By: Andrew McCarthy – nationalreview.com – September 21, 2018 This is about preventing a conservative justice from being added to the Supreme Court, nothing more. Senate Democrats’ blatant abuse of the hearing process, their “delay, delay, delay” strategy, continues to pay dividends. Putting a stop to it would be long overdue. Thursday was the day Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s manifestly meritorious...

By: Cristina Laila – thegatewaypundit.com – September 20, 2018 Is this a case of mistaken identity? Accuser Christine Blasey Ford is waging a war on Trump’s SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh with decades-old, unsubstantiated claims of sexual assault in an effort to derail his confirmation to the Supreme Court. Judge Kavanaugh has categorically denied the allegations and even told Senator Orin...

By: Al Perrotta – stream.org – September 19, 2018 It seems that the question of Brett Kavanaugh’s fitness to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court might come down, in the end, to a “he said/she said.” A bit like the confirmation of Clarence Thomas, so many years ago. To this day, opinion is sharply divided on partisan lines as to...

By: Andrew McCarthy – nationalreview.com – September 19, 2018 In my column yesterday, I contended that the unverifiable sexual-assault allegation against Judge Brett Kavanaugh bore “all the hallmarks of a set-up.” I based that assessment on the patently flimsy evidence, coupled with Senate Democrats’ duplicitous abuse of the confirmation-hearing process. To repeat myself: If the Democrats had raised the allegation...

By: Dennis Prager – web.archive.org – September 18th, 2018 It is almost impossible to overstate the damage done to America’s moral compass by taking the charges leveled against Judge Brett Kavanaugh seriously. It undermines foundational moral principles of any decent society. Those who claim the charges against Judge Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford are important and worth investigating, and that...

By: The Editorial Board – wsj.com – September 17, 2018 The woman accusing Brett Kavanaugh of a drunken assault when both were teenagers has now come forward publicly, but that should not deter Republicans from proceeding with their current confirmation-vote schedule. There is no way to confirm her story after 35 years, and to let it stop Mr. Kavanaugh’s confirmation...

By: David French – nationalreview.com – September 17, 2018 One of the very first things that young litigators learn is that memory is a very, very fickle thing — even memories of traumatic events. In case after case, you’ll encounter two opposing litigants who speak with absolutely fierce conviction about key events in their lives, and those memories will often...

By: Michael Kranish – washingtonpost.com – September 5, 2018 Manuel Miranda was in bed Wednesday morning, suffering from a kidney stone, when he heard his name invoked as a key player during the televised hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh. As Miranda listened, Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) suggested that he played a key role in an event...

By: David French – nationalreview.com – September 16, 2018 They’re serious but not solid. The allegations against Brett Kavanaugh — outlined now on the record in the Washington Post by Palo Alto University professor Christine Blasey Ford — are substantial and serious. She claims that Kavanaugh knocked her down, groped her, and attempted to remove her clothes. Here’s the core...

By: Katrina Gulliver – nationalreview.com – September 12, 2018 On September 4, attorney Zina Bash, a former clerk for Judge Brett Kavanaugh who was helping steer his nomination to the Supreme Court through the Senate, appeared to make an important gesture at his confirmation hearings. If you followed the resulting hysteria on Twitter, you could be forgiven for thinking she’d...
