There is no doubt that she was sexually assaulted by someone all those years ago, but Brett Kavanaugh's principal accuser is confused. The others are rather worse than that. And Kavanaugh himself is a drunken hysteric who ought not to be allowed to judge so much as a vegetable-growing competition.
But in observing this spectacle, my many friends in American paleoconservatism, many of whom come from the same background as Kavanaugh's, are bewailing the apparent loss of the American cultural homogeneity that was extolled by the Founding Fathers.

ReplyDeleteThe rest of us are campaigning for the first conservative Supreme Court majority since Warren.
Having confirmed him, you wouldn't win another election in 30 or 40 years, so it would be academic. He wouldn't strike down legislation that you wouldn't be in a position to enact in the first place. Get someone else. Or, quite literally, get stuffed.
