        Very disappointed in your headline. You used his name. Giving him legitimacy of sorts. He is an alleged sexual assaulter. Her name is Dr. Ford. Now fix your flipping headline.

        You do know he hasn’t been found guilty yet? I mean anybody could accuse you of anything right now, should people then treat you such that you have no legitimacy?

        She has a name and it is not accuser. So they can certainly say Dr Ford who is accusing Judge Kavanaugh of ——. Or is that too much to ask for?

        She wanted to be "anonymous". Accuser (plaintiff) is what she is. Plaintiffs do NOT set terms for their own day in court.

        By that time she will hopefully have figured out 1. Where the party was 2. When the party took place. 3. How she got to the party. 4. Who she went with 5. Who else was at the party

        Nice one Larry, great input there. Democracy, true Democracy involves the people, not just elected officials. Let’s have a proper look and see what’s going on hey rather than railroad it. Politicians selecting Judiciary is lunacy

        Do you not question the timing of the allegation? Have we not been here before! Months and months in the media only for it to be discredited

        He is about to get a life time seat on the highest court. The timing is relative to the event completely. It’s like, hang on a min, that bloke is a fucking perv, I need to do something. She is a very credible individual

        Every young man should know his actions will follow him. 17 years of age is an age of cognizance. Their actions and consquences are not childsplay.

        What if there were ever “actions” at all? Why someone can accuse a man aftermore then 30 years without any proof and this will still damage his career?

        Consider all the young men and women who finally accused the priests. It does make a difference. You might stifle your pain for a lifetime...but if you see your attacker going to be in charge of other lives..you might find the courage to step forward.

        So you think it is OK when someone’s life can be broken by a malicious unsubstantiated accusation?

        Replying to @Sc_Meerkat @BBCNews

        No, but accusations must be heard. That is our sustem. It took a lot of courage to come forward...just as it took a lot of courage for those who acknowledged assaults and pedophilia of priests. How many more tortured souls do not come forward?

        Took a lot of courage or sheis so politicised and hates Trump so much that she came up with the accusations at the correct moment?

        Correct moment? hmmmm Before he could do damage to more lives in a lifetime seat on SCOTUS? Right! You appear pretty politicized, yourself. Read about 20 of your tweets. I want change.. for justice and peace, for the people.
