The Circus Is In Town...

I find the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination to be most disturbing.  But today is the hearing and I simply must say, everything about the events leading up to today are in direct conflict with our system of justice. 

The seriousness of the charge is enough for some. For me, it is the veracity of the evidence.  I point an article in the New York Post which looks at eight problems for Christine Blasey Ford today.

1.     She can’t recall where this alleged assault occurred, not sure of the house or even the street. She can’t recall the year.

2.     Ford says she told no one of the alleged sexual attack. Not her best friend, her mother…no one.

3.     The four people she says were at the party, including Kavanaugh, all deny knowledge of the gathering in question.

4.     Members of her own immediate family seem to not be on her side. Her mother, father and two siblings are all conspicuously absent from a letter of support released by a dozen relatives, mostly from her husband’s side.

5.     This summer Ford tried to reach out to old high school friends to jog her memory. They couldn’t help her.

6.     She’s a Democrat, hired a Democrat activist lawyer while she engaged in anti-Trump marches.

7.     Ford says her 2012 therapist will corroborate her account. The shrink noted that Ford told her there were four boys in the bedroom, not two as she says now.

8.     Finally, she told the Washington Post she was upset when Trump won in 2016, because Kavanaugh was mentioned as a potential Supreme Court pick. But Kavanaugh was not added to Trump’s list of possibilities until November of 2017, a full year later.

It is my hope we can get through the day and vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh quickly.

Then the circus will leave town.
