re: #241 dangerman

the flaw in that logic is the bold
if the accusation is true, then he just didnt get caught
he did not live a ‘lifetime of decency’

Precisely. This is a man who has enjoyed some measure of protection through his adult life, whether it was an assistant DA mom, a college that is deeply protective of its reputation, a boss that was feeling up clerks in his chambers and keeping it quiet, or political patrons who now want to put him atop the highest court in the land.

If he’s a good man with a clean record, then he should be the first pushing for the matter to be cleared up, not in total denial while his patrons do the heavy lifting of destroying his accuser.
