There is a vast conspiracy in place against judges such as Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh who stand for constitutional, limited, government. That hales back much further back in time than the “vast right wing conspiracy . . . against my husband” claim made by Hillary Clinton twenty years ago.Even by Ms. Ford's own telling, in the putative incident:
And the truth of the charges alleged by Ms. Ford against Judge Kavenaugh cannot actually matter.
- nobody was killed.
- the prestige of the US government was not compromised by the brutalizing and murder of a US ambassador.
- nobody spent a night in terror and fighting for their lives without support from their U.S. government employer.
- the incident putatively happened way back in the 1980s.
In that perspective, is Ms. Ford’s angst actually the only thing that matters?
- The US engaged in the Gulf War since then.
- 9/11/01 happened since then.
- The US has fought wars in Iraq and Afghanistan since then.
- No less than a third of the people who were alive in America then have died by now.
So the question for Senator Feinstein, is
- It will never be clear that the charges are true - and it will never be clear that they are false. The charge is too indefinite and witness-free. It asks Judge Kavenaugh to prove a negative. If the facts can’t be known, what would it mean to suggest that the facts are important - or that they matter at all?
“What difference, at this point, does it make?"
Bump.
