If these women refuse to speak up for 36 years, and then remain silent when the FBI did those 6 exhaustive background checks on Kavanaugh, when will we begin to identify false witnesses and punish them?

The #MeToo movement was entirely predicated on powerful men preying on young women vying for jobs which these same powerful men could provide them. Think Harvey Weinstein of Miramax. That is the sole reason these young girls remained silent. Their careers were at stake.

A teenage Kavanaugh, however, had nothing to offer these woman to prevent them from reporting these crimes. Even if similar sexual "crimes" were reported, or any crime for that matter, and Kavanaugh was acquitted, either as a juvenile or an adult, then there would be some credibility to their complaints. But there has been none of that. By every account, examined 6x by the best investigative agents in the world, this judge led an exemplary and perfectly squeaky clean life until Senate hearings were concluded.

I informed 3 students today that their actions had eliminated them from any chance of being appointed to the Supreme Court 40 years from now.

I'm sorry I was not aware that Kavanaugh had been accused of a crime. Just saw the news, wow! Imagine the restraint of this woman knowing that the man involved in having her gang raped was being nominated to the Supreme court and not saying anything for 2 months.

Imagine how totally inept our FBI is that they never picked up on this!

The presumption of innocence does not work here. If Kavanaugh is innocent these women are guilty, if they are innocent he is guilty. This has to be investigated and the guilty parties must be held accountable.

But the days of civility are done, henceforth indiscretions committed by 15 year olds will be part of these hearings.
