HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF WITHOUT AN ACCUSATION

You Can't

by Bob Walsh

Judge Kavanaugh's accuser has put down a list of preconditions (demands) before she will appear before the judiciary committee. One of them is that she gets to choose who will question her. Another is that Kavanaugh has to be questioned first.

Since when do witnesses get to make these choices? Also, how the hell can Kavanaugh defend himself against an unspecified charge?

Remember, he has not even seen the "accusation" (letter) his accuser wrote. Neither has anybody else on the committee except Dianne Feinstein as far as I know. Certainly the Republicans have not. All there is is a non-specific accusation. An accusation is not evidence. There is no actual evidence. She does not even know what year this alleged attack took place. She does not know where it took place. She does not know who else was there. She does not know how she heard of the party in the first place. (Remember, this was pre-internet.) She does not know the name of the host. She is demanding the FBI "investigate" the "crime."

I should point out that there is no statute of limitations in Maryland on most sex crimes. She COULD make a formal complaint to the cops. She has not.

This whole thing is a combination of a stall and a character assassination. The Democraps.want DESPERATELY to stall the vote until after the midterm, when they HOPE that MAYBE they will have the votes to deny Kavanaugh the seat. Failing in that, they hope to muddy his reputation on general principles, in hopes of discouraging any further conservatives from having the audacity to consider being placed on the supreme court.

The Democraps are now asserting that they will impeach Kavanaugh after the mid-term election if he is in fact seated. As far as I know no Supreme Court justice has ever been impeached, though a few certainly should have been. None have been removed form office. I believe lesss than ten federal judges have been removed from office in the history of the Republic.

It is instructive to watch. Disgusting, but instructive. I sure hope the Republicans grow a pair and do their job.

EDITOR'S NOTE: If the Republicans have not seen that letter, they must be blind. It has been widely published for all to see, including Kavanaugh.
