Here's my opinion on the whole damn thing.

1) It's possible that neither of them are lying. It's possible that both of them are telling what they think is the truth.

2) Even if he did what she alleges he did, is that enough to disqualify him from a Supreme Court seat? Drunk 17-year-olds do stupid things. If everyone who ever did something evil or criminal when they were a teenager was disqualified from high office, the only people left would be people we'd not want running the country.

3) Right now, all we have is an unproven allegation with no supporting evidence.

4) Maybe I'm being insensitive, but for someone to sit there and weep about something that happened 35 years ago, it seems like she might need some professional help. Am I being insensitive? 35 years is a long time to hold onto something like this.
