I Know Brett Kavanaugh, but I Wouldn’t Confirm Him

From the article:
I am also keenly aware that rejecting Kavanaugh on the record currently before the Senate will set a dangerous precedent. The allegations against him remain unproven. They arose publicly late in the process and, by their nature, are not amenable to decisive factual rebuttal. It is a real possibility that Kavanaugh is telling the truth and that he has had his life turned upside down over a falsehood. Even assuming that Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations are entirely accurate, rejecting him on the current record could incentivize not merely other sexual-assault victims to come forward—which would be a salutary thing—but also other late-stage allegations of a non-falsifiable nature by people who are not acting in good faith. We are on a dangerous road, and the judicial confirmation wars are going to get a lot worse for our traveling down it.
Despite all of that, if I were a senator, I would vote against Kavanaugh’s confirmation. I would do it both because of Ford’s testimony and because of Kavanaugh’s.
Very well written. Interestingly other than angry op-eds, articles and live interview I have not come across any such quality content written by someone who may stand on the other side of the aisle.
Read this this morning but just cross posted it to one of the raging threads. Excellent piece.
Ridiculous article by some leftwing legal journalist. He finds Ford "credible" and never even addresses her documented lies. At the same time he interprets every ambiguity against Kavanaugh. He also poses an insurmountable challenge that Kavanaugh somehow needed to refute vague charges from 35 years ago.
The biggest joke is his "sad" conclusion that Kavanaugh displayed too much partisanship. So if one side of the aisle mounts an obviously well-planned attack on your life and character out of blatantly political motives, you are supposed to pretend it is not political. IOW play their game and accept that this is a serious charge made in good faith by people with no agenda or motive to lie.

Excellent.
Very noble of a publisher.

You don't but you go on about it rather a lot.
Heh. Kavanaugh took the gloves off and called his persecutors political hacks and all the pretenders have major butt-hurt. He was fighting for his life and had to choose his strategy....and he did that. As I have said before, this process of survival does not have a fine-tuning knob on it.
Ironically, it is rape survivors that are told "if you survived, you did the right thing." Ditton for Kavanaugh. There is absolutely ZERO doubt in my mind he did the right thing by fighting back and living to fight another day- even if the process was untidy. Just very shortly before he testified, everyone in the media and the lefties here were declaring that he was dead in the water due to the "credibility" of Dr. Fraud's testimony. One of our usual tard posters posted "the party is over."
He absolutely did the right thing. If he alienated the pundit butthurt community, they can go to hell. What are you going to do about it?
As I said before, Clarence Thomas went off the reservation too and lashed out in a major way against his lynching. That would be Justice Clarence Thomas now. Bunch of pussies here and in the pundit class who want to destroy a man but can't stand the sight of blood if he fights back.

I know I don’t.
But this is an Internet forum.
