So sayeth the lying Libtards who would deny a proven good man due process and destroy his life based on false ( or completely unverifiable) accusations from alleged events of the distant past . As a woman my husband and my friends treat me accordingly. Radical feminists however are so hate filled they are beyond respect by anyone.

@TexChik This wasn't a trial, it was a job interview in effect, therefore due process doesn't apply. Denying a man a seat on the Supreme Court is hardly "ruining his life". You're so concerned about Judge Kavanaugh's life being ruined, and yet you don't seem to care that he ruined the life of Dr. Ford.

@GunSmoke9 I'm pretty sure she remembered that he dry humped her and tried to take her clothes off.
"What’s striking about the Kavanaugh case is that the evidence we saw at the hearing was more significant than what is presented in many criminal trials where a guilty verdict is returned. Dr. Ford’s credible testimony, her statements making this accusation years earlier, and her lack of motive to lie, especially compared to the incentives for her to stay silent, would be legally sufficient to sustain a criminal conviction for attempted rape. And that does not even consider the substantiating evidence provided by Kavanaugh’s friend Mark Judge’s autobiographical novel, Kavanaugh’s own crude yearbook statements and his evasiveness during questioning. If this were a mugging, we might just say 'case closed.'" http://time.com/5413814/he-said-she-said-kavanaugh-ford-mitchell/
Furthermore, it has been found that the rate of false accusations of rape are about the same as for any other crime like mugging, robbery, or physical assault: 2-6%. We generally believe people who claim to be victims of those crimes, why not also generally believe people who claim to have been sexually assaulted?

@GunSmoke9 I believe what you mean is that no witnesses saw the alleged sexual assault taking place. So what? Corroboration is no longer a requirement to convict someone of rape. Plenty of potential witnesses like Mark Judge and the other two accusers were simply not called to testify.

@GunSmoke9 As I already stated, she remembered that he dry humped her and tried to take her clothes off. Also as I already stated, plenty of witnesses like Mark Judge and the other two accusers were simply not called to testify. So yes, there were witnesses, and she does remember. She had enough evidence to potentially convict him of attempted rape in a court of law. And what exactly is your point here anyway? That he "didn't" ruin her life because she supposedly can't prove he did? Or that this is the kind of guy that we should have on the Supreme Court?
