The Whole Virginia Mess Is Very Disappointing.

17. We need more women officeholders, but

the idea that a woman can't be taken out in a similar way, is IMO naive. (you're from Minnesota, there are already "anonymous" reports attempting to paint Klobuchar as an office bully, and some calling for her to resign or drop out of the presidential race.)

Hillary was accused of being an enabler, and all types of things for many years, without evidence.

We set a terrible precedent when someone can just point a finger and damn that person without a chance for defense of their reputation, without any type of investigation. It feels more like the Salem Witch Trials than an America based upon due process (which is not just a legal precept but an ethical and moral value woven into the fabric of America).

I disagreed with the Kavanaugh circus for this reason. I thought it happened too long ago and the evidence too flimsly to keep him off the court. A more thorough investigation should have been done, but the GOP derailed that. We need a bipartisan mechanism for these things.

What I wonder about cases like Kavanaugh, Franken, Fairfax - is why these accusers suddenly came out when the politician was elevated (or about to be elevated) to a high profile.
