Honestly, I can't decide which is more accurate...

Another Woman Steps Forward

So a second woman steps forward with a charge against Kavanaugh. It’s in the New Yorker, I’m too lazy to link to it.

She claims he exposed himself to her at a party. During a drinking game. Where she was so drunk that when she initially came forward, she wasn’t sure of her story. It was only after the reception of the story from the Democratic staffers and the journalists that she suddenly became sure.

What am I supposed to say?

It’s been more than three decades. Suddenly now, it’s the time she wants to tell the world she saw his penis and, possibly by accident, touched it.

On the one hand, it’s a second allegation. On the other hand, it’s a less serious one. There was no force involved. If we believe he’s a sexual predator, would it not make sense that his predations would increase and he would become more bold as he gets away with them?

Look, I have daughters. G-d forbid anything happen to them that would be in the category of sexual assault. I would want them to be reported immediately. Probably to me and not my wife because she would get caught after killing the offender because she would make mistakes in her rage.

I remember the Anita Hill allegations. Yes, it was handled differently but that’s because the circumstances were difficult. Everything alleged by Ms Hill happened in a federal context, giving the FBI clear jurisdiction to investigate. What’s more, Ms. Hill’s claims were not ancient nor were they ones which could not be substantiated. I believed most of what Hill alleged (I remember there was this thing about a Coke can that just never made sense to me). What’s more, Hill came out and testified. There was no evasion like Ford.

Now, could that be because Hill is made of sterner stuff than Ford? Perhaps. Different people react to things differently and perhaps it is unfair to judge Ford by Hill. But that is my opinion.

But how are we to judge these allegations? Some people, people like the top sex crimes prosecutor in New York, have said it’s not uncommon for allegations to not be made for a long time, if ever, for women in certain age groups. That when they come out in therapy, it’s not uncommon.

So I accept that can be the case for many women. But at what point should confessions made for therapeutic purposes be used as the basis to deny someone confirmation? These claims are old. They are hard, if not impossible, to prove or disprove.

And then there’s the timing. These were not made at the outset of the confirmation hearings. They were not made during the confirmation hearings when Kavanaugh was confirmed to the DC Court of Appeals. They were made only after the Democrats took their best shot at him, twice really, with allegations ranging from lying about whether he knew he was being sent stolen documents or whether his views were too “extreme” or whether there was something hidden in the Bush documents.

It was only after those failed to gain traction that the smears started. Andntheir invidious because we are told that if we do not believe Ford and the latest accuser, then we are promoting rape culture and betraying all women, and abetting sexual predators, like those named William Jefferson Clinton and Harvey Weinstein.

At the same time, the Democrats scream that we should ignore the claims of Ms. Karen Monohan. She claims that Keith Ellison (Congressman from Minnesota, number 2 at the DNC, and current candidate for Attorney General of Minnesota) committed acts of domestic violence against her as recently as two years ago. Claims she revealed contemporaneously tonher doctors and which her son she knows about. Why is her claim treated differently by the Democrats, even though based on the reports in the news and the documents Ms. Monohan has released on twitter? Why do they say we should not believe her but we should believe those making claims against Kavanaugh?

As Harry Bosch would say, everyone matters or no one matters. And the Democrats are making it clear that no one matters if it threatens their drive for power.

So we are left with a man as he is today. We have no evidence that the man who currently sits on the bench of DC Circuit is anything other than a conservative minded judge who believes the constitution has meaning and is not subject to whatever modern interpretation we would like to assign it. We have no allegations that he is a philanderer. No one has stepped forward and claims he has installed a button to lock the door of his office to trap women in his chambers. We have not heard of him abusing staff. No one has claimed that he has sent nude pictures of himself over the Internet the minors.

We have allegations of a teenager that have no corroboration. We have allegations of a college freshman at a party exposing himself. For the sake of argument, let’s say the last one is true. Do we say that everything a person does that is in poor taste as a teenager should be used to forever tarnish them? Are we to confirm a person based solely on the mistakes they made decades ago?

Because the argument since the Clinton administration is that we’re not supposed to disqualify people for youthful indiscretions. (Yes, there was a time when smoking marijuana was considered a disqualification from holding office. That’s how old I am.) Hell, we’re even told that supporting racists and antisemitism panding people when you’re an adult is not something to be held against a person as long as it was before they were elected. Yes, I’m referring to Obama’s preacher and Ellison’s hero.

My sense is, at the end of the day, this is a cynical attempt by the Democrats to leverage the #MeToo atmosphere to defeat a judicial nomination. Absent proof of some sort, how else is a reasonable person supposed to judge the person Kavanaugh is today?

Confirm Kavanaugh.

Feinstein: 'I Did Not Even Read The Full FBI Report on Kavanaugh'

As we predicted before the FBI probe was requested by the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Democrats would create a stink regarding the results. They have fought this nomination with everything they have. Additionally, they have made it clear that they refuse to vote yes to confirm Kavanaugh--regardless of the FBI findings. Now, Dianne Feinstein refuses to accept the truth.

CNN Blasts FBI Scope Results on Kavanaugh—Hasn't even Seen the Report

As you may have heard, the FBI scope results on Judge Brett Kavanaugh are complete. They were sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday. They have placed the report in a safe until the committee can discuss the results right before they vote on Friday. Now, though they have not seen the results, CNN TV personalities Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo discuss the inevitable Kavanaugh confirmation with their usual bias.
