Dershowitz Slams ‘Sexual McCarthyism’ by Dems Against Kavanaugh: It’s a ‘Terrible Precedent’

EXCERPT:

DERSHOWITZ: “I mean, the idea that he can’t teach at Harvard now because he was suspected? When I was growing up in Brooklyn College as a student, they fired professors because they were suspected of maybe being communists when they were in their 20s. Suspicion was enough. This kind of sexual McCarthyism is a terrible, terrible precedent. Look, women being assaulted is a horrible, horrible thing. But women making up stories the way at least one witness may well have made up a story out of whole cloth, that is a serious matter too. We have to look into all of these issues. This is a teaching moment and I hope we learn the right thing from this teaching moment. Look, I’m not an advocate for this nomination. I would not have nominated Kavanaugh. My candidate would have been Merrick Garland. This is for me not about whether my choice gets on the Supreme Court. It is about whether the process of confirmation is forever destroyed, and it is in the process of being destroyed."
