Sure. Zero tolerance for EVERY man accused by women of sexual harrassment and assault. 1 1.79%
No. These acts should be handled as potential crimes and all people deserve due process. Everyone. 44 78.57%
No. Kavanaugh's accusers should have been believed, but Tyson is someone important who I like. Tyson should get due process, but not Kavanaugh. 11 19.64%
Voters: 56. You may not vote on this poll

The lack of honesty, accountability, and morality shown by Kavanaugh is appalling for someone in this position. Judging by his poor speech, public rage rants and ecxema-like red skin, it appears he still has a problem with alcohol too. Our children, especially girls, deserve much better for their future than this compromised turd. deGrasse Tyson will not effect their lives one iota.
We are only to "believe all women" depending on the position the guy holds or is trying to hold? Is that what the left is going with?

Female: "He assaulted me! I'm filing a complaint."

Police: "Sorry ma'am, his job just isn't important enough for us to bother with your allegations."

Well, here is your chance.

And there is corroborating evidence in this case.
And, go figure, the Democrat left mass media is apparently choosing to largely not cover this story. Is anyone surprised? Hopefully not.

The bias of the mass media is most clearly demonstrated by what the choose NOT to cover and what they basically ignore. This is at the core of the reason why these people should not be blindly trusted.

Anyway, this guys should have his life ruined now, right? I am especially interested in what the "believers" of the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh have to say about these incidents.
It definitely disqualifies him from being a supreme court justice. They should definitely pick someone else from the list of judges for the supreme court.

I felt the Dems attempted to railroad Kavanaugh.. no question about it. it was a disgrace... still, i would hope that NDT gets a fair shake.... and all the voices and evidence is heard before he is ostracized from society!

Oh, I see the supposition is that we are the police. Or is that the police only interview complaints based on CD forum?

Either way, sure if the women want to go to the police they definitely should. In the mean time, if we are choosing between Dr Degrasse Tyson and other people for the supreme court who don't have three accusations against them, we should definitely pick one of the other people.

Neil deGrasse Tyson has politicized his scientific presentations and is a public media figure. He was the lead actor in the recent remake of 'Cosmos,' which was filled with all kinds of political cracks and anti-religious gibes. It was very partisan, and no, it was not just all about "science".

So, are we all ready here to retire this hyper-partisan "just believe all women" nonsense now? It sounds like from some of the defenders of Tyson here - who were all for ruining Kavanaugh based solely on uncorroborated accusations - that we just about might be ready to let this go.

Is it time to let this totally unjust and nonsensical approach aside in exchange for treating ALL of these matters as potential crimes with the accused getting all the protections of due process?

Yes or no?

I don't believe or disbelieve her. I have no opinion of her accusations. That being said, having accusations of that type, by that many women, may not mean you are guilty of a crime it can disqualify you from a job. I would no more hire a man with those accusations to be a babysitter in my home than I would allow him to become a supreme court justice.

If you were hiring for a job, and one candidate had multiple accusations and another had none, would you pick him for a sensitive life time job?

They do? Do you have any thing to base this on? Probably not. You made it up because it is another way for you to insult the left.

If that is right, then surely you believe that Tyson should be disqualified from his job and his career. Right?
