More commentary on Kavanaugh-Ford-Feinstein

But the conservative base also remembers the slander of Judge Robert Bork and has no appetite to surrender to such tactics ever again. If the White House or Senate Republicans do surrender, the populist rage from the right will be terrifying. So congratulations, Sen. Feinstein, you've done the unimaginable: You've made our politics even uglier. Jonah Goldberg

Stilton's Place

Kavanaugh cleared for landing on the Supreme Court  "Welcome to the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
"Democrats threw in the towel on their Anita Hill Revival.
"Christine Blasey Ford falsely accused of attempting to rape her sometime in the 1980s. She doesn't know the time. Or the place. But she said she started remember it in 2012.
"While the political press corps carried the water for Democrats on this one, the bag broke.
"Nobody is buying it -- outside of foaming-at-the-mouth liberals.
"Ford threw in the towel." . . .

Another Potential Witness Named By Kavanaugh Accuser Denies Claims  . . . "Kavanaugh and Judge have both denied the allegation. Now a second potential witness who Ford says was at the party, Patrick J. Smyth, has likewise denied any knowledge of the party or alleged incident.
"Smyth, who graduated with Kavanaugh from Georgetown Prep back in 1983, gave his response in a letter sent by his attorney Eric Bruce to the Senate Judiciary Committee obtained by CNN." . . .

Senate Judiciary Chairman Grassley Suggests No Last-Minute Hearing Without Accuser Testimony… "Senator Chuck Grassley scheduled a hearing for Monday September 24th, to hear testimony from Christine Blasey Ford who has made sketchy accusations against SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault 36-years-ago in high school.

"Today Chairman Grassley suggested if Ms. Blasey-Ford does not agree to give testimony he will cancel the hearing:" . . . 

Additionally, Ms. Blasey-Ford is a registered democrat; a political activist, and a member of the resistance to the administration of President Trump. Included in her activism is attendance during rallies in opposition to President Trump.
Casting further suspicion on her claims, all of Ms. Blasey-Ford’s supportive evidence for her claims was assembled in the past several months prior to the nomination and generally appears to have been timed to derail the supreme court nomination at the last minute.

Jonah Goldberg: Feinstein's Handling of Kavanaugh Accusation Has Made Our Politics Even Uglier  . . . "And what if the truth is somewhere in the middle? Do the actions, as described, tell us an enormous amount about the husband, father and judge? The man has been through six FBI background checks. No one has ever unearthed similar incidents, never mind a pattern of them. If anything, the well-documented patterns of his life and career suggest that the Kavanaugh of Ford's memory is not the Kavanaugh he became -- or perhaps ever was." . . .

But the conservative base also remembers the slander of Judge Robert Bork and has no appetite to surrender to such tactics ever again. If the White House or Senate Republicans do surrender, the populist rage from the right will be terrifying. So congratulations, Sen. Feinstein, you've done the unimaginable: You've made our politics even uglier.

David French at NR: Christine Blasey Ford Must Agree to Testify  . . . "Then, today, Dianne Feinstein called for a “full” FBI investigation before a committee hearing. Keep in mind, this is the same person who knew about Ford’s claims for weeks before they were made public on Sunday. Did her staff investigate the claims? If so, what was the result of that investigation?" . . .

National Review editors call this an "eleventh-hour ambush"

The hearing will probably degenerate into a political circus, given the theatrics at the first round of hearings even before a charge of sexual assault was on the table. The Democrats have conducted themselves disgracefully throughout this process, with their handling of this charge a new low and new depths sure to follow.

In contrast to all the above, Bloomberg News is blatantly anti-Kavanaugh.  They want the Republicans to run up the white flag, to show the white feather, to subjugate themselves to Democrats.

The credibility of Kavanaugh's accuser and the character of today's Democrats

Ford's Accusation against Kavanaugh Is Not Credible  . . . First, why, if this happened, didn't this 15-year-old girl immediately tell her parents that she was attacked and then report to the police?  The police could then have questioned everyone at the "gathering."  She says she thought Kavanaugh would inadvertently kill her, yet she does not report this to her parents and the police?  This isn't credible.  According to the Post, her explanation is as follows:

My biggest fear was, do I look like someone just attacked me?  I'm not ever telling anyone this.  This is nothing, it didn't happen, and he didn't rape me.

