1. She talked about the attempted rape on several occasions years ago, before this confirmation hearing.
2. She passed a lie detector test.
3. She tried hard to remain anonymous.
4. I'm a man. I live in a sexist culture. I know how men are when they get together. For over a year I went to an all male college, Cal Tech (then), and I served 3 yrs in an all male Army. I also drank a lot during this period. I know how it can get.
5. K's denials have motivations that makes sense to me; he has everything to lose and, in fact, he may not even remember, since he had black outs and drank excessively, according to witnesses. He also said, perhaps tellingly, "What happened at Georgetown Prep, stays in Georgetown Prep."
6. For me, given the sexist culture, this is a no brainer. Boys are EDUCATED to treat women this way and a few don't have the character to know the lines that shouldn't be crossed.
This is a slam dunk case, as far as I'm concerned. Alas, I doubt if it matters, K will be confirmed to join the other Major Sexist on the court.
The tragedy of Trump's election continues.
