Someone turned BrettKavanaugh.com into a resource for sexual assault survivors
- lawlessone 8y agoGood
- foolzcrow 8y agoBlacks were lynched when white women made false rape claims against them. I guess your white privilege made you forget that. Accusations don't mean anything after all everyone here raped me I just can't prove you did.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoIt opens with: The start of Brett Kavanaugh’s tenure on the Supreme Court may look like a victory for one interest group or another. But, more importantly, it is putting a national focus on the issue of sexual assault – and how we as a country can and should do more to prevent it and to support those who have experienced it. I'm impressed. It's surprisingly classy.
- bitlax 8y agoSo did you believe Julie Swetnick before or after she walked back her allegations?
- Fjolsvith 8y agoI don't think it's classy. To me, the 'Fix The Court' link at the bottom implies the justice system is broken. It's wrong that people think they should be able to put someone in prison, or even prevent their political appointment by slandering them with unproven allegations. This is the kind of attitude that leads to the excesses of Nazi Germany or Socialist Russia. The Justice system as it stands protects everyone in America from arbitrary imprisonment.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoI'm well aware they have an agenda. It's why I'm surprised. I was expecting something on par with SNL.
- Fjolsvith 8y agoIf liberals had stayed par with SNL, there wouldn't have been such an upwelling of anger over Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings.
- DecayingOrganic 8y agoWe Believe Survivors Well, I believe evidence-based allegations. To really understand the environment here in the US, think about the Salem Witch Trials in the 1690s. Mass hysteria, rules of evidence suspended, sentences mandated before trials took place, the rights of defendants to face their accusers denied. The judge's fate will be determined by the prejudice each of us brings to his "case" and our subjective reaction to which of the two parties is the more "believable" -- by which we mean that party that most accords with our prejudices. Judge Kavenaugh's fate will, thus, be decided by a popularity contest held during an era of feminine triumphalism.
- adonnjohn 8y agoTo unearth evidence and prove causation, there must be a robust, unrestricted investigation by an independent third party.
- b_t_s 8y agoIn the Salem witch trials the accused were executed. This was a job application, not a criminal trial, and the worst thing that would happen to him is not getting a promotion. Even in a civil trial the burden of proof is just more likely than not. In a job application, it's "do I think I can get a better candidate or is this one good enough?" I've been on interview teams where someone got the thumbs down because they were qualified but a few of the interviewers thought they were kind of an annoying windbag. If Kavenaugh gave that performance at my workplace he'd get the boot at round one...."yup, that's it, just a quick chat. HR will get back to you."
- JoeAltmaier 8y agoExactly. When did the process go from "Find the best America has to offer" to "shove this questionable guy through because we're tired of looking"?
