New sexual misconduct standard: “the accusation itself is sufficient evidence of guilt”

This is a pretty good article about the current situation with the Supreme Court nominee – doesn't take very long to read. The comparison is to an allegation (ultimately dismissed) against Al Gore in 2009.

In the coming days, you’re likely to hear a lot of sneering about wealthy and privileged white guys who attended prep schools and the Ivy Leagues, a lot of fuming about how anyone with a background like Brett Kavanaugh’s — mother who is a judge, father who is a head of a perfume-maker’s trade association, Georgetown Prep, Yale University — must be arrogant, entitled, smug, and elitist. Of course, that background is hard to distinguish from Al Gore’s — father who is a senator, mother who is a lawyer, living in the Fairfax Hotel on Embassy Row in Washington, attending Saint Albans prep school and going on to Harvard University. Apparently, we only hate the preppies when they’re in the other party.

    Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison has been accused of sexual assault by a former girlfriend but Democrats are taking zero action against him and flat out don’t believe her. With Judge Kavanaugh, they go all out and attack him for an alleged 35 year old incident and an accusation where the accuser does not recall major details. It seems like they just pick and choose what they want and don’t care about women being harmed at all. If they can destroy a great person’s career like Judge Kavanaugh, that should be a wake up call to all Americans. It is a very dangerous precedent.