"Her parents would not believe her because she didn't look as though someone had attacked her?  What parents will not believe their 15-year-old daughter who runs home to tell them drunken boys tried to rape her?

"Second, Kavanaugh has been investigated by the FBI for appointments to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, White House counsel, and other federal jobs.  Why didn't Ford call the FBI so the FBI could investigate Kavanaugh?

"Third, Mark Judge has denied the accusation.

"Fourth, according to her husband, the motivation for telling the therapist in 2012 was that Kavanaugh might be appointed to the Supreme Court.  This shows political motivation: she does not want Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, although she did not care that he was on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

"Fifth, why write to a "local government representative" on July 6, 2018 and then Feinstein on July 30, 2018 instead of contacting the FBI?  The "local" Democrat and Feinstein should have immediately referred this to the FBI for investigation.  Feinstein should have immediately shared the letter with the entire Judiciary Committee so members could question Kavanaugh.  Instead, Feinstein played a political game to wait for an ambush." . . .

Thomas Lifson asks: Is the Democrats’ Ford gambit falling apart already?  "Senator Dianne Feinstein, the very solon who made public the accusation of a juvenile assault by Judge Brett Kavanaugh three-and-half decades ago, yesterday admitted doubt as to the “truthfulness” of the accuser, and may have doomed the effort to stall Senate confirmation.

“[Ford] is a woman that has been, I think, profoundly impacted. On this . . . I can’t say that everything is truthful. I don’t know,” Feinstein told reporters on Capitol Hill when asked if she believed the allegation.

"Note the distinction between “truthful” and “truth.”

“Being truthful” means we are honestly expressing how we perceive or feel about something.

“Telling the truth” means we are accurately defining or describing the way things REALLY are.

"Senator Feinstein, consciously or not, has just impugned the honesty of Professor Ford, and no amount of attempted backtracking can un-ring that bell, with this video in existence.

Democrats’ smash and smear agenda reaches new heights (depths?)

Ian Macfarlane

"In this one, Trump is the only defense against the left’s smash and smear agenda. It’s either him or the deluge."

Michael Goodwin  "A nation gawks as Washington sinks deeper into the muck, but put aside your disgust long enough to digest what we’re seeing. Three big things are on display.

"First, Democrats are proving again that their force multiplier is a win-or-die zealotry. They were on a mission to kill anybody President Trump chose to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and, within minutes of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he would fight Kavanaugh “with everything I have.” All 10 Dems on the Judiciary Committee pledged to vote no.

"They looked silly given the nominee’s impeccable credentials, and worse when leftist legal luminaries lined up to praise Kavanaugh as a brilliant jurist and sterling father, husband and mentor.

"One feminist supporter of Hillary Clinton called him “a superstar” and urged his confirmation by saying, “He is the most qualified conservative for the job.” . . .
. . . 

Which brings us to the third reason why the kangaroo court is worth watching. It reminds once again why Trump was elected and why his presidency is so important.

The Goal is Delay: Kavanaugh Accuser Demands FBI Investigation Prior to Testimony….  "Debra Katz is the lawyer for the accuser, Christine Blasey Ford.  She writes a letter to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley today demanding an FBI investigation prior to any testimony from her client.  The drama-filled motive here continues to be transparent:" . . .

What about the victims of Bill and Hillary Clinton?

Rap Sheet: The Women Who Claim to Be Victims of Bill and Hillary Clinton  "While Bill Cosby is finally doing a long overdue perp walk for an alleged sexual assault some 10 years ago, and I say “long overdue” because dozens of woman claim he did the same to them over the decades, the dozen or so women who claim to be victims of Bill and Hillary Clinton are being victimized once again by a DC Media circling the wagons to protect Hillary, a woman they are desperate to see become president." . . .

. . . "And according to more than one of these alleged victims, Hillary Clinton is Bill’s enabler and the chief protector of their abuser:

The Clintons’ “systematically abuse women and others – sexually, physically, and psychologically – in their scramble for power and wealth,” says [“The Clintons’ War On Women”] press release.

