Ah right, I'd totally forgotten that part. So I'm not particularly suspicious anymore. In any case, I think a crime, conducted 50 years ago or 50 seconds ago, is still a crime and should still be treated as such. I'm pretty surprised at my dad's point of view.

This whole situation is sad. I feel bad for his children and his wife but what's even worse is that not one of the kavanaugh supporters on this thread has shown any empathy for Dr. Ford's children.

It's terribly sad for many reasons.
Kavanaugh's family.
Ford's family.
Women in general who are getting the message yet again, loud and clear, that we don't matter.
Sexual assault survivors who are getting the message yet again, loud and clear, that we don't matter and our story doesn't matter, and that if we report, we will be scrutinized, ridiculed, blamed and discredited.
People insisting that this is a partisan issue.
People insisting that Democrats believe her and disbelieve him, rather than everyone wanting to just know the fucking truth.
Senators who say unabashedly that even if Kavanaugh did what Ford said he did, they'd vote him in anyway.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.

The sadness is mostly on Feinstein. This could have been handled more timely and discreetly if she had done it properly.

I see you're still willing to completely blame this on the democrats despite the other things that have gone wrong with this nominee and the confirmation hearings.
I guess there really is no level of low that you'll stoop to in order to be right.

To mermaid...and men who watch thinking that if they can do it to a man like that what chance does a guy like me stand?
This is not a hypothetical. I know men who were falsely accused by female employees. Fortunately they had strong alibi s and the women had histories of making false accusations.
