Brett Kavanaugh accused of sexual assault.


In 1987, Ronald Reagan placed Douglas S. Ginsburg's name in nomination to replace Lewis F Powell, Jr., on the SCOTUS. During confirmation hearings, Judge Ginsburg admitted to having smoked marijuana while in college. That resulted in Ginsburg voluntarily withdrawing his name. When Ginsburg was in college, it was illegal to smoke marijuana.

Brett Kavanaugh has been accused of attempted sexual assault when he was a high school student by a woman whose story will probably be heard by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

It should not matter that this happened while Kavanaugh was in high school. Attempted rape is a crime and there should be no statute of limitation on it. If smoking weed was enough to have Judge Ginsburg withdraw his name from consideration for the SCOTUS, Kavanaugh's worse alleged crime should disqualify him.

At the very least this will send a message to all young men and those Americans who think "boys will be boys," and that it's okay to try to rape a young woman when intoxicated. It isn't. Kavanaugh should take responsibility for what he did. He got away with a crime in high school, but now he should pay the price, just like Judge Ginsburg did.

Kavanaugh should withdraw.
