They did everything they could to keep him off the bench. First, Dianne Feinstein lobbed a grenade into the confirmation hearings with sexual assault allegations against a man with a stellar reputation. And then the pile-on began: Kamala Harris doctored a video to make it appear as if Judge Kavanaugh said something he didn’t. And then came Cory Booker, who infamously deemed himself “Spartacus.” And of course, Fauxcahontas raised campaign cash off the allegations. And now they’re after Justice Kavanaugh again. (Victory Girl, Deanna, covered the newest bull excrement here.)
And naturally, the usual suspects—Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Julián Castro, Pete Buttigieg, and Robert Francis O’Rourke thus far—have jumped aboard the IMPEACH JUSTICE KAVANAUGH! leaking dingy, you know, due process be damned. But rather than allow them control over the narrative, I’d prefer to analyze the reasons behind their latest outrage. Why is Justice Kavanaugh once again the target of the left, including several 2020 Democrat presidential candidates? Here’s my take, in no particular order:
Remember, Kamala Harris earned herself the Four Pinocchio/Flaming Liar award for the Kavanaugh video she altered. Booker proved himself nothing but a showboat given the demands he was making of the judicial committee had already been granted (I guess he forgot the part about Spartacus losing!). And they were promptly filleted by Senator Cruz:
And Julián Castro? Well, he’s just a mean boy who defended his brothers’ doxing of people who hold divergent political views.
But the most dangerous thing about the reactions of these wannabe presidents is their total disregard for the presumption of innocence and their willingness to destroy lives in their quests for power. It tells us everything we need to know about them: if you’ve listened to them closely, you already know that every single one of them, perhaps with the exception of Tulsi Gabbard, is a dictator awaiting power. If only the plebes would hand it to them. And that’s precisely why we never should.
Just like the latest one (part of which the New York Times had to walk back*), anyone with an ounce of intellectual honesty knows that the charges lodged against Judge Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey-Ford and the other accusers were utter horse manure designed to keep Roe v. Wade the law of the land. Nothing more. And so the only question I have is this: Why haven’t these women—at least the ones who admit fabricating their stories—been prosecuted for lying to Congress?
The false allegations against Justice Kavanaugh must cease; so it’s time his accusers were punished with the same consequences as those of the crimes they allege. And yes, civil suits for defamation are most definitely in order. And yes, that includes against active presidential candidates, and even the Gray Lady herself.
*[UPDATED 9-16-19, 7:45 AM PT]: New York Times link added, which reflects the info they edited into their original article: “An earlier version of this article, which was adapted from a forthcoming book, did not include one element of the book’s account regarding an assertion by a Yale classmate that friends of Brett Kavanaugh pushed his penis into the hand of a female student at a drunken dorm party. The book reports that the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say that she does not recall the incident. That information has been added to the article.” Pretty important omission on their part.
The NYT “correction” omits the fact that the “Yale classmate” was one of Bill Clinton’s lawyers during the Clinton impeachment, while (now Justice) Kavanaugh was one of the lawyers on the other side. Adding this “context” introduces the possibility that the accusation may be motivated by jealousy that Kavanaugh progressed to the pinnacle of the legal profession, or by a desire for revenge.
Well said.
You wrote a lot of words there, when the answer is just one:

Heh. Now I’m picturing Deanna in a tux and slicked back hair, with a cigar.
They are fearful that Ruth Bader-Ginsburg could be replaced by Trump.
OK, I know what you meant, but I had this funny image of Trump becoming a SC Justice. Can you imagine how that would go? Oh my!
And should she retire
You flip-flopped those middle two words.

Dang, I wish I could participate in that. *sigh*
Women aren’t this gullible.
Some are. And they hope to push enough into that column to make a difference.
Seeing how they’ve done Kavanaugh, if RBG were to be replaced by Trump, I’d like to see him nominate a solid conservative black woman. When they attempt to lynch her, it’ll prove a couple things: One, they are truly suffering TDS and oppose anything he says or does merely because ORANGE MAN BAD. Two, they don’t really give a rip about “people of color” or women and just using them as stepping stones to amass more power over everyone.
Sure would be a popcorn night.
“They are fearful that Ruth Bader-Ginsburg could be replaced by Trump.”
Why would Trump give up the presidency for a seat on the Supreme Court? He’s not even a lawyer!
“And should she retire, she holds the seat that would be a SCOTUS game-changer if filled by a Republican president.” This would only be true if the person nominated is a Constitutional originalist… there have been far too many justices put on the court by Republican Presidents that turned out to be screaming liberals…
