Dershowitz is a liberal with some intellectual honesty. He's right -- this is almost life and death for Kavanaugh.

His accuser scrubbed her social media content. That’s something recruiters tell you to do when there are things you don’t want an employer to see

The job interview was with TRUMP, a**holes. You are supposed to be like a personnel dept. That verifies the qualifications.

The divorced dads tell me they know what it is like but as a physician who was falsely accused I will tell you a divorce won’t kill your career. A divorce fueled allegation won’t destroy your marriage, divorce has already done that. I do believe it is a bit different to go from being a professional pillar of the community with decades of professional service without a single blemish, in fact I was NEVER once sued for malpractice in 35 years. To go from that to “rapist” in ten minutes who has to put their life on hold while other hands decide if your life gets blown apart or not is a bit different than adding “and he hit me” to a divorce that is already in progress. That should be expected now days from what I hear. But to have a woman blow your life up because she didn’t know a PAP was SUPPOSED to be followed by a pelvic is a bit much. And to be taken seriously by your colleagues sort of destroys your trust in THEM, too.

Dersh is of the old school classic liberalism. Those liberals controlled Congress for decades. The progressive liberals of today can only resort to assault and destruction to gain power, and it’s not working any longer because we are woke.

I stopped reading at the “There is an enormous and dispositive difference between a candidate’s rejection on ideological grounds, as was the case with Robert Bork, and rejection on the ground that he has committed crimes warranting lifetime imprisonment rather than a lifetime appointment.”

In 1982 under MD law, it was a misdemeanor.

And even today a kid wanting to see boobs does not merit a lifetime in prison.

I caught a 20 year old many years ago, long before 1982, trying to see a girl (peeping) and he got no time.

He was required to spend a year with a shrink. And put on probation. Now long disappeared into the mist of past memories.

I am not defending Kavanaugh because I believe Ford is a nut case and it never happened. Just pointing out that whoever wrote the WSJ story is way off the track.

Insinuating that Kavanaugh “may” have got away with committing a serious crime is rotten.

It is not surprising that Dershowitz views last week in these terms. What I find astonishing is how many so called liberals and progressives simply repeated the meme that it is a job interview and therefore due process and an assumption of innocence are immaterial. It bespeaks of a partisanship that know no ethical or intellectual bounds. It is a pattern associated with Revolutionary executions since at least 1789.

I’m 73, but in the “job interviews” I’ve had in my life, no one ever brought in a “witness” to “testify” to any alleged “wrong doings” while I was in the interviewee seat.

What it was, was a FARCE.

If they succeed in blocking BK, then we have lost. The next one that Trump nominates will get even worse treatment. dems are truly evil people - especially the vile and vicious bloomenthal and whitehouse.

Can’t read WSJ. Not paying to see it. Anyone have a link to a free version?

"The behavior of which Judge Kavanaugh has been accused is so serious and devastating that it requires a high level of proof before forming the basis for his rejection. There is an enormous and dispositive difference between a candidate’s rejection on ideological grounds, as was the case with Robert Bork, and rejection on the ground that he has committed crimes warranting lifetime imprisonment rather than a lifetime appointment."

Really? Life imprisonment for a teen who at worst drunkenly fondled a young woman? How far out on the "all crimes against women deserve the death penalty" limb are we going here?

Judge Kavanaugh is certainly not guilty of anything but if he were that drunken teenager - "life imprisonment?"

Has our society lost its ever-loving mind?
