Yes, Justice Kavanaugh should sue! UPDATED

Silvio Canto, Jr.

  "The left can't let go of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.  I guess that's what Roe v Wade has done to them.   

"The latest attack is familiar and it involves the New York Times:   

Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly stated in a piece published Saturday that well before Kavanaugh became a federal judge "at least seven people" had heard about how Kavanaugh allegedly exposed himself to Deborah Ramirez at a party. 
The report also included a new allegation that Kavanaugh similarly thrust his penis at an unwilling woman at an alcohol-fueled college party. 
The president defended Kavanaugh, whom he nominated to the court in 2018.

"At some point, this malicious reporting has to stop.
"First, this "new" story is simply a replay of one retailed last year in which Deborah Ramirez claimed to be the victim. It was thoroughly debunked at the time and the Times story adds no new evidence. 

"Second, the alleged attack occurred in the 1980s at a college party.  Did anyone actually see it?  The Times reportage doesn't mention anyone.

"Third, I think that there should be limits on attacking public people, especially allegations like this that go back 35-plus years.

"President Trump is right.  Justice Kavanaugh should sue and force his critics to take the stand in a trial.  Maybe it will never happen, but enough with these attacks on Justice Kavanaugh, and, more specifically, judges who think that voters rather than courts should decide the matter of abortion."   Hat tip to Cathie Post

UPDATE: Christine Blasey Ford’s Friend Doesn’t Believe Her On Kavanaugh Accusation, Says New Book  . . . "The whole tale falls apart at the end of the book, Mollie Hemingway writes. There, the authors say: "We spoke multiple times to Keyser, who also said that she didn't recall that get-together or any others like it. In fact, she challenged Ford's accuracy. 'I don't have any confidence in the story.'"

"In her own book, "Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court," Hemingway details the pressure applied on Keyser to get her to back up Ford's tale. The new book does so, too, saying Ford's friends "had grown frustrated with Keyser. Her comments about the alleged Kavanaugh incident had been too limited, some of them felt, and did not help their friend's case. Surely, given what a close friend Keyser had been, she could say more to substantiate Ford’s testimony and general veracity, even if she could not corroborate Ford's more specific memories." . . .


National Review: No, Brett Kavanaugh Has Not Been ‘Credibly Accused’ . . . "Imagine for a moment that you’re a lawyer investigating whether to take a case. Christine Blasey Ford has been in your office and told you a heart-rending tale of a high-school attack, but you do due diligence before taking a case, so you ask an associate to investigate. And when he does, what he finds does not support any single element of her story.


" 'Not one of the witnesses she puts forward back her account. Her own friend says she doesn’t have “any confidence” in Ford’s story. Ford herself has offered differing accounts of her age at the time of the attack, and her therapist’s notes contain a substantially different version of the story. She won’t release the complete set of therapist’s notes, and she won’t release the complete results of a polygraph she took. She’s scrubbed her social-media past, but she’s apparently extremely partisan and seems to have an ideological motivation for coming forward — to help preserve Roe v. Wade.


AOC Calls for Kavanaugh’s Impeachment following Botched NYT Article 
I'm sure her declaration was greeted by a horde of adolescent voices cheering.
