By: Jordan Fabian & Scott Wong – thehill.com – September 21, 2018 The White House and congressional Republicans are blaming one another for a difficult political environment that has bolstered Democrats’ chances of winning control of the House, and possibly the Senate. Republicans on Capitol Hill say President Trump’s lack of discipline and penchant for controversy has put them at...

By: Malachi Bailey – westernjournal.com – September 20, 2018 The left’s characterization of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is falling apart after another individual identified as being present during the alleged sexual assault by Kavanaugh has come forward and rejected the accuser’s story. In a letter sent to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California professor Christine Blasey Ford said there were four...

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...
