First Bork,
then Thomas, and now Kavanaugh:
Excuse: “What, Me
Worry”

Any woman’s
identity should not have to be revealed to take her story seriously and pursue
justice for her. Any charge of sexual assault is serious if proven true an
absolute disqualifying reason not to gain a Supreme Court seat for a lifetime appointment.
Conservative
groups pressing for Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation insist there should be no
delay in the confirmation process call this nothing more than a last-minute
attempt at character assassination.
The FBI has
not opened a criminal investigation into the matter, but added the letter to
Judge Kavanaugh’s background file and sent an updated file to the White House and
then to Capitol Hill, where it will be kept in the office of the chairman for
review by senators.
Senators
themselves had little to say publicly about the accusations.
Christine Blasey-Ford
came forward publicly over the weekend, putting her name behind accusations
that had been shared with the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee on
the condition that she remain anonymous.
Ms. Katz,
Ford’s lawyer, told NBC on Monday that Dr. Blasey-Ford believes what she said
Mr. Kavanaugh did to her was attempted rape.
On Monday, a
White House spokeswoman reiterated Judge Kavanaugh’s denial of the incident.
“On Friday,
Judge Kavanaugh ‘categorically and unequivocally’ denied this allegation,” his spokeswoman, Kerri Kupec, said in a
statement. “This has not changed. Judge Kavanaugh and the White House both
stand by that statement.”
Advisers to
the president have privately urged Mr. Trump, who has been accused of sexual
harassment by more than a dozen women, not to address the allegations on
Twitter, his favorite public platform. Ha big joke, but Trump appears mute at
this point – seen here.
Stay tuned – this ain’t over yet – bet on it… thanks
for stopping by.
