Conservative Commentary on the Kavanaugh hearings

The other woman

Democrats' big miscalculation: Conservative women like me won't abandon Brett Kavanaugh  . . . "Many conservative women detest the McCarthyite tone of the proceedings; we feel sickened by the sight of crowds of college girls ripping up pro-Kavanaugh posters; we are worried as mobs chant, “We believe survivors!” (What if Ford is not truly a “survivor”? Don’t we have to establish whether she’s a survivor first?)" . . .
. . . "This article confirms what I've been seeing on a purely social basis.  My analysis is not a poll, but rather just plain conversation, from talking to people at church, over coffee, waiting at the bank, and so on.
"People grow angry when they see an injustice on the level of destroying a man and his family.
"The Democrats clearly overplayed their hand.  They never anticipated that women would be angry at them.  Maybe they will show up to vote and express their discontent.  I hope so!" . . .  This article links to the following commentary in USA Today:


"The Democratic Party's war on men" . . .
. . . "We know that college campuses have been a nightmare for young men for years as unfair panels established to judge alleged sex abuse have proliferated — aided and abetted by President Barack Obama’s threat to withdraw federal funds for universities that weren’t swift enough in establishing these faux courts. 
. . . 
"We know that popular culture created in the salons of the East Coast relentlessly portray men as bumbling idiots, as children. And we bleed for our sons and husbands and brothers who have been scarred by these relentless attacks.". . . Just watch your average TV commercial.
. . . "How about a movement called “Not In Our Name”? It’s time everybody — from lawmakers tempted to make policy that they think will placate women to our male brothers who increasingly are saying they’re afraid to hire and even date women — to know that "the women who won’t put on the pink hat" are out there in big numbers."

How to Prevent Another Kavanaugh Circus  . . . "If the next Christine Blasey Ford has information, she must volunteer it to the committee by a pre-set cutoff date.
"Next, Senator Feinstein must undergo an FBI investigation into how Ford's letter found its way to the media.  At the same time, she must undergo a Senate Ethics Committee review, with the possibility of being removed from the Judiciary Committee.  This would remove her reward, taking the piggy bank she craves away.  If she were demoted to "just another senator," Feinstein would lose her reason to be in the Senate.
"With Feinstein gone, another Democrat would take her place, since for the time being, California is locked in the throes of a leftist coup.  But that Democrat would think twice about pulling a stunt like Feinstein did.  Not having the benefits of your seat is as bad as not having your seat."

Conservative students holding a pro-Kavanaugh demonstration at the University of Texas-Austin were met by liberal counter-protesters.


If Christine Ford's lawyer needs a lawyer, the fat lady's singing  . . . "I am betting on today's FBI to begin at the top to rebuild and regain its honor.  The special agents in the field are still a national treasure.  The top leadership ranks in the Obama administration are the ones who lost their moral compass, along now with those working with Dr. Ford." . . .

Regarding the temperament of Judge Kavanaugh...  . . . "Just a job interview?
Where the job is an advancement in a large organization where you have worked for years with dignity and competence.Where the executive position for which you are recommended suddenly brings half the board members to immediately oppose you in every way they can and call you evil.Where the job interview lasts several weeks or months and is a public spectacle.Where half the board members lie in wait to spring surprise accusations rather than show they are interested in knowing the truth.Where opposing board members welcome the most vile accusations and act as if they have merit even when reason dictates otherwise.Where opposing board members put forth the ridiculous and offensive argument that you, as the accused, must prove that you are innocent.Where if you fail to secure the position, your life and your family are turned upside-down and ruined.
"This is not just a job interview.  It never was just a job interview, and it became much more and much worse than a case of the Senate performing its role to advise and consent on the president's nomination.  The opposing and unworthy senators made sure of that."
