I made the mistake of making today my bi-weekly facebook check. A law school colleague who started off as a DA had a post about Ford and Kavanaugh, about how society doesn’t always treat people the same, used an example from her early career when a group of young white guys got probation for a string of burglaries and the next case was a similarly aged black guy who got prison for basically the same crime. There was then some talk about Kavanaugh’s rant and how it wouldn’t be acceptable for a non-white, non-male person. Another law school colleague chimed in to say how he disagreed with her premise and that Kavanaugh was justified in acting the way he did “if he was innocent.” Friend number two is a straight white guy, and sees nothing wrong in Kavanaugh acting like a loon and still getting on the Supreme Court.
