That excellent point you made “my truth as opposed to your truth” is a fundamental disconnect in our society.
There is little “common truth” now.
For many reasons, we have grown to disdain “their truth” on the Left as it is so obviously based in lies, falsehoods, slander, and political machination, as the accusations against Kavanaugh so clearly are.
They have come to disdain “our truth” not because it is false, but because it conflicts with their ideology and world view, which they view as an “ideal truth” (Utopia) and thus allows them to base their disagreement on what they view as moral terms rather than factual terms.
This may be the fundamental cleavage that will eventually destroy our country if it comes to that.
. . . and that is precisely the point: allowing the asymmetrical situation which I describe as the result of the Sullivan could let things get (even more) deadly serious.My article sketches out a rationale by which SCOTUS could legitimately defuse that.
IMHO that needs to happen - STAT.
