In reply to As far as Ford's accusations,

At random

o deprecation of he said/she said vs due process: most rape are unpunished almost by definition because they involve two unwitnessed individuals.Absent punishment what? .: A sponsored confrontation between alleged attacker and victim ? If he can't be punished at least force him to see what he did.

o the easy invocation of violence per se

o understandable decline of non-violence protest since Stokley Carmichael

o threats to public personalities as in Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford

o indulgence of overwrought legal reasoning .Kavanaugh's write of particulars to Ken Starr should

have been returned.

o limitation of protest language whether in front of an abortion clinic or in a senate elevator

o Not only the opposition but the majority from McConnell down knew Kavanaugh did it. Now the next shoe to drop. Kavanaugh was right once what goes around etc. God help us.

As far as Ford's accusations, I think it is an unfortunate coincidence that they synched with #MeToo rising in the culture at large. Because that enabled this to be waylaid into a culture wars fight as usual. When in reality, the case is that we had a sitting lower court judge applying for the job of Supreme Court and it didn't really matter what the accusation might be, as this was not a trial. Whatever accusation might be brought forth, say it had been something totally different in the youthful record but of criminal type or poor morals, for the job interview it became a test of judicial temperament. In which case: big fail on his part with nearly all of the legal profession that matters. And many of the previous questions about his record had already indicated a strong bias to partisan passion. So both sides got to play up this particular culture war--I'll leave it up to everyone else to decide whether that's good or bad--and what we got out of it for the Supreme Court is a pretty lousy Supreme Court judge as per most legal professionals. When most of them might have endorsed a different conservative. But with them we might not now have the majorly ramped up culture war. With women protestors screaming bloody murder on the Senate floor and banging on the Supreme Court door and righties toasting the appointment with beer as if the Supreme Court is gonna be a frat house now....
