Sounds like something that may have occurred. Assuming it did for the momen


moment, the questions will be over perspective. Was it an awkward pass made at a girl by a wasted teenage Kavanaugh, or a committed attempt at raping her. It would come down to the level of force used. It's absolutely worth looking into.

Then the question becomes, if it's the more benign version, does this event from his days in high school inform us on the kind of person Kavanaugh is then and now? Is it disqualifying for a SCOTUS judge? If it was a violent confrontation I think both those answers are clearly, yes.

Dropping the assumption of guilt... Kavanaugh completely denied it happened, as did the other guy named. Maybe they were blackout drunk, but practically, sorting out the truth from the early 1980s is going to be impossible.

I can't get past the fact that a senator would sit on this allegation for months.
