      blegh I shouldn't even be thinking about this but it bums me out how the Thing is playing out and maybe there's something to be gained from working through it probably going to be a thread, maybe interrupted by landing / loss of wifi

      i feel weirdly capable of putting myself in both kavansdfskfghs position and also in whatsername's position except that i honestly will never seek any kind of public role because I can imagine this playing out in exactly the same way it did for him, I have thought about this

      my hunch is that this is in a class of crimes that are just very challenging to deal with effectively, and often the best solution is for participants to remove each other from one another's (but I need to think about this too) but its just really difficult! and . . .

      there's an important role for criminal courts here, and it roughly (if hardly costlessly) worked as intended in my case in criminal courts, there's at least a _chance_ for evidence to be presented systematically, and a high threshold for punishment but this role is *limited*

      so---- thinking about this mechanistically, what is the aim of a public congressional hearing? what do we hope to accomplish? no matter how I turn this, I cant see these proceedings as being a good mechanism for either (i) revealing truth, or (ii) resolving conflict

          Maybe a separate investigation reveals some novel information (kind of doubt it but) But not a public hearing with huge stakes on the outcome. Just perfectly structured to incentive everyone to obfuscate and distort. And as a means of resolving conflict--it draws in Everyone!

          And no one is going to be helped here. This is now the defining story for both people for the rest of their lives. Political operatives who (pushed?) her to come forward, if she didn't particularly want to and even then, have probably wrecked her life. Kavanadhdhfgh is done too

          Public Senate confirmation hearings (PSCH) for SCOTUS nominees started shortly after 17th Amndt passed (direct elections of Senators). The aim of PSCHs is for Senators to win elections. Being pro "democratic accountability & transparency" may appeal to voters.

          Mass media (newspapers, radio, tv, internet) & rising partisanship are important, but direct elections of Senators may be more important. Not sure what effect (if any) PSCHs has on SCOTUS judge quality or how to compare judges b4/after 1913 or high court judges b/t countries.

          The constitution says Senate provides 'advice & consent'. The evolution into political crucifixions began w/ Robert Bork in 1980s. Ever since then, scotus appointments have involved "Borking"; hysterical counter-campaigns which paint nom as monsterhttps://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Bork

          But - to your point - the hearings were never intended to investigate or pass judgment on allegations. Their only role is to say, "Ok, you're qualified", or not. Even the Q&A is 'voluntary'. In theory they could just read the person's resume, and vote (or not)

          The issue is not whether or what anyone did to/with whom. The issue is what they do when confronted with the situation. K angrily denied, still denies, explained how everyone was wrong. Then Ford got on the stand and was credible, which was the worst possible thing for him.

          Like Nixon learned, it's not the crime; it's the coverup. If dude cannot think fast enough to get the right answer to this, then maybe he's not what we want on the Court.
