Again, this is where the conversation has sunk: Kavanaugh is not charged with a crime so that he is treated unfairly is irrelevant. His rights are not violated unless the law can prosecute. Truth, honesty, fairness are all dismissed as inapplicable…in this case.
Her statement is bigoted as it broad brushes all men. It would have been truthful with the qualifier “some”.KMC:
That wouldn’t be an acceptable thing to say because it wouldn’t be truthful. What Hirono did say is acceptable because it is truthful.
On the contrary, the idea is to follow a honest and fair to find the truth as best as we can.
Because as I was reading the news I came across her asinine comment. Its a statement worthy of derision.KMC:
Almost. I don; see why, of all of those spouting off, you single out Sen, Hirono.

What has been said is still affirmed, whatever the fate of straw men set up by those seeking to discredit stories before investigation of facts.
What you wrote contains what @John24 wrote, but leaves out the context of what he said in post#69, and adds to it things that he did not say. Anyone else you would like to try?
Were Kavanaugh to face a criminal prosecution, he will certainly be able to face his accuser.
Who called this proof. And proof of what? We had been discussion the possibility of an investigation and what woulg be investigated. Now there is a claim that the matter was discussed at the time among many in the Ford’s high-school. Others may also remember, may be able to fix the date - a key fact that could totally exculpate Kavanaugh or bolster the case against him.
It has not been shown that such treatment is unfair. What is fairness when being considered for Justice of the Supreme Court? How is presenting accusations that have been presented “unfair?”LeafByNiggle:

Perhaps by setting aside political cartoons?
Yes, and I left out everything he said in all of his other posts as well inasmuch as I was concerned with demonstrating one thing only: there are those (e.g. John24) who consider Ford a hero. That you can contemplate a context where “Ford is a hero” means something other than what it plainly says is a problem. If words don’t have particular meaning then debate is impossible.
There could hardly be a more complete expression of indifference to simple fairness than this. If truth is a concern, facing ones accuser is paramount. If truth is not a concern, then…whatever.
If that were the case you might have siad so, instead of saying:
On the contrary, a similar investigation might turn up facts that make the further, adversarial proceedings unnecessary. It may be unpleasant to be accused and investigated, but it is not unfair.
No, that’s the problem, it was not affirmed. There are inconsistencies in her story. She actually damages Blasey-Ford’s version of events.
No. However, framed at sites like Twitchy, it would be best not to try to out run the investigation.
The great irony here is that someone thought that because Judge Moore was defended by our legal principles, and who later turned out to be guilty, that this somehow suggests that Kavanaugh is a miscreant as well because someone had the temerity to suggest that those same principles of justice should be applied to him.
