I hesitate to get into the Kavanaugh hearing controversy but many of the questions being raised deal with what you can expect from adolescent boys especially when they have been drinking. Boys will be boys. The statement seem to assume that immature drunk hormone fueled boys should somehow be excused for their excessively violent behavior. The question becomes where is the red line for what would we accept? Should we be accepting if someone beats their girl friend in a drunken state? Forcing yourself on someone against their will is an act of violence just as much as beating them. Like most men who do this they are never charged or have a criminal record.
A couple of points to remember in this "his said/she said" situation. Christine Ford's therapist has valided that she had this situation happen to her and Dr. Ford has passed a polygraph test. Will Kavanaugh take a polygraph test? Don't hold your breath.
P.S.
The Republicans didn't need to be dealing with another situation that could driving away women before the mid term election. Comes with the territory of having a leader who acknowledges being able to assault women because he was a celebrity. Giving up the high moral ground can hurt you on election day.
P.S. 1
So the Republicans are upset with the Democrats trying to delay a vote on confirmation. I seem to remember a Republican 10 month delay on filling this Court seat.
