Discussion on World Socialist Web Site   

The #MeToo campaign versus the presumption of innocence

 
[ Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz warned Friday on "Fox & Friends" that the left has risked "destroying" the Supreme Court nomination process through uncorroborated sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.

He questioned why anyone would want to go through this process in the future, noting that Kavanaugh will no longer teach at Harvard due to the unproven allegations against him.
"This kind of sexual McCarthyism is a terrible, terrible precedent," said Dershowitz, arguing that sexual assault claims should be taken seriously but a witness possibly making up a statement "out of whole cloth" must also be taken seriously.]

                At least a whiff of old fashioned LIBERALISM from legal scholar Alan Deshowitz.. " Sexual McCarthyism " checked for now ?
