55. I despise Kavanaugh but ...

I questioned this approach even then. And I despise Kavanaugh, but am not willing to sacrifice the bedrock of the presumption of innocence for cheap political again against anyone. Those spearheading the #metoo movement should have realized that careening from the horrible default position of disbelieving women to the, quite frankly, equally horrible default position of believing women would always end this way. It reminds me of the far, far-left types who doxx right-wingers while screaming about doxxing being bad when right-wingers do. You set the rules of engagement for your enemy when you set them for yourselves. #metoo should have always been about listening to alleged victims of assault, hearing them out, being compassionate, and then evaluating their story. That we set the standard as they are "automatically telling the truth," absolutely sets up. The article Scarborough links to is right. With the current standard, #metoo is little more than a hit squad when it should be representing a standard of protecting victims while also protecting the accused, as the latter is the very standard of innocent until proven guilty upon which our country is based.
