I've come around to the belief that we should be requiring a polygraph exam of anyone who wishes national attention over long ago allegations of sexual abuse before these things are allowed to detail our political processes. There is no reason to believe Blasey Ford and disbelieve Reade or vice versa. Not requiring this has brought us to the point where people only believe what is politically expedient for them to believe.
Right now, there's no reason someone can make these kinds of allegations in a way that will bring no real closure to the matter. Kavanaugh and Biden have both had there names sullied, but to say that either accusation has been proven even to the level of probable cause. So I want those making decades old allegations to take a polygraph by a neutral polygrapher before there allegations go center stage. They should not simply be believed uncritically. I can't think of a way that's more fair to the American public. Because these allegations by Blasey Ford and Reade are, at this point and in this context, political accusations. Unfair? Maybe, but it's the least worst way at this point.
Polygraphs are unscientific garbage
