Anita Hill redux

This time the story may have a different ending.  When Anita Hill came forward during Clarence Thomas' supreme court confirmation hearings she was savaged by Republicans and Democrats alike.  "uncle Joe" Biden, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee was the ring leader of the charade which stripped Hill of her humanity and ignored the pain she went through.   Dems, at least, can't do that if/when Kavanaugh's accuser appears before the committee with her account of drunken sexual assault in the late 1980s.  Certainly any republican women in the senate cannot  in good conscience do anything less than make their best effort to investigate the accuser's claims.  Of course even without this latest charge, Kavanaugh disqualified himself from anything but censure and a possible jail cell because of his penchant for lying before the senate during two different confirmation hearings.   Thanks to our puritanical society, drunken sexual assault allegations will far outweigh lies when all is said and done.   Too bad the Assaulter in chief is not held to the same standard.