Hillary Clinton’s core agenda is a quest for power, even while she presents herself as champion of women’s issues, [Roger]Stone says.

“If Hillary intends to build her campaign around an appeal to women, her campaign is built on quicksand,” said Stone. But “Hillary is a life-time abuser of women and her advocacy on women issues rings hollow,” he said.

"Nevertheless, Bill Clinton is the man the DC Media wants as America’s very first First Gentleman, and other than Donald Trump, no one in the Republican Party has the stomach to make this the issue it deserves to be." . . .

Read the stories of these women:

Juanita isn't the only one: Bill Clinton's long history of sexual violence against women dates back some 30 years

"I wasn't raped, but I was trapped in a hotel room for a brief moment by a boorish man," she said. "I got away. He tried calling me several times after that, but I didn't take his phone calls. Then he stopped. I guess he moved on."
But Miss James also retreated from public view this week after other news organizations contacted her.
The former Miss Moffet, the legal secretary who says Clinton tried to force her into oral sex in 1979, has since married and left the state. She says that when she told her boyfriend, who was a lawyer and supporter of Clinton, about the incident, he told her to keep her mouth shut."

. . .
UK Daily Mail:   Hillary Clinton says all female sexual-assault accusers 'have the right to be believed' but skips over accused child rapist she defended in the 1970s – and what of Bill's 'bimbo eruptions'?

• She also defended a child rapist during the 1970s when she was a lawyer in private practice, later laughing about the experience 

• The 12-year-old victim in the case said last year that Clinton 'took me through hell' with false court filings that painted her as a liar 

Update:  'I'm sorry, but you don't have a case'  "The quote is by Debra Katz, a Washington lawyer specializing in sexual harassment cases.  Katz gained notoriety in the '90s by attempting to dismiss the validity of the Paula Jones sexual harassment case against Bill Clinton.  According to court transcripts, Jones claimed that in 1991, then-governor Clinton, after inviting Jones to his hotel room, had "put his hand on her leg, started sliding it toward her pelvic area, and bent down to attempt to kiss her on the neck, all without her consent."  Jones alleges that Clinton then dropped his pants and exposed himself to her and asked her to kiss his exposed self." . . .

Kavanaugh: Hope for the best but prepare for the worst

Twitchy: "‘Aaaaaaaand SCENE’! Is THIS why Dianne Feinstein’s been so cagey about Christine Blasey Ford?; UPDATED" : . . . "Fair enough. But we’re not terribly inclined to give Dianne Feinstein the benefit of the doubt on anything. She certainly hasn’t extended that courtesy to Brett Kavanaugh." . . .

‘I do not recall the party’: Witness to alleged Kavanaugh incident sends statement to Judiciary Committee

Why Mark Judge’s Statement on the Kavanaugh-Ford Situation Is Ultimately Meaningless  . . . "All of this is to say that if Judge, the named lone witness to an alleged assault from decades ago, thinks he can just say he doesn’t want to testify and Congress will be satisfied he may need to think again." . . .

The Differences in Late Accusations Against Kavanaugh and Thomas  . . . "The late-breaking allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in some ways mirrors the explosive claims preceding Justice Clarence Thomas’ confirmation in 1991, legal experts say. At the same time, the two matters are strikingly different.
“ 'Democrats are hoping to return to a time of leveling attacks at the nominee, not for discussion of their judicial approach, but last-minute allegations and character assassination,” said Carrie Severino, chief counsel and policy director for the Judicial Crisis Network." . . .

You can’t convict a person for being just the type.  . . . "That things like what is described in Ford’s letter “happened all the time” is, I’m sure, true. That it’s “all too consistent with stories” that people heard and their lived experience is also, I’m sure, true. But the questions is whether Brett Kavanaugh did something like this. Evidence that stuff like what he’s accused of happened to many people, or that prep-school guys like him always get away with things like this, is not evidence against Brett Kavanaugh. " . . .

