This is the only way I can see it. Seems BK is either guilty or a victim, depending on whether or not you support his nomination. And I get that this is a tricky situation with no concrete evidence, but it's becoming too big a spectacle even by today's standards (and even without Trump purposefully making it worse, like he usually does). Neither side seems to be considering the future being built.
An enigma of a man shaped hole in the wall between reality and the soul of the devil.

I'm such a fatalist when it comes to things like this. I think most of the checks in place to prevent this future from happening are illusions, and if there isn't some mechanism in our society to prevent it from happening, then it will certainly happen.
But I generally hate things like congressional norms with no legal binding and don't fault Republicans for ignoring them. That's as much on weak democrat leadership as anything. I kinda feel the same about weed legalization: make it legal, stop with this "technically illegal but we'll look the other way" nonsense.

I don't get the yearbook stuff either. You would think someone would have shut down stupid references to keg clubs and other juvenile bullshit. And this was some prestigious prep school?

the issue is not about evidence

there could be a video tape and the GOP would deny it to be factual
shameless self-interested power

Avenatti says that he has a client who knew Kavanaugh in high school and accused him of setting up girls to be raped.
"When the American people hear from her, they will determine, as I have, that she is to be believed," Avenatti said during a press conference Monday evening. Kavanaugh called that claim outrageous.
He has not identified the accuser yet but said that her name will be revealed within the next 48 hours. He offered some details on her background, including that she worked for the U.S. Mint, Justice Department and State Department.

I like that he confessed to being a virgin. The first two accusations are of a failed rape attempt and waving his dick in a girl's face. Both can be accomplished by virgins.
I would argue that Kavanaugh is unqualified because he doesn't know how evidence works.

This belongs in the midterms thread, but it is relevant here.
This is one of several polls out today that were taken in the period just before a second woman came forward. Both show a two point widening, and almost all of the change is on the part of married white women, who have long been the only subgroup of women that are reliably conservative. Now, split almost evenly between the two parties.
Meanwhile, the RNCC is cutting funds to a half dozen House races it now believes are lost, and transitioning those funds to other races that it didn’t previously expect to be competitive.
If they picked this interviewer because of her slut shame tactics, they...chose poorly.
