Feinstein sat with Kavanaugh, by herself, to discuss ANYTHING she wanted..and she didnt bring up ANYTHING relating to this..this is a tactic from the left to delay the inevitable..he WILL be confirmed, they know it, we all know it..and this just shows how absolutely DESPICABLE they are

The desperation of this does nothing but help Kavanaugh... ESPECIALLY since RBG said the other day that the process was better when she and Scalia were confirmed.

The Cover up is worst than the crime.....

The Charges against Kavanaugh will be he helped Georgetown Prep cover up this priest scandal....That is why it’s been referred to the FBI and Justice Dept.

https://dailycaller.com/2011/01/31/georgetown-prep-liberal-catholicism-and-sexual-abuse/

Cover up is always worst than the scandal....

Last week, I wrote in The Daily Caller about the arrest for alleged sexual abuse of Garrett Orr, a former priest and teacher at my high school alma mater, Georgetown Prep. That piece can be found here.

Shortly after the piece came out, I got an email from a former Prep student. It turns out that the abuse is wider than I thought. Orr wasn’t the only one.

Before getting to that letter, a distillation of my piece from last week. My point in that piece was that for the past 40 years, if not longer, there has been an effort by liberal Catholics to subvert, censor and generally eradicate orthodox Catholicism. (As Richard John Neuhaus once put it: when orthodoxy is made optional, sooner or later it is proscribed.) This has been done mostly through teaching on human sexuality. The result has been not just a loss of faith, but the abuse of kids in the schools — including Georgetown Prep, a place that otherwise does so much to foster community, faith, and brotherhood. The equation is pretty simple: if you teach young people that religion is all about peace and love and expressing yourself, and not about conquering yourself in the service of a greater, richer, freedom, you will get a religion that is bland and leaders and teachers who are more liable to abuse kids.

The email I received from the former Georgetown Prep student eloquently describes how liberal Catholics have corroded Catholicism.

An important note: I am not endorsing only exposing kids to approved authors and theologians. I have always advocated giving them both sides. What is so damaging about liberal Catholicism is that it has a totalitarian streak. In 2005 I made this argument in a book called “God and Man at Georgetown Prep.” Shortly after, a faculty member asked to meet with me to talk about the conclusions I came to. He also told me that he was meeting me against the advice of the rest of the faculty, and that any chance of me coming to the school to speak to the kids and defend my position was out of the question. Ah yes, the great Jesuit intellectual tradition: if someone raises an argument you don’t like, walk away and ignore them.

I have been given permission by the student who sent me the email to publish it here. Names have been changed or deleted. Two things to know: the Heights school, which is mentioned in the letter, is a fine and orthodox Catholic school. Also mentioned is Michael Rose’s book “Goodbye Good Men,” an examination of the takeover of the priesthood by liberals.

Gay lovers with priest scandal.....

November 10, 2011

A former priest was sentenced to five years of supervised probation Thursday for fondling two students at Georgetown Preparatory School, where he taught from 1989 to 2003, as prosecutors compared the school’s initial response in the case to the scandal unfolding at Penn State University.
v

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell also attended Georgetown Prep.

I hate urinalists!

“It was unclear what school the letter writer attended.”

Brilliant!

It’s not “unclear”. You have NO IDEA. You don’t know who this person even is.

I think that the word “toxic” is tossed around frequently. So, toxic = fatal, I guess.

Yeah, I know; I went to an all boys high school too.

My point was that if she (or her lawyer)claims to have gone to high school with him, then she(or her lawyer) is a liar.

Although given the way this conspiracy has been put together, I have serious doubts that this ‘woman’ even exists.

I did things when I was in High School that I am not proud of. It would make for good gossip but not much else. Glad that I am not running for the SCOTUS.

Oh, and I probably pooped my pants when I was being potty trained so there is that.

The only stones she has are rattling around in her head.

Well, they can’t be marbles because Diane Feinstein has obviously lost hers.

And here I was beginning to believe that perhaps this old hag had “somehow” gained some sanity in her dotage.

The dirty traitor has much to lose by an uncorrupted Supreme Court. Think ChinaChaffuerGate.

And she is not alone. Hence the vicious fight to at least delay till after the mid-terms JUST IN CASE the derps take over and can squash all investigations and Kavanaugh.

These derps are DESPARATE and PANICKED.

It's fun to watch, really.

Plus, What girl from a 'high school mixer' even remembers the name of some guy that might have groped them or insulted them or whatever at said mixer, unless there was an actual rape, (And there would be little opportunity for such, if the ones I attended were typical, with eagle eyed chaperons guarding all the doors) or unless they hit it off and developed a longer relationship.