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Calls Kavanaugh Hearings a ‘Highly Partisan Show’

Grassley Suggests No Last-Minute Hearing Without Accuser Testimony  . . . "There is a growing possibility Ms. Blasey-Ford, with the help of like-minded resistance members, manufactured the accusation under the auspices of resisting a supreme court nomination “by any means necessary”. One theory surrounds one of Judge Kavanaugh’s friends, Mark Judge, who wrote a book describing his abuse of alcohol going back to High School.  It is possible from that tenuous connection Ms. Blasey-Ford and her allies then constructed a story based loosely on details outlined in the book.

"Under this scenario, the entire accusation becomes a professional Democrat political ploy using the “MeToo movement” to shield the accuser from scrutiny of her claims. Given the toxic political climate of the current resistance movement; and with knowledge of how far the DNC apparatus is willing to go in constructing lies for political benefit; there is just as much likelihood this entire episode is a political fabrication." . . .

Project Veritas Bombshell Video Exposes “Resist” Socialist Employee Inside State Department

Project Veritas

Video shows State Department Management and Program Analyst, Stuart Karaffa, discussing how he uses his time working for the U.S. government to further the efforts of the Democratic Socialists

"A newly released undercover video shows a State Department employee bragging about how they use their time at the agency to organize for the D.C. chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

"Investigative journalism organization, Project Veritas, released a shocking video Tuesday, which shows State Department Management and Program Analyst, Stuart Karaffa, discussing how he uses his time working for the U.S. government to further the efforts of the Democratic Socialists.

"According to Project Veritas, Karaffa is heavily involved in the political campaign efforts of DSA in both Washington D.C. and Virginia.

"When an undercover Project Veritas journalist asks if he does work for the Democratic Socialists while at the State Department, Karaffa replies, “Oh yeah. I mean I do, and I’m careful about it. I don’t leave a paper trail, like I leave emails, and like… Any press s**t that comes up I leave that until after 5:30. But as soon as 5:31 hits, got my like draft messages ready to send out.' " . . . 

. . .  "The footage of Karaffa ends with the State Department employee saying, “resist everything…every level. F**k s**t up.”

"Project Veritas founder, James O’Keefe, says his organization has been investigating the Deep State for over a year, and claims his undercover cameras have caught “conspirators admitting to violating their ethics reports, illegally using government resources and subverting government policies.”

"According to their press release, Project Veritas will release other videos of their investigation into the Deep State."

Washington Times: His first target is Stuart Karaffa, a State employee and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. He sits at a restaurant table, sipping a drink and talking to two O’Keefe undercover agents.

Deep state on camera  . . . "American tax dollars at work, supporting hard-left politics in government. 

James O'Keef; Project Veritas

"This video, the first in the undercover investigation that O’Keefe and company are planning to carry out, showcased an employee of the federal government bragging about his resistance, doing political work on the government dime, and admitting that it’s unlikely he will be held accountable for it, especially since his political affiliations are rubber stamped.
"The employee interviewed, Stuart Karaffa, admitted that he has both engaged in radical socialist political activities when he was working (and being paid on the taxpayer’s dime), and that he has advocated for resistance to official government policies.
"In the video, it seemed clear that Karaffa’s main loyalties didn’t lie with his employer, or with the United States government, or even with the Department of State.
"Rather, they were with the Democratic Socialists of America, an extreme left-wing political party he is a member of.
. . . 
"He also admitted that he spent his time in the office watching political affairs in Virginia, which he utilized as co-chair of the DSA electoral caucus in DC.
"His talk certainly made it appear that he knew he was doing something wrong, possibly even illegal, though he didn’t seem very concerned about the consequences of his actions.
"He said that maybe someday he would end up going to jail at the behest of the board of elections, or maybe not.
"Karaffa didn’t believe that anyone at his work was aware of what he was doing, nor did he seem concerned about facing censure or penalties at work.
"The socialist outright declared that there was nothing for him to fear, as it was “impossible to fire federal employees,” a complaint that taxpayers have voiced for decades."

