A high stakes game of "he said, she said" detours Kavanaugh confirmation process
SAN DIEGO -- And to think, up until last week, I would have said that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was painfully boring with a confirmation process to match.
What do I know? Scandals are never boring. Still, as a proud American who hates to see our institutions sullied, give me boring any day.
The Kavanaugh proceedings have taken a detour into the sewer, which explains the stench.
Senate Democrats are trying to take out this nominee, for the unpardonable sin of having been nominated by President Trump. And a lot of what has happened over the last several days does not make their side look pure and wholesome.
Consider:
-- The fact that the accusation of sexual misconduct was initially made anonymously.
-- The fact that Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California -- who learned of the allegation several weeks ago -- never mentioned it during the hearings or in a private meeting with Kavanaugh.
-- The fact that the man who was reportedly with Kavanaugh during this alleged assault says it never happened, and that he never witnessed the nominee being disrespectful to women.
None of this helps the Democrats in their crusade to kill the Kavanaugh confirmation by any means necessary.
To get here, we took a dark and dangerous road.
