    Has any major confirmation of nominee in his/her 50s ever included so much scrutiny of high school years? Maybe one has; can't remember. Why this one? https://twitter.com/katiezez/status/1044600261858217984 …

        Also be careful what you ask for. There is a possiblity there is conduct in his adulthood too. Once a rapey preppyboy, always a rapey preppyboy, not to mention he never had consistencies, so chances are he hasn’t changed. Now how is his elitism ok? He is an east coast elite.

        This one hasn't had sufficient scrutiny due to the GOP trying to ram through the confirmation without his record being made available.

        Uh...is he working off the assumption that a dude who tries to rape a woman...even if he was young...should be allowed to make decisions on their reproductive rights? Or are we just working with ignorance? Tough call...

        Let's forget in college too -- he was an abuser there as well.

        When a SCOTUS nominee refuses to disclose 95% of his records for Committee review--yeah, red flags are thrown and an investigation is needed.

        If you believe Hill. Note that Hill had one (not necessarily credible per a bipartisan consensus) corroborating witness, and Thomas had several. At present, Ford has no corroborating witnesses, and Ramirez does not even have a coherent complaint, let alone witnesses.

        Impeach them both. Women not permitted to testify for Anita Hill against Clarence Thomas: Angela Wright Shannon. Rose Jourdain. Sukari Hardnett. 
Moira Smith sexually harassed by Thomas in 1999.

        Wright was deemed a liability by Democratic Senators, you forget; Jourdain could only testify to what Wright told her; and Hardnett had nothing specific. I am not familiar with Smith, but Thomas was not impeached...
