We may never know the truth of what happened all those years ago. But we know now that the key decision -makers in the Kavanaugh nomination are all complicit in Trump's own history of sexual abuse. How can they judge fairly? Me yesterday in @TheAtlantic

Delay the Kavanaugh Vote

This Senate is singularly ill-equipped to assess the allegations against Trump’s Supreme Court nominee.

Democracy can be a forgiving system, especially when politicians honestly acknowledge their misconduct. But with a Senate-confirmed position, the job of deciding whether misconduct is forgivable falls not to the voters, but to the voters’ representatives—and in this instance to a particularly unrepresentative set of representatives at that.

The Republican majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee is all-male. However keen their intuitive sympathy, however intimately connected they may be to the women in their lives, isn’t one side of the alleged situation involving Supreme Court-nominee Brett Kavanaugh likely to be more legible to them than the other?

Politico quoted the answer of a lawyer "close to the White House” about whether the nomination would now be withdrawn:



No way, not even a hint of it. If anything, it’s the opposite. If somebody can be brought down by accusations like this, then you, me, every man certainly should be worried. We can all be accused of something.

Right?.................................................................
