And yet, it didn’t get us any closer to the truth or determining whether Kavanaugh was the boy who assaulted Ford back in 1982.

Ford cannot remember the date, time or location of the party. She cannot remember how she got there, or how she got home. She named four witnesses; none of them could remember the event or verify her account.

The vote will only further divide the country and the culture, which is firmly at odds over how to handle “Me Too” accusations while upholding due process and the rule of law.

It’s interesting to compare this case to that of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Earlier this summer, an 18-year-old sexual misconduct allegation surfaced against Trudeau. A newspaper editorial alleged that he “groped” a young reporter at a music festival in Creston, B.C.

While Kavanaugh adamantly denied the allegation against him, Trudeau acknowledged that the interaction occurred. He was quoted 18 years ago saying “I’m sorry. If I had known you were reporting for a national paper, I never would have been so forward.”
