Stephen Colbert 'Late Show' writer: 'I'm just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh's life'
Fox News ^ | 07 October 2018 | Gregg Re

Posted on 10/07/2018 2:04:57 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

In a social media post on Saturday, a writer for CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" seemingly celebrated the damage done to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's reputation during his bruising and bitterly partisan confirmation battle.

"Whatever happens, I'm just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh's life," the writer, Ariel Dumas, posted on Twitter. Dumas later briefly made her account private, preventing others from viewing her posts without her approval.

Her tweet came as the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court by a 50-48 vote, with Republicans saying that the several allegations of decades-old sexual misconduct brought against him simply lacked sufficient corroboration and credibility.

Dumas apologized on Sunday, claiming she was being "sarcastic" because Kavanaugh's elevation to the Supreme Court demonstrated that his life had not, in fact, been entirely derailed by the accusations as some Republicans had claimed.

"Whatever happens, I'm just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh's life."

— "The Late Show" writer Ariel Dumas (deleted tweet) "The last couple of weeks have been hard for the country and for me personally," Dumas wrote. "The complexity of frustration, anger and sadness can’t be accurately conveyed on twitter, and I regret my tone-deaf attempt at sarcasm in the wake of it."

You have to wonder if they know how evil they are to be happy about trying to destroy someone?

Biblically, Kavanaugh’s daughter has it right. Reminds me of a verse where it is like heaping hot ashes on the heads of one’s enemies. The person either repents, or in anger self destructs.

As we saw with the last round of James O'Keefe videos, we are now seeing people in influential positions (government administrative state, mass entertainment) who have no regard for the accomplishments of others, boundaries on behavior, and respect for the law.

This is a direct result of raising a generation of children on ribbons of participation instead of rewards for hard work. Today's young adults were not taught value achievement because everyone achieved equally regardless of effort or skill. Therefore, the feel no remorse at trying to destroy what others have built.

They feel no obligation to live by a set of civil rules of order, because rules didn't matter when it came time for rewards.

Your #62 gives meaning to the concept of a “polite economy of words’”.

Sullivan, of course, preserved the right of a public figure to sue for defamation; it just wisely added the safeguard that defendant must be shown to have acted with "actual malice" (which includes reckless disregard of the truth).

Many legal scholars (but probably not those 2500+ purported legal profs that petitioned against his confirmation) believe Justice Kavanaugh would have no problem demonstrating actual malice.

Guess what Ariel, you slutty hag, you DIDN’T ruin his life !!! He’s a Supreme Court justice now, he has a wonderful family, a large circle of friends, and millions of people who love and support him.

You lost, Ariel, and Justice Kavanaugh is going to have a wonderful rest of his life!! Go s*ck on that, you filthy hag!!!

I retract post #94.

I am informed that there is already a Trump TV, and it is not the conservative competition for Fox that I hoped for.
