Yale Law students demonstrate in support of sex assault victims

The evidentiary basis for this, the number of witnesses who were told at the time, is strong.

Last July, Chua wrote an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal calling Kavanaugh a “mentor to women”.

The accusations surfaced in a story in The New Yorker on Sunday.

She said students are “angry on behalf of people who have been mistreated, particularly on behalf of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Debbie Ramirez”. She realizes the gravity of the situation in which she’s coming forward.

James Roche, a software company CEO, who shared a dorm room with Kavanagh at Yale University, in CT, in 1983, has spoken out against the Supreme Court pick. In an interview for the Showtime political show, “The Circus”, that was taped Friday night – before the latest allegation became public – Collins said that she’s “very close” to making a decision on Kavanaugh.

On Tuesday, one day after campus protests that illustrate Kavanaugh’s alma mater has picked a side, and it’s not his, the law school remains decked with reminders that it supports an effort to “Stop Kavanaugh”. Students say they’ll stage a sit-in from 9:30 to 3:00 pm. She alleges that during a drinking game in college Kavanaugh and his group of friends plied her with alcohol before taunting the devout Catholic woman with a plastic penis. “And Professor Ford deserves to be heard”, Collins said on “The Circus”. “I knew that’s not what I wanted, even in that state of mind”.

“I strongly encourage any members of our community who have been affected by misconduct to take advantage of Yale University’s resources for reporting incidents and receiving support”, Gerken wrote. “You do not forget someone choking you, you do not forget someone putting their hand over their mouth and you thinking they’re going to die”, she said, her voice quaking. Kavanaugh’s statement said, “This alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen”.

” The New Yorker has not confirmed with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was present at the party”, the New Yorker reports. It’s in excess of what we typically see in this type of investigative reporting. The behavior she describes would be completely out of character for Brett.

Following a July 13 Above the Law article suggesting that Chua’s motivation for writing the op-ed could have been her daughter’s future U.S. Supreme Court clerkship opportunities, Sophia Chua Rubenfeld, tweeted to editor Elie Mystal that she was joining active duty JAG Corps after her circuit clerkship, and wouldn’t be applying for clerkships on the high court anytime soon.

The three joined Yale law professor Akhil Amar, who once taught Kavanaugh and who also publicly endorsed his qualifications for the Supreme Court, in their collective assertion that there should be an investigation.

Those conclusions allegedly included Chua telling students it was “no accident” the women who clerked for Kavanaugh “looked like models”, and Rubenfeld saying Kavanaugh opted for female clerks “with a certain look”.
