Another Monday Full Of Moans

Trump hoped leaking Rosenstein ouster would knock Kavanaugh scandals out of the news: report
The bizarre sequence of leaks surrounding the fate of deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Monday morning raised a series of questions about whether President Donald Trump actually planned to fire him.

The GOP and others better be very careful in trying to suggest that she is not credible. - Michael Avenatti announcing he is representing another victim of Kavanaugh and maybe more

My, My, My. More Investigations Into Kavanaugh?
Montgomery County investigators confirmed Monday they’re aware of a potential second sexual assault complaint in the county against former Georgetown Prep student and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
While investigators weren’t specific and spoke on background, they said they are looking at allegations against Kavanaugh during his senior year in high school after an anonymous witness came forward this weekend.

Trump attacks Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford's credibility and says judge is 'under assault by radical left wing'

Hi Lisa,

I just finished reading several articles related to Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

One piece argued that Kavanaugh was at long last being “held to account” for his alleged sexual assault of Christine Blasey Ford 35 years ago. Another asserted that in the absence of clear and convincing evidence of the alleged assault, Kavanaugh deserved the “benefit of the doubt” on the question.

May I make two observations on the matter?

First, Kavanaugh is not “being held to account.” He has not been charged with any crime. He is not on trial. He does not face prison time. He is being vetted for promotion to the highest court in the land. If he is confirmed, he will receive large increases in pay, prestige, underlings, and office space.

But if he is not confirmed, he will lose nothing except “face.” He will still hold a lifetime appointment to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. He will still make more than $15,300 a month.

Hey, if that’s what being “held to account” is like, you can hold me to account anytime! I could suffer a lot of face-losing for $15,300 a month. For life.

Second, because he loses nothing (like his job, pay, or freedom) if he is not confirmed, Kavanaugh does not deserve any “benefit of the doubt.” He is a nominee, not a defendant.

No one deserves a seat on the Supreme Court; no one has an inherent right to sit on the Court. That seat doesn’t belong to Kavanaugh or to Trump; it belongs to Article III and to the American people. “We the People” – not Judge Kavanaugh – deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Judge Kavanaugh’s statements on this matter have been unconvincing so far. If Professor Ford refuses to testify, then the case is moot. But if she comes across as a credible accuser, then Kavanaugh’s character has been impeached and he should withdraw from consideration. If he fails to do that, Trump should withdraw the nomination. And if Trump refuses, the full Senate should reject Kavanaugh.

“We the People” deserve better than Judge Kavanaugh.

~Rick

Hi Rick,

This is all so dismaying.

The GOP will ram Kavanaugh through, with or without Dr. Ford's testimony, in my humble opinion. They love him because he's a Hillary hater, too...a bonus for them.

Lisa

Next week, Christine Blasey Ford will likely face intense questioning from Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee about the truthfulness of her accusations against Brett Kavanaugh..
Ford will face questions from the 11 Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, all of them men, with an average age of 62. (The chairman, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the second-oldest sitting senator, is 85.) In the committee’s 202-year history, it has not had a single Republican woman.

Dear media - Can you please refer to Christine Ford as Dr. Christine Ford and not as the "Brett Kavanaugh accuser" or as the "accuser" or as the "victim."
Dr. Ford has earned the title plus she's a human being not a faceless accuser or victim. Thanks. - DeanObeidallah
