Dershowitz leads push to seriously punish false accusers: Women who willfully lie should go to prison

h/t Instapundit
Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz believes the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh by Julie Swetnick provide an "educational moment" in dealing with women who falsely accuse men of sexual misconduct.

Dershhowitz joined other panelists on Fox News’ "Hannity" on Tuesday discussing the questionable interview of the Supreme Court nominee’s third accuser.

Swetnick’s NBC interview which aired Monday was filled with accounts that appeared to differ from the sworn testimony she had already provided claiming Kavanaugh had attended parties in high school which were known to have gang rapes of women.

Every one of Swetnick’s claims should be investigated by the FBI for possible perjury, Dershowitz argued, since she appeared in the interview to walk back her sworn statements.

"This becomes a very important educational moment because when you have to teach the women of the world and the men of the world that there is no genetically linked aspect of telling the truth, that women make up stories about alleged events that never occurred and that’s why it’s so important," Dershowitz told Sean Hannity. "But this is an education moment. And the world is watching."
Make some group privileged - there will always be some members of the group who'll abuse the privilege.

#4 The good Professor is right. These clown shows will continue if there are no bad consequences for perjurers. Now if we could just figure out how to wake up Snoozy Sessionzzz.

Kavenaugh should also sue these people (including the MFM) into the poor house, but current U.S. libel laws make it extremely difficult for a "public figure" to win.

#5 ...yeah, go figure. 14th Amendment says we're equal before the law, but a SCOTUS interpretation says there are private and public peoples. Even public individuals can still sue if they can prove malice. I think we've seen a lot of clear malice.
