All the allegations were just that: allegations. If the accusers were serious, they would have gone to court. They don't do it, because they know they cannot prove anything. But they don't want the GOP to have another SCOTUS justice so they will go on and on with their allegations anyway. Kavanaugh's perjury is less relevant to me, because none of this would have happened if not for the made-up allegations. And anybody can say anything in a therapy session.
See, there's a little problem with this. It's very easy for you, or anybody else who had no connection with the case, to say "they should've gone to court" or "why come forward now?". Victims of sexual assault (and even Senate Republicans didn't dispute the fact Ford was one, only whether it was Kavanaugh) are understandably hesitant to come forward, and I don't think I need to spell out why.
I don't believe in "guilty until proven innocent" attitude, that is too frequently displayed when sexual abuse allegations are surfacing. This is why serious allegations, especially against a Supreme Court nominee, should have been investigated thoroughly by professionals. If Kavanaugh was in the clear, the probe would show it and he'd come out clean like a rose. Instead while he got confirmed, it'll hang over him and his family for the rest of their lives. The refusal to ask for a probe can only raise more doubts and questions.
As of the "perjury" I can't possibly agree with this being of little importance. A person nominated for a lifetime position on the highest court of the land ought to be held in higher standards. Otherwise let's just drop all the bulls**t about commitment to the rule of law and integrity.
