I'm obviously in the minority here (that's OK, I'm used to it) so if someone can answer a couple of fundamental questions that keep tripping me up I'll leave this alone.
1) There is no distinct corroborating evidence on either side of this debate so it is only the word of people we have to go on. If 1/2 the people say one thing against him, the other 1/2 support him, how do you pick and choose whom you believe? Even though this is not a trial the presumption of innocence is still the law of the land so that said, tie base goes to the runner (especially on a 36 year old claim).
2) We hear of women falsely accusing men of rape or inappropriate behavior all of the time. How do we differentiate one from the other after so much time.
3) If Trump was to dump Kavanaugh, nominate someone else, and then the same thing happened to him/her and it just keeps going where does that stop?
4) If this same thing happened to you. Someone is pissed off for whatever reason and went to the police, your boss, your community with accusations of attempted rape, molestation etc... and you knew you were innocent but had no real way of proving it, would you be satisfied to live with the same judgement that you have passed on to him?
Everyone here is willing to say what they would do as the victim, no one wants to address what they would do if they were the accused (innocently).
If he did what she says she did, then of course he should face consequences but if he did not, how do we justify a process that still makes him suffer in every way there is to suffer? That is my struggle.
I've never been ashamed to be a white American and I have ZERO guilt and no pussy liberal is going to make me feel I should.
