So, days before the vote to confirm the latest nominee to
the Supreme Court, we get the Democratic version of the Hail Mary in the form
of an accusation of sexual assault from Brett Kavanaugh’s high school days. Wow!
Having failed to expose any legitimate reason to oppose the nomination, the
Democrats on the committee have resorted to brutal character assassination and
a return to the battle of the sexes. Every time I think the Liberals have sunk
as far as they can, they find a way to go even lower.
Don’t misunderstand me. Aside from the timing and the obvious
stalling tactics being used, someone with relevant information about the
nominee deserves the chance to share that with the committee. Christine Blasey
Ford should have been given every opportunity to tell her story. And she was. But
the constant outbursts from those who claimed she must be believed, before she even told her tale, were ridiculous. What
possible purpose did her testimony serve, if her supporters had already made up
their minds? The lack of any corroborating evidence makes absolutely no
difference to these people.
Sadly, you cannot prove a negative. Brett Kavanaugh will
never be able to provide concrete evidence that these alleged actions didn’t happen. Dr. Ford, on the other
hand, has ways to prove her assertions. Physical evidence from 36 years ago is
unlikely, but she could possibly produce witnesses to support her version of
events. But so far, the people she has named have provided only denials. They
either didn’t see, didn’t hear, didn’t know, etc. Even her own testimony lacked
crucial details. (And an FBI investigation will likely produce the same results
already uncovered by the committee.)
But let’s go back a bit. There is an actual process for
confirming a Supreme Court nominee. And how did that go? First, the Democrats
on the Judiciary Committee, intentionally set out to disrupt the proceedings by
ignoring the rules of order in a coordinated attempt to DELAY and OBSTRUCT. Of
course, these are the preferred tactics of the Liberal Left at this point.
Next, they turned the entire hearing into a circus with a
series of protesters screaming and throwing tantrums forcing security to
physically remove them from the hearing. And does anyone seriously believe that
the whole thing wasn’t organized by the Democrats?
And finally, the big finish, accusations of attempted rape!
Because why not destroy a man’s reputation and career if it gets you what you
want? Forget what the American people want. Forget who the American people
elected. I have a hard time seeing any of these so-called protests as anything
other than childish tantrums by those who didn’t get their way. (Trump promised
to nominate Conservative judges to the Supreme Court. Hillary promised the
opposite. And many people openly admitted that to be the deciding factor in
their vote for President.)
And so, we’re back to delay and obstruct. Dr. Ford wants to
testify before the Senate, now she doesn’t, now she does. Sorry, can’t come on
Monday, how about Wednesday, no maybe Thursday. Meanwhile the Democrats who
announced before the hearing ever started that they would all be voting against
the nominee, sat back and demanded that she be believed, whether she appeared
or not. And when all that didn’t work? Demand an FBI investigation.
And what about Brett Kavanaugh, considered by many to be the
most qualified jurist in the country for the position? His wife and daughters
have had to endure the onslaught of hatred and listen to the most vile
accusations. The man has spent an entire career working with women who have all
proclaimed him to have been a perfect gentleman at all times. But we’re
supposed to ignore all that and believe that while he was a high school
student, he was some kind of sexual predator. I have a really hard time
reconciling those two images.
So, who do blame for this fiasco? How about we start with
Dianne Feinstein. Apparently, she had the original letter from Dr. Ford in
July. Two months ago. So, during the entire hearing process, she never mentions
these allegations or shares the letter with anyone on the committee? Why? I
only see two possible answers. Either she didn’t find the accusations credible
or she intentionally waited to use the letter in a last minute effort to delay
the proceedings. Neither answer paints her in a very favorable light. She
claims that she held the letter back to honor Dr. Ford’s wish to remain
anonymous, although she or her staff are the likely culprits in leaking her
name to the press. And if she wasn’t going to use Dr. Ford, why did she help
her arrange for a lawyer and a polygraph?
How about Dr. Ford herself? While it is true that these
types of incidents are vastly underreported, it is hard not to question her
timing. She is apparently a liberal activist and she has surrounded herself
with lawyers and advisors with a decidedly leftist political bent. What are her
motives for telling this story at this point? Is this about personal
payback/revenge or is it all because Kavanaugh is a Conservative who the Left
is convinced will single-handedly take away their abortion privileges? My
personal opinion is that anyone who thinks this is about anything other than
politics is just being intentionally ignorant.
And now, we have even more allegations surfacing. Is anyone
surprised that the second accuser admits that she was sought out by Democrats who
went looking for others who would accuse Kavanaugh of crimes? And the third
accuser? The involvement of the publicity hound lawyer Michael Avenatti tells
you all you need to know about her. How much is too much? How much until people
realize that all of this is coming from the side who proclaimed they would do
anything to stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation? And don’t be surprised if this
latest delay is used to give the Dems time to locate yet another accuser.
But of course, the real targets of all this nonsense are a
few RINO Senators and the American public. If Flake, Murkowski, and Collins
give in to the pressure from the Left, Kavanaugh will not be confirmed. And all
you have to do is tune in to the mainstream media, if you want to see plenty of
coverage of the sheep who believe every story and every rumor.
After listening to both sides, I will say this, Dr. Ford may
very well have suffered an assault of some kind in her teen years, but I
honestly do not believe that Brett Kavanaugh had any involvement. She may be
convinced that he is the one who did this to her, but again even her own handpicked
witnesses dispute her version of events. And without evidence how can you
condemn this man and deny him the reward of his lifetime of service to his
country?
