Brett Kavanaugh has been the subject of some of the worst vitriol I have ever witnessed in my life as far as politics goes. His history could not be more exemplary yet those on the left have stooped so low as to call him "rapist" among other names. As if that wasn't bad enough, the same scurrilous morons who verbally flayed Kavanaugh and his family now express dismay that would dare defend himself and his family. It makes his temperament unsuitable for a SCOTUS judge, they now assert. This is now the current liberal dog whistle.
Judge Brett Kavanaughs raw, combative defense against a sexual assault allegation from decades ago may have saved his embattled nomination, but his angry, partisan words last week also may have damaged his ability to be seen as a fair justice on the nations highest court.
Kavanaugh said he wrote his statement, which he delivered Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, entirely on his own.
And unlike much of the nation, he said he did not watch the preceding, riveting testimony of Christine Blasey Ford, the California psychology professor who told the senators she was 100% certain a teenage Kavanaugh had drunkenly attacked her when they were high school students in suburban Maryland in the early 1980s.
Determined to clear his name, he did not just argue that Ford, whom he says he had barely known, had mistakenly identified him as the attacker she feared would rape her, or suffocate her by muffling her cries. Rather, he portrayed the accusation as a politically motivated attack by vengeful Democrats, arising from the frenzy on the left to blow me up and take me down.
At weeks end, Kavanaughs confirmation remained in some doubt. The Republican-led Senate bowed to pressure and postponed a confirmation vote for a week while the FBI conducts a limited investigation of the allegations against him by Ford and two other women.
Should he be confirmed, however, at a minimum his nationally televised remarks are likely to linger in Americans memories, further undercutting for many the notion that the high courts decisions reflect a fair, impartial reading of the Constitution, history and precedent and not the nine justices political leanings. In particular, Kavanaughs judicial temperament has been called into question. Maureen Dowd

Never mind his years of service. Never mind his 12 year tenure on the US Court of Appeals.
This is sickening.
Should the women making accusations always be believed in knee jerk fashion?

Used to be the cover-up that got people in trouble.
Now its the defending.
Good one.
It’s Character Assasination.
“Prove you are innocent!” Against unprovable charges.

I don’t know about any of the rest of you, but I haven’t believed in a fair and impartial judiciary for decades. All you have to do is open your eyes.
Fortunately, America seems to be waking up and doing that