Sources who defend Kavanaugh

Yes, this all represents one side, just as the MSM - especially CNN and NBC- as well as TV talk shows, Hollywood, Academia and too many others attack this president and his personnel choices in government. At times Trump's brashness and ill-chosen, sometimes rude comments are reprehensible, but he is all that stands between us and the vindictive left. The likes of Maxine Waters, Hillary, Harris, the Schumer/ Pelosi faction of Congress, masked Antifa mobs with their bats and bike locks have torn our nation apart. They must be resisted and my posts are nothing more than a feeble response to them.

Sen. Lindsey Graham Questions Validity Of Sexual Assault Allegations
. . . “ 'I think it’s part of a pattern. They can’t beat him on the law so they are trying to destroy his life. If a conservative had edited a tape of a liberal nominee to the court where you – they take the words and turn them upside down, they tried to suggest that judge Kavanaugh used the word or term ‘abortion-inducing drugs’ when it was the plaintiff, the priests for life,” he began." . . .

Bill Maher said the Kavanaugh accusations "make us all look bad".

Judge Kavanaugh Meets His Anita Hill  . . . "After the Democrats prattled on about not having all of Kavanaugh's documents, here was the self-righteous Feinstein, withholding a document until all else failed to derail Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court.  Liberals insist that all accusers be deemed credible and heard, but they forget about the presumption of innocence and the right of the accused to confront his accuser.  Kavanaugh deserves that right and might yet get it, but in the meantime, we know that for Democrats, the politics of personal destruction is not dead." . . .

Jeff Flake Says Kavanaugh Nomination Should Be Delayed; Ann Coulter TORCHED Him With Brutal Tweet  @AnnCoulterMore

Dianne Feinstein's Mind-Boggling Decision

"("Some Democrats said they don't have to wait for President Trump to pick a Supreme Court nominee – they're voting 'no' regardless of who [sic] he names.")"

The real Christine Blasey Ford  . . . "Arizona's own lame-duck senator, Jeff Flake, will not vote Judge Kavanaugh out of committee till they hear from Ms. Victim.  Maybe Sen. Flake can also ask the FBI to look into the polygamy practiced by his deceased forbears just so everyone can feel self-righteous.  After all, there seems to be no statute of limitations now." 

Democrats' sleazy attack on Kavanaugh comes from an old playbook
. . . "Do the Democrats keep a steady supply of female accusers, adjusted as to age, geography, and possible chance of having met the subject, ready and set to be called on as needed, depending on which nominee, from which part of the country, the Republicans happen to choose?" . . .

Kavanaugh's ordeal shows the depravity of the rabid left  "Is there no depth to which leftists will not sink to demonize those with whom they disagree?  Unable to lay a hand on Brett Kavanaugh throughout the judiciary committee hearings, despite some of the rudest, most uncivil questioning on record since the Bork and Thomas hearings, now they've turned up a woman to play Anita Hill, a woman willing to prostitute herself on the pyre of leftist dreams of advancing their agenda through the courts."

Grassley says Judiciary Committee hasn't heard back from Kavanaugh accuser
. . . " 'We have reached out to her in the last 36 hours, three or four times, by email, and we have not heard from them," Grassley said. "So it kind of raises the question, do they want to come to the public hearing or not?' " . . .

Who paid for Blasey's polygraph?

Kavanaugh's accuser and the curious George Soros links

Washington Times

"Look at what’s going on with Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation proceedings for the Supreme Court, and the fingerprints of George Soros are all over it.

"First there was a report from June in the Daily Caller that found “a new political advocacy group that vowed to put $5 million behind an effort to stop … Kavanaugh’s confirmation has significant ties to the liberal financier” Soros.

"What are those ties?

"The group, Demand Justice, established in 2018, gets its money from the Sixteen Thirty Fund — and the Sixteen Thirty Fund received roughly $2.2 million from the Open Society Policy Center, one of Soros’ outlets, between the years of 2012 and 2016.

"And Demand Justice’s entire mission is to advance a progressive agenda through the courts." . . .

