I want to explain something for all you Christian dudes out there throwing out the 8th commandment and saying that because we don't have more than 1 witness making these accusations against Kavanaugh, we can't accept her accusation.
Biblically, there are other ways of being a witness besides being a direct eyewitness:
"Now if a person sins after he hears a public adjuration to testify when he is a witness, whether he has seen or *otherwise known*, if he does not tell it, then he will bear his guilt." Lev 5:1
"Now if a person sins after he hears a public adjuration to testify when he is a witness, whether he has seen or *otherwise known*, if he does not tell it, then he will bear his guilt." Lev 5:1
Both the therapist and the husband learned of these accusations years before there could have been a political motive. So, we do in fact have at least three witnesses. I suspect more may be forthcoming in the not-too-distant future.
Furthermore, saying "She's lying" is itself an accusation that requires investigation - according to Deuteronomy 19:15-20, you don't just get to accuse someone of being a false witness and therefore ignore their claims. That's something that also goes before the judges.
Just like we expect an accusation of attempted rape to be investigated, so too must the charge of being a false witness be examined. Your political biases and suspicions are not enough to substantiate such a serious charge - you need witnesses and evidence.
And lest anyone think otherwise, I was not on the "never Kavanaugh" bandwagon prior to this. I'm politically very conservative. While I wasn't paying super close attention before this news came out, I had no serious objections to him.
