I hear from many people the argument that when it comes to Kavanaugh his innocence doesn’t seem to matter as long as the women are heard. If you defend Kavanaugh, that automatically means you support a sexual predator.
What happened to due process? The Presumption of Innocence?
The Democrats are screaming that the women need to be heard, and Kavanaugh is not worthy of the U.S. Supreme Court because of something he may have done when he was a 17 year old young man.
How dare the Republicans consider putting such a monster into a position of leadership.
Remember, there is no evidence, no corroboration of witnesses, and Kavanaugh has been defended over and over because as an adult he has developed an impeccable character.
Character is something that is developed over time. You can’t determine someone’s character based on his actions as a young man . . . unless he still acts the same way now. Bill Clinton comes to mind.
Why are we not asking the obvious questions?
Are you the same person now as you were when you were a horny teenager? Is your character the same now as it was when you were a young teenager? Or, have you become a different person over the years as you’ve added life experience and the gathering of wisdom as notches in your belt?
I was listening to a panel talking about Kavanaugh and a woman kept saying that this whole thing about Kavanaugh was a matter of determining his character. How can they say that something that happened more than forty years ago when Kavanaugh was a young man can determine who he is today?
