Thomas denied all accusations against him, and no proof was offered of his guilt in those matters beyond her word.
What kind of "proof" do you think there would have been? It was his word against her word and the Senate Judiciary Committee's all male members believed him. Big shocker, right?
The justice system needs more evidence than just one person to find one guilty. So you believe that in a he said she said, the woman's side should be considered the truth?
For a lot of reasons, I believe she was telling the truth. None of the conservatives wanting Thomas on the SC cared. Just like Kavanaugh, who made his strong antipathy for Democrats clear as he cried about how mean the investigation had been. No one cared that he was being appointed to a job that has always prided itself on being nonpartisan.
You believe? That isn't evidence, that is what you would need. That is why Thomas and Kavanaugh couldn't be excluded. No evidence.
No one, not Ginsberg, not Thomas, not Kennedy or any other Supreme Court Judge is non-partisan, they all have bias and all are partisan to some degree.
Ford had no corroborated story. No evidence, none, nothing. Just her story of not knowing when or where and the people she claimed were there did not recall any of it. Even her best friend at the time could not remember. You can't exclude a person because of an uncorroborated story and no other evidence, that is not justice, that is mob rule.
