In any case for lots of people, whether Kavanaugh lied about his past drinking behaviour is not the real problem.
Lying under oath is, according the relevant US law, "felony perjury", and carries a maximum 5 - year jail sentence.
In that case Kavanaugh should be in jail.
The real problems for lots of people in the United States - those like Professor Fair whom I have just quoted above is that Justice Brett Kavanaugh was White.
The fact of the matter is that Kavanaugh’s race was not an issue in the confirmation hearings. Whether lots of people in the United States would like to see more diversity on the bench has nothing to do with. If Blasey Ford had not come forward with credible allegations (even the Republicans backing him admitted that she was a credible witness) of rape his confirmation would have been uneventful.
Consider the following press articles that were published while Judge Kavanaugh's was facing accusations of sexual assault/rape
Consider providing links, using the quote function, and quoting in context. There are such things as, in ascending order, male privilege, white male privilege, and upper class white male privilege.
All of these people are obsessed with race …
They are not obsessed with race, you are. Their concern is with the status quo.
Bear in mind that if you were anything but a White man it would be unthinkable to pound him so viciously …
Bear in mind that during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, according to him, they attacked him because he was black. This type of rhetoric cuts both ways, and in both cases the intent is to create distance from the allegations brought against them. Bear in mind then when Gorsuch was nominated he was not pounded so viciously because he is a White man, but Gorsuch was not a White man accused of attempted rape.
… but in America it's "open season" on White men …
This may play well with white supremacists but most of us know better.
How is it these people of the liberal left who attacked Judge Kavanaugh on the grounds of his race and sex, cannot see the irony?
The credible allegations of rape were not made on the grounds of his race and sex. If he were black the same kind of rhetoric would be used (but in that case not by you), deflecting from what he was accused of. Kavanaugh’s privilege includes wealth, power, and connections. The reason you are blind to the problem is because you believe it represents the natural order and because you feel threatened that your, at best, middling status in the pecking order of white males will be further diminished by women and minorities who, when given the opportunity, will clearly demonstrate abilities far superior to your own.
America used to believe in due process and the rule of law for ALL the people, privileged or not, and this is why, since the 16th century Lady Justice has been depicted wearing a blindfold …
First of all, due process refers to legal matters, this was not a trial. Second, one would have to be blindfolded to believe that ALL people are treated fairly under the law in America.
For many of Brett Kavanaugh's critics evidence didn't seem to matter …
And yet it was the critics who kept calling for an investigation while the Republican senators on the committee kept trying to push his confirmation through. The FBI investigation they were forced to allow was perfunctory and incomplete. Yes, evidence does matter, and that is why they did their best to suppress a proper investigation.
Christine Blasey Ford has now been exposed as an extremely devious pathological liar.
You made this claim in another post and then ignored my response as you have done time and time again. The truth of the matter has not been determined and no real effort was made to determine the truth of the matter; but a great deal of effort was made to shield Mike Judge from being questioned by the senate committee.
In October of this year hard evidence was presented effectively confirming, beyond any doubt, that Ford had lied under oath to a Senate Committee while she was being questioned about her testimony in the Kavanaugh case.
What hard evidence?
A brief glance at the history of social relations in the United States from 1776 to the mid 1960s ( when the population of America was 90% White/European) shows that they were overwhelmingly harmonious
As usual, short of facts and evidence. If this is what your brief glance has shown you then you should look more carefully. Jewish immigrants were ostracized and persecuted. Catholic immigrants were ostracized and persecuted. Italian immigrants were ostracized and persecuted. Irish immigrants were ostracized and persecuted. The deeper you look the less harmonious things become.
… the 300 year era of a contentment, peace and harmony that has previously been the norm in most of America's towns and cities.
You are completely clueless.
