Liberal Writers Made Same Sexual Assault Arguments as Neomi Rao

Pressed on 1994 sexual assault article, Rao says she's 'matured as thinker'

Senate Republicans pushed back against an attack by liberal activists on Neomi Rao's collegiate writings on sexual assault, pointing to articles in the pages of the New York Times and Washington Post that make similar arguments as Rao made at Yale.

Rao, tapped by President Donald Trump to replace Brett Kavanaugh on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, is having her nomination considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. She has been deemed "well qualified" for the seat by the American Bar Association, but will be pressed by committee members about a 1994 article she wrote at Yale in which she argued that "a good way to avoid potential date rape is to stay reasonably sober."

The article was dug up by the Alliance for Justice, a liberal advocacy group dedicated to blocking Rao's confirmation. It has called her writings "vile," "terrible," and "deeply troubling."

The article was featured by NPR and CBS News in their coverage of Rao's confirmation hearing, but Senate Republicans say the argument Rao made nearly a quarter-century ago are not outside the mainstream.
