From “Kavanaugh: A Legal Assessment—With Some Personal Reflections” by Harvey Silverglate, WGBH.com (Boston), Sept. 26:When does “adolescence” occur? This is not just my opinion: Society has juvenile courts for transgressions committed in adolescence; the legal system does not want to give mere kids a permanent criminal record. Among many of my friends in Cambridge and Boston, my view of [Brett] Kavanaugh is considered wrongheaded—if not reckless, even dangerous. So, I’ll make matters worse by saying that so much of the case being made against Kavanaugh is cynical, if not outright dishonest. They would not want their own children, nor themselves for that matter, treated in the way they are campaigning for Kavanaugh to be treated.
