Blasey-Ford’s scared little girl voice has disappeared in first public statement since her Senate testimony

When Professor Christine Blasey-Ford testified against the Supreme Court nomination of then-Judge Bret Kavanaugh, my very first impression was that her voice sounded fake. She sounded like a scared little girl, her voice tremulous, creating an impression of sadness and vulnerability. Just the thing to create sympathy. I immediately wondered if this was some sort of act, or if her mental state was somehow altered for her performance on national television. As a former professor myself, I wondered how on earth she could command a classroom with that scared little girl voice.
For the first time since her testimony, we now have the opportunity to hear her voice, and guess what? She doesn’t sound at all like the witness whose fear and suffering moved so many Democrats and feminists. She sounds like a grown-up, a professor indeed.

Concerted opposition to the independent judiciary has begun to percolate on the left with little scrutiny. Last week, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez, Hillary Clinton’s former spokesman Brian Fallon, and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna rallied activists seeking to enervate judicial independence through proposals like court-packing and term limits for justices.

For most of that time, progressive jurists circumvented the normal constitutional amendment process by reading into the law meanings that were never there to impose desired social policies on the nation, exceed the enumerated powers, and traverse protections of individual rights.

These proposals arguably lift the veil on the far left, which mostly saw the judiciary as a means to be exploited for narrow political ends. They are naked attempts to subsume judicial prerogatives into the political branches, thereby fundamentally endangering the liberty of the people. The three branches are separate and designed to check one another for a reason.
Whenever legislative, executive, and judicial powers are consolidated into fewer than three bodies, there’s a risk that one may violate the Supreme Law and the rights of the people with impunity. Without an independent judiciary to review the legality of the government’s transgressions against the people, there is little to stop them other than electoral failure.
