I was in high school in FL in 1988, and this news story of vicious battery & rape by PKA brothers has been seared in my memory, and my experience at #FSU years later (esp reading @BadDebutante in the Flambeau), and now in how I'm taking in #KavanaghHearing.
Rape has remained endemic on college campuses--yet not even #KavanaghHearing yesterday could get past "we all did it" or "have you?" deflections of the alcohol abuse and gender performances demanded of youth that have served to create environments tolerating rape & harassment.
Even setting aside Dr. Ford's allegations, it was appalling that, when set on a national stage, a candidate for life appointment to our nation's supreme arbiter of justice denied & deflected the woman-shaming, male-machismo, blackout-drunk culture of rape-permissiveness.

1. I've done long threads on claims that Kavanaugh "perjured" himself re: Pryor & #Memogate. This thread will be shorter. #SCOTUS #KavanaghHearing #KavanaughConfirmationHearings

2. Those two prior threads were long not because the claims have any merit, but just because I tried to go through all the evidence in methodical fashion.

3. The shortest refutation of the NSA claim: read the last ten (10) paragraphs of this article by @Charlie_Savage of @NYTimes - which is a news article, not an opinion piece, from a publication that's far from pro-Kavanaugh. The End. nyti.ms/2Ctpfak

Lawrence explicitly overruled Bowers, holding that it had viewed the LIBERTY interest too narrowly. Court held that intimate consensual sexual conduct was part of the LIBERTY protected by substantive due process under the 14th Amendment.
