Daniel Henninger reminds readers in the WSJ that 63 million voted for Trump in 2016. And it was not the lunatic fringe. Their concerns after two terms of Barack Obama were (1) Hillary Clinton and (2) the direction of SCOTUS. The Kavanaugh nomination has put both these powerful subtexts from 2016 back in play. The […]
Ben Stein: It’s All a Political Hit Job
Writing at The American Spectator, writer, actor, economist, and lawyer, Ben Stein (of Ferris Bueller fame) tells readers that the Blasey Ford/Feinstein attack on Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a political hit job. With no credible evidence surfacing to support Ford’s claims, it’s hard to disagree with Stein. He writes (abridged): I don’t understand how this whole […]
Too Bad Jeff Flake doesn’t Fight like Sheldon Whitehouse
Putting on his best Bill Clinton impression, Jeff Flake voiced his concerns about Judge Brett Kavanaugh—being forced from a senate seat will do that. Flake’s “please all-sides” attempt doesn’t cut it. It’s time to put away the kid gloves. The Democrats, like Sheldon Whitehouse, have. Whitehouse’s disgusting interrogation of Brett Kavanaugh during last week’s hearing […]
Bongino: The Narrative Against Kavanaugh Will Backfire on the Left
“What’s going on out there is an absolute ground-swell of support for Kavanaugh from people who feel his character’s been wrongly maligned.” —Dan Bongino
Recanted: Kavanaugh’s Summer of 1985 in Newport, RI
The groundless accusation of a sexual assault in Newport made by a Rhode Island man against Judge Brett Kavanaugh has been recanted reports The Providence Journal. “Crazy stuff. Gangs, illegitimate children, fights on boats in Rhode Island,” Kavanaugh told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday. “All nonsense. Reported breathlessly and often uncritically by the media.” […]
Kavanaugh/Ford: “The Frustrating Farce is Almost Over”
Can a Supreme Court nominee be taken down by an accuser with no evidence and who the prosecutor assigned to question her found “unconvincing?” That would be the wish of many Left-wing activists today, but David Catron, writing at The American Spectator suggests that the frustrating farce of the Kavanaugh/Ford drama is almost over. He […]
The Democrats Weren’t Counting on This
Pat Buchanan, writing at The American Conservative, explains that Democrats rejected Brett Kavanaugh the day he was nominated. What they didn’t count on, however, was his forceful defense of his own reputation. The Democrats weren’t counting on that, and it just might have saved his nomination. Pat writes (abridged): Astonishing. With a quarter century in […]
Feinstein and Flake Make a Mockery of the Confirmation Process
The fix was in back in July, set up by the negligence of Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office. It was delay, delay, delay from the start. Now that the Dems have their delay, do Republicans like Jeff Flake really believe they’re going to accept any findings that don’t remove Kavanaugh? Not a chance. And yet, […]
The Deep Flaws in Dr. Ford’s Account
In what was Republicans’ one and only chance to have questioned Christine Blasey Ford, Brett Kavanaugh’s principal accuser, they failed to highlight the deep flaws in Dr. Ford’s account. A lawyer, Andrew C. McCarthy points out, could have been completely respectful of Dr. Ford’s emotional distress and still have asked elementary questions. Elementary Questions Not […]
This is How the FBI Investigation will Help Brett Kavanaugh
At The American Spectator, Dov Fischer explains why one more frustrating week helps Kavanaugh and the GOP. Fischer says the weeklong delay for an FBI investigation will give those on-the-fence about Judge Brett Kavanaugh the cover to support his nomination. Fischer writes (abridged): Although few things may seem more frustrating to Judge Kavanaugh’s supporters than […]
