Elucidating The Facts About Mr. Kavanaugh
BRETT KAVANAUGH quite predictably denies it all, as such men always do, and in his denial is it implicit that a very successful woman with a career as a college professor and an evidently fulfilling family life would somehow be motivated to fabricate a wild tale about his having made a very impressive, concerted effort to rape a young woman in high school, which was long ago in some ways, not so long ago in other ways. her version adds p, in time, place, and various corroborations. She underwent years of therapy, and talked about it with her husband years ago, which eliminates the eleventh hour hit job theory on a Supreme Court nominee by vengeful liberal Democrats and new media conspiratorial types. Sorry, Alex Jones. Too bad, Mr. President. No conspiracy tweets this time please, they would fall too flat. The lady would have kept publicly quite about it for years for all the usual reasons: shame, fear of retaliation and humiliation, the anxiety of standing in the spotlight. The"Me Too" movement, and Kavanaugh's sudden rise to impending national influence motivated her, quite naturally. The victim's behavior since the alleged incident and recently tends to strongly confirm her story, and at least a few members of the Senate Judiciary committee will doubtless agree, and they will slow down the process. Everything we do as humans is characteristic of who we are. Everything we do matters, no matter who long ago we did it; that's why high school matters long after we leave it, and the reunions continue. There is no statute of limitations on the moral implications of our behavior. Maybe it is characteristic of Brett Kavanaugh to commit attempted rape one time while drunk in high school, and to never do so again. Perhaps not. perhaps like so many powerful high status men in America, Brett kavanaugh is a serial sexual predator, like the person who nominated him. Judge Kavanaugh has pursued, and continue to pursue a career in which transparency, the exposure of facts, and the pursuit of equal justice under law are paramount. Now is the time to dig deeper into Mr. Kavanaugh's past, factually, and his character. due deliberation by the United States Senate is mandated. No more rushing his nomination through in haste, no more refusal to submit all facts and documents to thorough scrutiny. presumably even his supporter will accept this simple truth.
