Well, I believe evidence-based allegations.
To really understand the environment here in the US, think about the Salem Witch Trials in the 1690s. Mass hysteria, rules of evidence suspended, sentences mandated before trials took place, the rights of defendants to face their accusers denied.
The judge's fate will be determined by the prejudice each of us brings to his "case" and our subjective reaction to which of the two parties is the more "believable" -- by which we mean that party that most accords with our prejudices. Judge Kavenaugh's fate will, thus, be decided by a popularity contest held during an era of feminine triumphalism.
The start of Brett Kavanaugh’s tenure on the Supreme Court may look like a victory for one interest group or another. But, more importantly, it is putting a national focus on the issue of sexual assault – and how we as a country can and should do more to prevent it and to support those who have experienced it.
I'm impressed. It's surprisingly classy.
It's wrong that people think they should be able to put someone in prison, or even prevent their political appointment by slandering them with unproven allegations. This is the kind of attitude that leads to the excesses of Nazi Germany or Socialist Russia.
The Justice system as it stands protects everyone in America from arbitrary imprisonment.
