1) If Kavanaugh confirmed, 2/9 Supreme Court justices will have been (credibly) accused of sexual assault (Clarence Thomas / Anita Hill = the other one). They will decide sexual rights for millions of women.
2) It doesn’t make sense to me that we treat appointment to the most powerful public office in the USA by the same standard as a criminal trial. In other words, of course the standard for a man who will determine the sexual rights of millions of women should be higher than a man in a criminal court. Innocent until proven guilty isn’t how we should run elections/court appointments for damn good reason. We should find people *not* accused of sexual assault and move on from there. So be it if we lose a Kavanaugh or two, I’ll live with that risk.
3) False convictions are a real problem, but ironically *not* in rape cases by incredibly powerful white men. Wrongful convictions are overwhelmingly perpetrated against black people. IE “Representing 13% of the US population, black people make up 47% of the 1,900 exonerations that were studied” - from a 2017 study. So if you are so concerned about wrongful conviction, start speaking out about black wrongful conviction, rather than Supreme Court justices.
4) Why would this woman lie to a therapist years ago about sexual assault in the hope that someday Kavanaugh might become a Supreme Court Justice?
