If the anti-abortion Republicans weren’t trying to torpedo Kavanaugh, they would have simply ignored her.

Anti-abortion Republicans can simply vote against him. It would take 2.

The problem is that we need to shift this dynamic and start prosecuting women who try to ruin men with false accusations. Being victimized by a false rape allegation is worse than being raped. These women belong in prison.
Sounds a lot like just another witch hunt.

If rape victims need to prove that there's been a rape, or go to jail if they can't prove it, most of them will remain silent, as it's impossible to prove most of the time.

I don't want people to stop accusing rapists of rape, even in cases where it's impossible to prove. But I also don't want to see innocent people go down with no evidence. A case doesn't need to have a winner or a loser for it to have been handled correctly, because a lot of the time there's simply not enough evidence either way.
This isn't a rape trial. Rape shield laws aren't designed for this kind of hearing. Not only is the burden of proof not beyond reasonable doubt, there is NO burden of proof. BK could admit to attempted rape and still get 51 votes for the seat. There is no appeal, save impeachment and removal.

It goes both ways... the accuser could admit fraud in making the allegation, and BK could get only 49 votes and not get the job. There's no appeal of that outcome for BK.

Congress could get serious about enforcing its ordinary procedural rules and prosecuting perjury before Congress in a serious manner. Think that's gonna happen anytime soon?

I'd be happy to see a couple of "anti-NSA" Republicans deep-six his ass.

Or a couple of "anti-torture" Republicans.

Or a couple of "anti-federalist" Republicans. (Where have I heard that descriptor before?)

No.

We need only prove they lied. It's the opposite of what they are doing to us.

How do you know when leftists are processing a losing strategy?

When they go back to their “Privileged Straight White Men” whining.
Kavanaugh isn’t entitled to a Supreme Court seat, just as men aren’t entitled to sex
https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/ ... itled-sex/[/size]
“He’s an entitled white man” is a significant step down from “he’s a fucking rapist.”

And women are not entitled to a free pass at false rape accusations without facing legal consequences, including prison if they lie to law enforcement or under oath.

Do you even NEWS, bro?

They can totally get away with that ... as long as they don’t leave hard evidence laying around like a living dog they claim their assailant killed.
