And so we have a constitutional duty to get to the bottom of these allegations. They are serious, and credible, and now the person with the most knowledge about them, namely Judge Brett Kavanaugh has a responsibility to come forward with evidence to rebut them.

How can this guy even be a Senator when he has no clue as to,a person’s constitutional rights? Presumption of innocence is a basic tenet to our justice system.

A number of Democrats have taken this position.

I look forward to the opportunity that Judge Kavanaugh has on Thursday to provide the committee a primer on American Justice.

Justice for all is a bedrock of our nation. Justice for all is of the people, by the people and for the people.

“All he needs to do is produce videotape of his every waking and sleeping moment. I mean, they had VHS tapes back then, right? How hard would it be to record himself? WHAT IS HE HIDING?”

Democrat == Communist

Communist == Genocide

Stalin. Mao. Pol Pot.

The leftists intend to impoverish us, imprison us, and kill us.

Plan accordingly.
