The Kavanaugh Allegation Process Is A Miscarriage Of Justice For Everyone
The Federalist ^ | September 19, 2018 | Mollie Hemingway

Posted on 09/19/2018 10:08:46 AM PDT by detective

After the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh concluded last week, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., revealed that for six weeks she’d hidden a claim he’d sexually assaulted someone. Christine Blasey Ford then told the Washington Post that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers.

Although she said she doesn’t remember where or when the alleged event occurred, she said she believes it may have been in the summer of 1982 and that Kavanaugh’s friend Mark Judge was present for the assault. Notes from a couples therapy session in 2012 show that she spoke of an assault involving four boys, not two, from an elitist DC boys’ school. Kavanaugh isn’t mentioned in the notes, but Ford’s husband says she told him the name at that time and said she was worried he might be a Supreme Court nominee in the future.

Kavanaugh categorically denies the allegations. Judge says he doesn’t recall any such event and that Kavanaugh didn’t behave that way. Another alleged party attendee named by Ford says he doesn’t recall such a party and that Kavanaugh didn’t behave that way.

The Democrats are simply delaying the vote and trying to prevent Judge Kavanaugh from being confirmed.

They do not care about the evidence. They do not care about the truth, the questionable 35 year old allegations or about seeking justice. The do not care if they destroy a man's life, his family, his reputations or his career.

Feinstein should have done their “due diligence” BEFORE passing this on.

Feinstein should have done their “due diligence” BEFORE passing this on.

It’s obvious that she thoroughly looked at this over a two month period of time.

A plan was in place including to push this forward once everything else failed. This wouldn’t be Anita Hill with testimony before the committee. This would be a huge broadside to intimidate the liberal GOP flank and vulnerable Democrat senators.

It was a political gambit. To stop the nomination dead in it’s tracks. What they didn’t account for is any kind of scrutiny and a call for public testimony.

She will regret this in the days to come. Whatever legacy she had, history will show she had zero regard for due process for the accused of a flimsy baseless charge intended to destroy a man’s sterling reputation.

Hopefully by then, Democrats will lose two seats on the Judiciary Committee.

How is it, that now Christine Ford is a victim of the process, a victim who will be punished by a Senate hearing and all that?

She and Feinstein stir up this hornets nest, but Christine is a victim? When she initiated this horse blank in the first place???

> A Miscarriage Of Justice For Everyone
In theory: YES.
Constitutionally: YES.
Publicly/Socially: NO.

Theory and Constitution are the “good old days” many of us want to return to. You can call it “Obama’s transformation” but I’d say it goes back further. And Kavanaugh’s accuser is not a “miscarriage of justice” in today’s government and society. This is “normal” to both voters and elites from both parties. Confirming Kavanaugh will be great, but almost meaningless - “normal” will still be messed up.

We need honest conversations about the meaning of the Constitution and limitations of government. We need people to be educated on what it means when there are no limitations on government. “No Limits” is a “normal” opinion for too many people if they approve of the issue, rather than “No Limits” being a miscarriage of justice or misapplication of the Constitution.

I am sure that this is far from over. You can bet your boots that they have other bought and paid for “witnesses” ready and waiting.

Ratings are very low for many of the media news programs. How do they make money when they are losing money? Could it be Soros is funding the media and the media is the Democrat Party voice? If very few people are watching, who is paying the bills?
