We should have higher standards for a Supreme Court Justice. Can’t they find someone who *hasn’t* tried to rape a fifteen year old girl?

A week is an eternity in Trump time.

I’m a former (female) federal law clerk, and my grapevine says there are female law clerks out there. Wow, would it be tough to come forward though. Your career would be over.

Female law clerks out there who ... what? Finish your gossip.

Totally agree. This kind of thing doesn't just happen once. It's embedded in his DNA.

I just hope there are women out there who aren't so self-hating they would put their own shame and fear ahead of the nation's best interest.

The GOP: when you just can’t help but vilify women.

NP. How are these accusations fair to Judge Kavanaugh’s wife and daughters?

What is fair or unfair? He chose to accept a nomination knowing that this allegation was going to surface. Rumors are, there are others. Maybe his wife will be able to teach a lesson to the daughters, whom he used a props at his hearing. THAT was gross at the time and even worse in retrospect.

Ya, that is how the GOP wants to be seen treating potentially abused women.

They may know the woman is lying.

Or they’re hoping against hope no more victims emerge.

There’s already chatter about additional people.

Links? Sources? Didn't think so.

Or they are showing the same bravado that they were displaying during Ronny Jackson's nomination to VA secretary role.

Or they know Trump needs to pull this nomination because it was deeply unpopular to begin with, and now the wheels are coming off. But Trump won’t and they are backed into a corner. On one hand, women are actually more than half of voters and are highly energized. They ram this through, the backlash will be enormous. On the other hand, Trump is insisting. This lets them say she was treated fairly. And if it all blows up— oh well, McConnell didn’t want Kavanaugh to begin with.

Interesting fact: only two SCOTUS nominees more unpopular than Kavanaugh in modern times— Bork and Harriet Miers.

When you commit an assault, you don’t really get to complain about collateral damage.
