The confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has been delayed due to recent allegations that when Kavanaugh was in high school in the early 1980s, he allegedly sexually assaulted another teenager, Christine Blasey Ford, at a party. On Sunday, a second woman came forward to make an allegation against Kavanaugh, which dates back to 1983-84, when the woman and Kavanaugh were students at Yale University.
Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh will face a crucial vote this week as a Senate panel will decide whether or not to move his nomination to the full Senate with a full vote as early as next week. This comes after Kavanaugh adamantly denied sexually assaulting Christine Blasey Ford, who insisted she’s “100 percent” certain he did. High drama played out in a day-long hearing on the allegations against Kavanaugh. Ford offered her much-awaited testimony about the summer day in 1982 that she remembers being assaulted, while Kavanaugh defiantly called it a “political hit.”
1) What is 'consent' and when is it required?
2) What does the saying 'boys will be boys' mean? Do you agree?
3) Should there be a 'statute of limitations' on mistakes you've made in the past? If so how long?
4) Do you think Judge Kavanaugh should he be excluded from the Supreme Court? Why or why not?
