The redeeming moment of the Kavanaugh judicial hearings was when the Judge tearfully spoke of his wife and daughter praying for Dr. Ford, his alleged-victim. That single act of a child-and-mother more than overcame the character assassination, the obnoxious circus antics, the narcissistic hystrionics of Cory-Sparticus-Booker and the cruelty of leaking and outing Dr. Ford.
It helps to recall that all this activity is about a single issue: abortion! Everything else is small potatoes! I was reminded: if your defining and consuming cause is legalized destruction of the fragile, powerless human person than why would you hesitate, for a single second, in destroying man's reputation and family as well as violating the privacy of a previously abused woman? The moral rot at the core of the Democratic Party has corrupted so deeply over half a century that it contaminates even the very best and worthwhile elements of the Party. Consider the hypocricy: Bill, almost certainly a habitual abuser, and his enabler-protector Hillary, continue to be luminaries of the Left solely because they are pro-choice! Me-too, identity politics, health care, economic equality, immigration and even dump-Trump all bow to the god, constitution, the soul of the Party: abortion!
If you love legalized abortion, you will hate Kavanaugh! If you hate legalized abortion, you will love Kavanaugh. It really is that simple!
Dr. Ford, by virtue of her sincerity, sweetness, fragility, precision, intelligence, and modest certainty was captivating, endearing, and absolutely convincing. It is, to me, inconceivable that she is lying. It is, to me, overwhelmingly probable that she experienced what she related. During her testimony my lawyer-son texted me: "The nation is literally weeping!" I know that I was. Her narrative was entirely credible: specific, clear, internally consistent and entirely coherent with what we know of 17-year-old Brett.
Her credibility, the seriousness of the matter, the sensitivity of the abuse of women in our society today, and the high bar we set for Supreme Court justices all make a reasoned case against the Judge.
Those considerations, however, do not overcome the case for him. The allegation, albeit convincing, is entirely uncorraborated. The event, as described by her, with the alcohol and laughter, seems not to be a deliberate rape but some kind of prank or horseplay on the part of the alleged attacker. But we will probably never know the full truth. Most importantly, the alleged event is not part of pattern of abuse of women: if it happened, it is an anomaly, an exception, an aberration; an impulsive, intoxicated, adolescent stupidity, albeit with horrendous consequences upon this delicate 15-year-old. By all accounts, he reveres and advances women and is a man of exceptional character and enormous competence.
I am proud that Dr. Ford was given a respectful, gentle hearing. Even Donald behaved (relatively) well! I am glad there is an FBI investigation although I think it will be far less thorough than what has already been done by the media and investigators for the abortion lobby. Unless there is a serious revelation, he should be confirmed. And we would all do well to join mother Ashley and daughter in prayers for the Ford and Kavanaugh families as well as for the good of our country!
