          There is a new war against men in America, whereby a mere accusation is good enough to deem you guilty, until you prove yourself innocent. That's wrong. Dr. Ford had 36 yrs of chances to report to police or someone, but chose silence, so, who is telling the truth?

          I think most people would want an actual investigation to clear them of the charges.

          That’s the whole point Brent. We don’t want them to get away with sexual assault. Any of them, any more. If that doesn’t demonstrate abject unfitness for a seat on any court....

          Standard would be to be investigated and cleared/not cleared no? Why was his request for the allegations to be investigated denied? Oh that's right, he didn't make the request. And the main witness went in to hiding. Has any *not-guilty* person ever resisted an investigation?

          With empathy, leniency and forgiveness? Surely people shouldn’t be judged like a family member? When considering his actions though, the women should be thought of as “your mother, your wife, your sister or your daughter”. That would be a reasonable view point.
