I overheard an NPR story today, where they interviewed women in the Detroit suburbs about the swirling sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. The Republican female politician took the usual odious positions of "times were different, they were just kids." But several other women seemed troubled by the timing. Why didn't she come forward sooner?
I recommend that you read this extraodinary story by Elizabeth Bruenig. It's long, but worth it. This wasn't 30 years ago, it was 12 year past. This wasn't "boys will be boys" (WTF does that mean?), it was rape.
Once again, Brett Kavanaugh does not "deserve" a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. There are other conservative judges that could take that seat. He will not be impeached from his current lifetime appointment on the bench.
Republicans are forcing this through as quickly as possible, because they simply don't give a shit if Professor Ford was raped.
