By all accounts, Kavanugh is as close to a boy scout as you can find in Washington.
That's not saying much. Congress has its fair share of folks with criminal records, history of drug abuse, infidelities and failed marriages, and a hotbed of bribery.
Married father, goes to church, coaches his daughters' basketball team, the whole nine yards. Nominated and appointed to numerous important government jobs in the past; thoroughly investigated as part of the process. His co-workers love him. His ex's all say that he is a 'perfect gentleman'.
Again, that's really not saying much. The fact that he gets praise for such is a problem. Why are your standards so low?
Squeaky clean record. Yet, his life and career are about to be destroyed by a single, unproven allegation from 36 years ago.
Although confirmation seems likely, how is a Federal judge potentially not getting one of the most powerful positions in the United States government classify as "life being destroyed?"
Kavanaugh is a conservative judge nominate by Trump. If Kavanaugh is appointed, he will tilt the balance of the Supreme Court towards conservatism for decades. He will be the tie-breaking vote on cases involving highly controversial social issues, like abortion and the Second Amendment. His appointment will, quite literally, have a profound impact of the future political direction of the country.
The balance of the Supreme Court has been conservative for the last two decades. Replacing Kennedy doesn't change it at all.
Kavanaugh’s accuser is a liberal, pvssy hat wearing professor from California. She is a registered Democrat, attended anti-Trump protests, and considers herself part of the 'resistance'.
Insulting her political views does not discredit her testimony.
The liberals have been freaking out about the Kavanaugh nomination and trying to do everything in their power to thwart it. Three days prior to the confirmation vote, the Democrats release the accuser's letter containing an allegation about something that allegedly happened in high school while Kavanaugh was teenager -- an allegation that is impossible to prove as much as it is impossible to disprove. Any intellectually honest person, regardless of their political leanings, can put two and two together and conclude that this is a hit job.
No, that is your incredibly biased speculation, as evidenced by your previous comment. "Liberals" freaked out about Neil Gorsuch, yet no misdeeds were brought against him. Why not pick a better nominee? A real "gentleman?"
Yet, Democrat men are perfectly happy to throw Kavanaugh under the bus, even though they could very easily become victims of similar false allegations themselves.
Here's a thought - if you don't rape women, you won't have rape allegations.
Women stick together and push the narrative that female accusers must always be believed. But men are all too happy to use made up allegations to destroy their opponents, even if, by doing so, they are digging their own graves. Any time you need to destroy a man’s reputation, all you need to do is find a female willing to accuse him of something…anything sexually inappropriate. And if the man is in a high-profile position, his accuser will become an overnight celebrity herself. TV interviews, book deals, countless likes on social media…being treated as a ‘hero’ of the Me Too movement. While I’d like to think that most women would not invent fake sexual assault/harassment allegations to gain celebrity status, there is no doubt in my mind that there are many who would.
Like I said, if you don't criminally mistreat women, you don't get criminal allegations. It's not hard to not rape women. Just don't do it. You're whining like a ***** about how men you are guilty of sexual misdeeds can't get away with it as easily as they used to.
I predict that there will be an epidemic of false allegations over the next decade…to a point where they will become commonplace as kind of modern day witch hunt. Initially, it will be limited to high profile politicians and celebrities but it will eventually trickle down into mainstream society.
The majority of the allegations won't be false, pal. There is no incentive for a woman to throw away her own reputation and career to damage a man just for ****s and giggles. These women have just as much to lose.
Any one of you is a potential future victim.
Wrong. If you don't rape women, you won't be accused as such.
Any girl you have ever dumped or pissed off for some reason could one day wake up and decide that, for the past 20 years, she has been suppressing memories of some terrible thing you did one night when you were drunk at some party in high school or college. And then she will share her “Me Too experience” on social media. She will get attention, sympathy and many likes. And you will get fired from your job without an investigation or due process. Or worse.
You really have a convoluted mind if you think a women would literally throw her own life away to possibly get retribution on a man from 20 years ago.
Get out of your frightened bubble and man up.
