When Justice Brett Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault in high school, on a date and in a place the victim could not recall, there was little hope of settling the matter via contemporaneous records. But Kavanaugh had more than anyone expected and provided it for inspection. It included personal calendars recording everything he had done during the summer in question.
This evidence, although not definitive, cast further doubt on the idea that Kavanaugh had even met, let alone assaulted, Christine Blasey Ford. His transparency did not settle the matter for partisans, but it put allies’ minds at ease, leading to his exoneration and confirmation to the Supreme Court.
