Justice unchained: Kennedy lets loose!

“Perhaps we didn’t do too good a job teaching the importance of preserving democracy by an enlightened civic discourse,” Kennedy said during an appearance at a high school in his hometown of Sacramento, California. “In the first part of this century we’re seeing the death and decline of democracy.”

Kennedy’s appearance were a part of a Constitution Day celebration, as Kennedy went to teach students about the document, according to a report by the Associated Press.
Kennedy did not directly comment on Brett Kavanaugh or the confirmation hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee. He also declined to take questions from the audience. He urged the students to follow the Constitution and participate in civil discourse.

Sunday night bomshell: Drudge Says Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer Set to Break Report on Kavanaugh: ‘Another Woman?’

The Drudge Report turns out to be accurate…
Earlier on Sunday, this was the page:

On Sunday night shortly after this report, The New Yorker published the account of a woman who claims Kavanaugh thrust his penis in her face when both were students at Yale. Senate Democrats are investigating the new allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh.

In addition, shortly after Drudge’s report went live, Stormy Daniel’s lawyer Michael Avenatti issued a statement via Twitter claiming, “I represent a woman with credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh and Mark Judge.” That woman is not, according to Avenatti, the same woman who came forward in the New Yorker article…

Alyssa Milano says she was sexually assaulted when she was a teenager and explains why she didn’t say anything

In her own words..

It took me years after my assault to voice the experience to my closest friends. It took me three decades to tell my parents that the assault had even happened. I never filed a police report. I never told officials. I never tried to find justice for my pain because justice was never an option.

For me, speaking up meant reliving one of the worst moments of my life. It meant recognizing my attacker’s existence when I wanted nothing more than to forget that he was allowed to walk on this Earth at all. This is what every survivor goes through. Telling our stories means being vulnerable to public attacks and ridicule when our only “crime” was to be assaulted in the first place.
And we are not alone. One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before they turn 18 years old. This is the reality for survivors of sexual assault: our journey begins in fear and, for many of us, it continues in fear for the rest of our lives.
Yet, today, we will not be silenced.
On Friday, in response to President Trump’s tweet I decided to speak out about my own experience—and I welcomed other survivors of sexual assault to do the same. I encourage you to read the replies of people across the country who have carried the burden of being a survivor, sometimes for years, and never reported it.

THIS BEING REPORTED BY CNN

White House aides who steeled themselves for what President Donald Trump would say when he finally addressed the sexual assault allegation against his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh were quietly stunned when Trump said the process should be followedand the accuser should be heard.
In recent days, Trump has bragged about the positive coverage he’s received for his response, according to multiple sources. That response has contributed to him continuing to say Christine Blasey Ford should come forward with her story, they said.
As of Thursday, officials felt confident Kavanaugh was back on track toward confirmation.
