THE MORALITY ATTACKS ON BRETT KAVANAUGH
The Democrats have a two pronged strategy in demanding Senate hearings on the #MeToo accusations of 3 women against Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court. One is to search through Kavanaugh’s high school associates for anyone with evidence of wrongdoing in order to present yet more accusers that “must be heard” —hoping that an endless line of “me too” hearings in the Senate will delay the vote until after the November mid-term elections where the Democrats hope to win a majority in the Senate. The second is to gain sufficient sympathy for the main accuser, Christine Ford, so that even with a lack of proof, several liberal Republican Senators will decline to confirm Kavanaugh. With well over a month to go before the election, the delaying tactics are not likely to work. Even if Democrats do win a majority in November, they don’t take office until January of next year, leaving plenty of time for a vote even after the election. However, the second tactic is likely to succeed with half a dozen weak-kneed GOP Senators likely to defect to the Democrats, including Sens. Susan Collins (ME), Lisa Murkowski, (AK) and Jeff Flake (AZ). This week I will analyze the accusers’ various cases against Kavanaugh as well as the holes in their claims.
