Alas poor Toucan Sam...I knew him, Tony
The proper response is to make sure Kavenaugh and the other Republican-appointed justices look elsewhere for their law clerks.
I’m thinking law schools south of the Mason Dixon line should be the rule.
“Students Filed Title IX Complaints Against Kavanaugh to Prevent Him From Teaching at Harvard Law”
Students loss.
Sounds like conspiracy to me.
The irony of the Harvard LAW school 'convicting' Kavanaugh without evidence or a trial is lost on the Harvard LAW school.
He doesn’t want to teach at the cesspool anymore. They’re wasting their time.
Just because you're going to graduate from Harvard does not mean that you're particularly smart.
Case in point: Jacqueline L. Kellogg ’19, who appears to be one of those oddities best described as 'people who are educated but not smart'.
Turnabout being fair play, while I myself wouldn't do such things, nor would I even encourage others to do such things, the genie is already out of the bottle, and that bottle has been smashed into shards. There's no obvious way of returning to the status quo ante.
So, there's hardly any doubt that, as a direct result of the current, highly-toxic environment foist upon the rest of us by those such as Kellogg and her fellow travelers, there are ample numbers of nameless, faceless and independently-motivated "concerned citizens" who are already taking note of the identities of those idiots, and planning just how their past "indiscretions" and "crimes" will emerge to derail those idiots' carefully-made-but-essentially-evil plans in the future, should they appear likely to accede to any position of responsibility.
Why, based on the new 'standards' that they have put in place, with such foresight, no doubt some creative writing is already being prepared. It's a new 'sport', after all, now that they have shown us how 'truth' is such a malleable concept. We have seen the light: even though 35-year-old false allegations can apparently do the trick, it's likely a far easier task to prepare the ground contemporaneously, so that there will be plenty of incriminating documents and 'evidence' that can be trotted out at the right time and place for maximum impact.
Not only that, but I have no doubt that an insufferable SJW such as Kellogg has made plenty of enemies already, some of whom may even be masquerading as her 'friends', but who are keeping watch, taking careful notes and photographs, and maybe even embellishing some records to make them even more 'truthy'.
What, Jacqueline L. Kellogg does not keep an accurate calendar showing her daily excesses? No doubt one (or more) can be prepared. Contempraneous notes can also be prepared by future witnesses, if necessary using inks that can be reliably forensically traced to the right years. What does Jacqueline L. Kellogg do on her weekends or evenings that she will be ashamed of in twenty or thirty or forty years? Probably plenty.
Leftist idiots play "the long game." Perhaps "concerned citizens" are even now doing the same.
A lot of people would love that. ASAP. What a shock it would be to the leftists.
Liberalism is a mental illness.
You're wasting your money, Mr. Kellogg.
666.
I would think even a D.C. Circuit Court judge wouldn’t have time to teach at Harvard for the January term.
Was this just a disingenuous offer by Harvard?
I accidentally (figuratively) blew up my book club this weekend. Reading Haidt’s book on morality, someone brought up politics and the near certainty of guilt since very few rape accusations are fake. (Wikipedia says 5%.)
I said that may be true of criminal cases, since the courts have due process, it is a crime to make a false police report, and you get sued for putting people in prison on a lie.
However, when you eliminate due process and presumption of innocence, the courts/tribunals like Title IX end up with a far higher percentage of fake accusations and unsubstantiated ones.
I brought up Laura Kipnis and several other female professors charged under Title IX for “sexual violence” for writing papers and giving lectures that challenged the 1/4 of women get raped stat. That means that when you just believe the victim and design a system that assumes they’re always right, you get a much larger share of false reports and politicized attacks.
Given that’s the Kavanaugh situation, the odds she’s telling the truth aren’t 95% but maybe 50-50 given how long she was silent, the timing and lack of evidence.
He’s done more for women than these snowflakes have any idea.

Above is a video with two female interns that worked for Kavanaugh. Lets just say that he treated them a lot better than Clinton treated his.
The one gal said she still contacts Kananugh with questions when it comes to her career.
I hope this entire reprehensible situation will serve to “diversify” the way Supreme Court justices choose their law clerks. For far too long — and I suspect that Appeals Court judges including Kavanaugh have been complicit in this — there has been this tendency to choose the vast majority of their law clerks from the Ivy schools of law.
Well, perhaps one consequence of this farce will be that justices will open their eyes a little wider and realize that not all the high IQ law students in this country go to the Ivies. There are brilliant students at most law schools in this country. The sad thing is that no one even gives them a chance at the clerkships.
Even Kavanaugh talked about the boost to your career these clerkships are.
I just hope he uses the situation to figure out ways he can work to get rid of the toxic political environment that allowed such a travesty of justice. And I think the best and fastest way would be to cast a wider net — a much wider net — next time he goes fishing for clerks.
You make a very good point and your suggestion should be sent to someone who appears to care in the system...like Secretary DeVos or even President Trump. I wonder who is involved with hiring those, very important clerks.
However, I just do not see how, in the name of justice, we, the people, can reclaim the higher education machine.
If I had college age children, I think I would look at Regent or Liberty or any university that has a good scholastic reputation.
Something must be done.
You must be a very good Mom.
