It is way passed time the this country, and the whole world faced this problem that female people have endured for centuries, having been laughed at and taught to remain silent. I love that the "Me, Too" movement has taken hold from the U.S., to Britain, France, over to India, Australia, and more. It's great to see us women finally raising our voices and taking control of the situation. Loved seeing the woman in Paris whose attacker was finally caught for harassing her on the street and then hitting her. Loved seeing the crowds in India marching against sex crimes.
And, yeah. I had my "Me, Too" moments when I was young. I didn't like being pinned up against a wall in an a Roman hotel as a teenager or in a ski lodge in Maine by people who wanted to grope me and find my tonsils. The people who want to deny that things like this happen are so full of shit that it's incredible.
We have time limits on certain alleged crimes because memories tend to not be accurate after decades and convictions cannot be upheld. Murder being one exception however, cold murder cases require much more detail and proof. In this case there are no witnesses to the alleged attack no hard evidence and hundreds of supporters of Kavenaugh. That is the problem with "Me Too"......A man's reputation and livlihood can be destroyed on one person's allegation. That is NOT the way the American justice system is supposed to work.
You forget, that the nominee had been vetted SIX times by the FBI.
He may have been vetted six times, but there is a very good chance that he didn't have to disclose his high school whereabouts for the investigation.
When I got my Top Secret done, they had me go back 10 years from the date I enlisted, which is how far back the scope of those things go. Now, Kavanaugh is a lawyer, which means he went to college for 4 years to get his B.S., and another 4 years for his law degree. Then? He probably had to intern for a couple of years before getting to the point where he would be noticed by those high up in the government. That would take at least another 5 years before he would be put in a job that would require a clearance and investigation, which places his investigation to around his second year in college and forward. And yes, once you get a clearance, you are re-investigated every couple of years as long as you hold that clearance, or, whenever you are upgraded from say, Classified, to Top Secret, another investigation is done. Chances are that none of his high school time would have been investigated.
Me? I joined the Navy at 18, and had to go all the way back to when I was 8.
