Powerful Men Do Terrible Things: Why Lawyers Like Kavanaugh Perpetrate Sexual Assault
Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh now has two accusers. Listening to debates about the allegations of sexual violence committed by the current SCOTUS nominee, I have been particularly surprised at those who cling to his profession as an attorney and judge as an indicator that he would be morally incapable of doing something as reprehensible as rape or sexual assault. That was, in fact, the opposite of my experience as a law school student.

Catholic bishops plan to pressure Biden over abortion rights. It’s time to make a choice | Carli Pierson
