re: #151 jaunte

Okay, there are a number of problems around this Kavanaugh thing.

First, I’m not sure how seriously I want to take a single anonymous accusation. Yeah, I understand that to make the accusation publicly opens the accuser up to ALL SORTS of abuse from literally the worst people in America. But the ability to face your accuser is key to our system.

Also, without any contemporary corroboration, how can we know how seriously to take this?

Second, the “65 Women He Didn’t Assault” letter is fucking worthless. Even serial rapists don’t rape EVERY woman they meet.

So, you know, the accusation is weak tea, and the defense is weaker tea.
