Instead, I say to you the following:
By divine creation, or by evolutionary development, human beings are endowed with a powerful sex drive, which supports the propagation of the human species.
The sex drive yields much that is greatly desired in human life and society.
The sex drive is also a cause of undesirable human behaviors. These include murder, domestic abuse, adultery, preying on children, abuse of power, deceit, financial exploitation, torture, blackmail, vengeful or attention seeking retaliation, infliction of emotional pain, and psychologically violent hatred.
Both the good and the bad of the human sex drive have gone on throughout history.
Society devotes efforts trying to prevent undesirable behaviors that the human sex drive causes.
Currently, we are living through the Me Too movement that is unsettling relations between the sexes in business, government, and other organizations. Me Too is imposing new punishments on behaviors that society is now seeking to prevent.
Me Too is an ongoing phenomenon. It is unknown currently exactly what changes in the relations between the sexes will be brought about, what punishments will be imposed to achieve the changes, and what due process will be provided in imposing punishments.
Me Too is happening in the midst of a revolutionary new world of the Internet, social media, technology, and public attitudes, which are assaulting people's ability to keep anything private in their lives.
There is no downplaying how Me Too is affecting important matters of equality between the sexes, the use and seeking of power by the sexes, how children will be raised, the personal and economic impact of punishments to change sex behaviors, privacy, due process, fairness, and proportionality.
This revolutionary new Internet and technology driven world is exposing to public view not just activity in the sex domain, but also other aspects of people's lives that have been kept private or hidden in the past.
Our society is only beginning to come to grips with the ramifications of this new world's assault on privacy and secrets. All persons are touched by this and may be affected in adverse ways. Many will have views about the way things should be, and will try to influence what shall happen in the privacy destroying aspects of the new revolutionary world of the Internet and social media.
Consider the current controversy about how sexual assault allegations are handled on college campuses. Students against whom sexual assault allegations are at risk of being branded with that for the rest of their lives, such as in seeking employment. Society is confronted with having to decide whether such branding is acceptable, and if that is viewed as unacceptable, society needs to find a way to limit or prevent such branding.
At the moment, the Trump administration, presumably with significant support of some people, is endeavoring to change how sexual assault allegations are handled on campuses to provide more due process for the accused.
The new flyspecking of human conduct that is possible in the revolutionary new world of the Internet, and its associated "see all, hear all, record all" technology, can take "branding" in many directions.
Take acts of dishonesty and fraud. The United States could create a mammoth, publicly accessible data base in which acts of fraud, or allegations of fraud, may be entered on a person's name, which may be accessed, for example, by prospective employers in hiring a person or not.
Other forms of branding may come about. Violent outbursts of people could be reported by observers and entered into a public data base for searching, such as by employers.
Let me return to the human sex drive and Me Too.
The cases of Les Moonves, Jeff Fager and others in business and other organizations during the past year are exhibits of conduct that the sex drive causes and that society currently thinks must be punished and prevented. Besides the personal punishment of the individual involved, businesses and other organization are being deprived of valuable services that the individual provided. In meting out the punishments, society is struggling with defining exactly what behaviors should be changed and what should be proper due process in the imposition of the punishments.
All the types and the quantum of behavior of people that their sex drive causes and that may be caught up by Me Too as being necessary of being punished and prevented will take years to determine.
People are aware of their sex drive, and what it causes or may cause them to do, such as adultery, paying for sex, and taking advantage of situations to obtain sex. People are learning of new costs that may be imposed on them by Me Too regarding conduct that results from their sex drive.
I am a male. I was and am endowed with a male sex drive, which has been with me during my life. I have learned about the male sex drive, and the behavior it causes or may cause, both from my own person and from being an observer of other males.
Females know best about the female sex drive, the behaviors that it causes, and the uses that females make of sex.
The above that I have discussed has far reaching implications for the relations between the sexes and for other realms of people's lives, and these are much more important to the country than the matter of who is going to fill the immediate vacancy on the United States Supreme Court.
Having talked about the human sex drive, I believe it is fair game also to talk about power lust, undesirable behaviors that are caused by power lust, and how to reduce the undesirable behaviors, including by invading areas that have been previously been kept private and hidden from public view. For example, body cameras might be placed on lawmakers and their staffs to record everything that goes on in their carrying out the public's business.
We are all in uncertain territory about what is going to in fact play out and how things will be in future years.
We all may have some say in what plays out.
Lawmakers may pass laws that affect the matter.
There will be much societal discussion and debate, out of which consensus may arise about what behaviors caused by the sex drive must be prevented, including taking into account the deprivation to society of valuable services, and about what is due process in the imposition of punishments.
People will have ways to speak and sometimes ways to act in order that they may try to influence how the new revolutionary world is shaped. Not all will agree with what another person says or does.
I am entitled to speak and have an opportunity here to act as may affect how the new revolutionary world is shaped.
This I choose to do by taking the position that I will not affirm or deny the allegation that has been made against me of conduct while I was in high school, and that instead I say the above to you..
Members of the Senate Judiciary and members of the United States Senate may choose to take into account, or to disregard, this stand of mine, all as they see fit.
I further aver that I think members of the Judiciary Committee and members of the United States Senate should not be adversely affected in their voting decision regarding me by the fact that I decline to affirm or deny the allegation in question and that I instead choose to say what I have said above.
I will accept whatever the outcome that the Judiciary Committee and the United States Senate decide for me.
Thank you.
