    After listing reasons to doubt Kavanaugh's accuser, Bauer says even women "shouldn't want a country where after a lifetime of decency, the man in your life can be ruined by someone getting up and saying '36 years ago, he did this to me.'" #VVS18

        You know, there seems to be a misunderstanding. If Kavanaugh does not become a SCJ, it will not ruin his life. But, if he does, he will ruin many others lives.

        Jakiw Palij is being deported for things he did 70 years ago. Would Bauer consider that just?

        His lifetime is filled with lies and partisan hackery, not decency.

        Kavanaugh in adulthood has been described as a "creature & servant of political power". His involvement in every shameful political episode of past decades- Elian Gonzalez, 2000 recount, Terri Shiavo, torture, Vince Foster- supports that description. Does not belong on SC

        Decency? That is debatable. Protecting a sex crazed harasser for years. Refusing to comply with the law this year as a judge by denying a 17 year old medical care she was legally entitlled to receive to her detriment. Lying under oath several times about critical legal matters.

        Ruined? Because he may be denied life tenure on the Supreme Court? Oh no!!!!! Sexual assault can NOT be subject to the same penalty as being the nominee of a Democratic President.pic.twitter.com/297CgNtABO

        Lifetime of decency? Not the way his speeches paint it. Not the way his papers paint it. Not the way his email trail paints it.

        By "ruined", do you mean serving as a federal judge on a slightly lower court?

        Other problems aside: not getting a lifetime appointment to the most powerful court in the world doesn't mean your life is ruined.
