Not quite sure what to read into this, but it's certainly another question-raising moment about Feinstein's handling of this. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/14/us/politics/kavanaugh-assault-allegation-letter.html …pic.twitter.com/hwzf9eO7Vl

This style “defense” always perplexes me. Just because he did not allegedly sexually assault these 65 women does not mean he did not sexually assault one woman apart from that group. So if a murderer doesn’t kill hundreds of people does not mean they are not a murderer.

New American Justice: Come up with enough people willing to say they don't think you did something, and "voila", you are innocent!

All that is except in Jordan's case where over one hundred said he watched sex abuse, and didn't tell then Jordan according to republicans is innocent because he said so

Over/under on how many of the signatories knew him personally, and aren't just friends of the organizer?

So actually what does that prove. Maybe Kavanaugh didn't want to rape any of the 65 women and was nice to them. That doesn't mean he didn't try to rape one. And she has as much credibily as they do.

He went to an all boys school

Prep school guys can be awful. They already feel entitled and they roam in packs with a pack mentality.
-
That is so far from my world and I'm not knowledgeable but I to have so many women from a girls school comment is odd. How do they know him so we'll?
-
Very good point. I hadn’t made that connection.

Everyone can just whip together 65 one-gender character references from 30 years ago, right? I see a big pattern of sex assault and perversions with these Trump People.

Holy crap! I’m feeling so insecure. I doubt I could find 65 women who even remember me in the last 20 years let alone women who could attest to my behaviour while I was in high school. And all these women remember him OUTSIDE of his all boys school.

Think you got played here. Given letter came out before specific details known, seems like we shouldnt take this as gospel truth about BK. They just say he is a nice guy -- similar to other Me2 situations.

How many women refused to sign? What reason did they give?
