Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Supreme Court Nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh
Jeffrey Lord writes at The American Spectator that “Enough is enough.” Despite Democrats’ best efforts, Lord says, Judge Kavanaugh has emerged a hero through this ordeal, just as Clarence Thomas did. He writes:
When Judge Brett Kavanaugh took his seat in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee he did not hold back. Like then-Judge Clarence Thomas in 1991, equally under assault from power-crazed liberal Senators and interest groups who consider the Supreme Court to be a private preserve, Kavanaugh let them have it. Among other things he said:
“You’ve tried hard, given it your all, no one can question your effort. But your coordinated and well-funded effort to destroy my good name and destroy my family will not drive me out.”

But it was Senator Lindsey Graham who had the Joseph Welch moment. Furious — indignant — the Senator from South Carolina let loose, saying angrily as reported by CNS News:

Judge Kavanaugh has emerged a hero after all of this. And ditto with Senator Lindsey Graham.
