Its just shy of a year since Brett Kavanaugh took his seat on the Supreme Court. On cue, the New York Times on Sunday published a previously unreported story claiming that as a Yale undergraduate at a drunken dorm party, Mr. Kavanaugh had his pants down while friends pushed his genitals into the hands of a female student. The accusation is similar to Deborah Ramirez s assertion last year in the New Yorker about another drunken Yale party.
What has happened since is familiar. No sooner is the bombshell story dropped than it starts to look like a dud. It emerges, for example, that this new allegation isnt really newthe Federal Bureau of Investigation and senators knew about it during Mr. Kavanaughs confirmation hearingsand the Times never spoke to the man who had made the charge, Max Stier.
On Monday the Times added a humiliating editors note admitting its story omitted a crucial fact: The purported victim declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall such an incident. That hasnt stopped the Democrats 2020 candidatesincluding Cory Booker, Julián Castro, Kamala Harris, Beto ORourke, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg from calling for the justices impeachment.
In short, the new accusation fails for the same reason the earlier ones did: lack of evidence. Any fair-minded reading of Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court by Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino would lead to the conclusion that the accusations that Mr. Kavanaugh is a sexual predator remain at best unsubstantiated and at worst fabricated. And one way to read Sundays Times story is as confirmation that, after a year of investigation, the evidence for Christine Blasey Ford s allegation of sexual assault..

Unfortunately, they pinned not an asterisk but a big huge red, glowing, blinking target on this studied, benevolent, innocent man. There it will live forevermore.
I haven’t read all the stories-—I get too mad after a few lines, but have people asked why on earth a woman would now remember a crime from years ago when every TV, radio, cellphone and computer had news available with “tense, contentious Kavanaugh hearings unearth stories Dems hope will sink his hopes for court.”?
NOW something new comes out. Gimme a break.
Pay wall.
If ever in full power again, one worries that these hysterical Dems/Stalinists might be targeting all (all) of their perceived dissenters with similar, frothing, feverish mob rage.

Communists to the core. They make the lynch mobs of old look like saints.
This is why Grassley made a monumental error in letting Ford get away with what she did.
The asterisk is on the democrat party.
No we aren’t supposed to ask questions such as that.
We are supposed to accept on face value, everything the liberal New York Times, and liberal politicians, tell us.
We aren’t supposed to be critical thinkers. We are supposed to swallow whatever pablum they spoon feed us.
So we are supposed to now accept that the Kavanaugh story has escalated, and that now they have upped the ante, and call for impeachment. We are just supposed to blindly accept this reasoning.
Is it a six pointed asterisk star?
Normal people knew this immediately.
The Republicans seem to lack gonads when it comes to pursuing charges against Democrat sponsored “victims” when their stories fall flat and they just disappear into the fog.
....’’Kavanaugh had his pants down while friends pushed his genitals into the hands of a female student. The accusation is similar to Deborah Ramirez s assertion last year in the New Yorker about another drunken Yale party.’’
In order for this to be even possible he would have to be the greatest ‘’swordsman’’ in the history of MANkind. John Holmes, Milton Berle, Etc. would be as little boys compared to anybody that was equipted well enough for this to have happened.
Wonder? Pal, trust me,they’ll be putting everybody they hate to the wall. I’m not kidding. I used to be one of them.
PING!
Yep.
When people are charged with no evidence, and when there is plenty of evidence but no one is charged, there is an attack on the rule of law itself.
