Big difference Cosby was a grown man and drugged woman. Kavanaugh was a teenage boy and didn't drug anyone. Goodness sakes it doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
I find the emerging "boys will be boys" argument troubling. Yes, kids make dumb mistakes, and there's a reason juvenile offenses are treated differently. A teenager who commits a heinous act, but who faces the consequences and makes every effort to amend his ways over the years, shouldn't have to carry that burden his throughout his adult life.
But if the current accusation is true, Kavanaugh has never faced up to his actions, just managed to sweep them under the rug. More importantly, he's actively *denying* them now. If that turns out to be a lie, he has no business being a judge anywhere, let alone on the Supreme Court.
