nothing, neither did the sixth. What lie did he make? His accuser could lie about his sexual crimes when he was in high school. She could not produce a single witness to support her contention. She didn't know where the party was or how she got there. Etc.

His lying under oath which is abhorrent for a SCOTUS. The evidence from the FBI was denied.
