      Not getting on the Supreme Court isn’t a punishment. If Kavanaugh withdraws or gets voted down, he won’t be thrown in jail or even fined. Treating Christine Blasey Ford's accusation of sexual assault like a court case applies the wrong standard. My latest:https://arcdigital.media/everyones-applying-the-wrong-standard-to-kavanaugh-s-nomination-9b5859209039?source=friends_link&sk=4973bf2f07aec042d2ede336c92a5dca …

      1/ Evidence is even weaker than you suggest. Kav not named in therapist notes. Regarding lie detector, we have only been told she was being truthful when “she said the administer’s summary was accurate.” What’s the context of the summary? Kav named? Etc

      2/ Tamler Sommers has a new book on honor, points out our county too risk averse, argues against this reasoning. Would be interesting to juxtapose that with your piece assuming Western individualist standards. Kav’s honor is a much bigger deal on this approach than you suggest.

      3/ It’s not obvious that if he withdraws then it’s over. Many leftists have argued that they’ll use this to remove him from circuit court too. You underestimate the opposition

      4/ Back to risk assessment: you left out risk of letting unconfirmed accusation derail any conservative nomination moving forward. If this tactic proves successful, what’s the risk that it becomes a new tool in the age of #metoo⁠? How did you determine which risks to avoid?

      I don't buy this argument. Heard the same thing after the Clarence Thomas hearings. Then saw no accusation of sexual harassment or any other personal misconduct levied against Roberts, Alito, or Gorsuch. Maybe the relevant factor is the nominee, not the party doing the nominating

          evidence pre- #metoo to #metoo times shouldn’t be as weighty as you want to make it. Still, it’s a “risk.” Your argument works here: The evidence for my risk needn’t either be beyond reasonable doubt or preponderance. Just a risk with the evaluative claim: the risk isn’t worth it

          Also, your less risky alternatives haven’t been through the process. We can be assured Barrett or Thapar would be equally savaged. Kav made it through 6, SIX, FBI background checks. My friend in FBI. They called me and about 30 ppl from high school and asked a ton of qs.
