WASHINGTON ― A woman who blamed women for date rape will now fill Brett Kavanaugh’s former U.S. court seat. The Senate voted 53-46 to put Neomi Rao into a lifetime seat on the U.S Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the second most powerful court in the country. Among other things, Rao wrote in 1994 that “a woman, like a man, decides when and how much to drink. She will fill the court seat previously occupied by Kavanaugh, who was confirmed to the Supreme Court in October after an ugly, painful, weeks-long Senate fight over whether women’s sexual misconduct allegations against him were credible and mattered. Kavanaugh denied all of the allegations, alternating between crying, yelling and interrupting Senate committee members and blaming his rocky confirmation process on politics.