. . . Kavanaugh’s personal reputation, prior to Ford’s accusation, has been stellar.
“I’ve been friends with Brett Kavanaugh for over 35 years, and dated him during high school,” said Maura Kane, in a statement to the media. “In every situation where we were together, he was always respectful, kind and thoughtful. The accusations leveled against him in no way represent the decent young man I knew. We remain good friends and I admire him as a husband, father and professional.”
Another woman who said she dated Kavanaugh in college released a similar statement, vouching for his character “completely.”
Of course, Democrats dismiss these women’s statements as inconsequential — as meaningless. What they mean is it doesn’t fit their narrative. What they want hidden is it doesn’t fit their funders’ and donors’ narratives.  . . .

Woman Accusing DNC Co-Chair Keith Ellison Of Abuse Describe How Democrats ‘Smeared, Threatened, Isolated’ Her

She accused a Democrat and there is no forgiveness for that. TD

Washington Examiner

She accused a Democrat. So, therefore, she is not to be believed. And media ignores her case. Such a difference in how the cases are handled. And there were two alleged assaults by Ellison when he was an adult after he was already in some power"  Weasel Zippers

Daily Caller  "DNC Deputy Chair and Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison has been accused [of] domestic abuse by former girlfriend Karen Monahan. Monahan broke her story earlier in the year, claiming to have video evidence of Ellison physically abusing her and using sexist slurs toward her.

"Monahan has been slowly telling her story through Twitter, explaining how Democrats in her state attempted to silence her and “isolate” her. When a follower asked if Democrats believed her claims, Monahan said, “I’ve been smeared, threatened, isolated from my own party.”

"Monahan alleges she provided medical records to back up her claims of abuse, but state Democrats did nothing: “I provided medical records from 2017, stating on two different Dr. Visits, I told them about the abuse and who did it. My therapist released records stating I have been dealing [with] and healing from the abuse.”

“ 'I knew I wouldn’t be believed,” Monahan said of her Democratic colleagues."

(Emphasis mine, TD)

Corrupt Media Reported on Kavanaugh Accuser 100 Times More than Ellison Accusers Who Actually Filed Police Report  . . . "Fellow Democrat and Minnesotan running against Ellison in the AG primary, Debra Hilstrom, shared the viral Facebook post and demanded that Ellison address the allegations. 

"Austin Monahan described seeing video of Keith Ellison –Screaming “f*cking bitch!” and dragging his mother off a bed by her feet!" . . .

Judge Kavanaugh and the left's revenge

Leftists are nothing if not hypocritical.  They have relentlessly harassed the woman who accused Keith Ellison of abuse.*

American Thinker  "The first episode of Alfred Hitchcock's TV series was titled "Revenge."  The story opens with Carl and Elsa Spann, a recently married couple who move into a trailer by the sea.  Elsa has suffered a nervous breakdown, the seaside her therapy.

"Carl heads out for his first day at work, and Elsa is baking a cake to surprise her husband.  But when Carl gets home, he finds a smoke-filled trailer; a burning cake; and his wife beaten and assaulted, in a catatonic state. The police have no leads on the assailant, and Carl's frustration and anger build.

"The next day, Carl takes Elsa away.  They're driving through town when Elsa points to a man walking on the sidewalk.

" 'There he is!  That's him!"

Carl parks and follows the man to his room, where he bludgeons the stranger to death.  He goes back to the car and drives away.  Then Elsa points to another man: "There he is! That's him!"  The scene closes on Carl's shocked expression as he realizes what he's done.

"How did this happen?  Well, Carl witnessed the results of the attack, saw proof of the crime.  And he had no reason to doubt his wife, not to believe her.

"Sadly, in today's court of public opinion, there doesn't even have to be evidence of a crime.  And the crime need not be current.  Without proof, can a man still be held accountable for committing a crime?  You betcha.

"The left demands that all female accusers be believed, a mandate antithetical to the Constitution.  Leftists claim that every accusation earns full credibility due to the "seriousness of the charge," regardless of proof or lack thereof.  So the Democrat media run with the accusation, parading politicians from both sides who gravely pronounce the accusation credible, serious.

"Just like that, the left has found its political MOAB.

"his brings us to Judge Kavanaugh, a man with a sterling reputation and impeccable credentials yet now under the #MeToo shadow. " . . . Read more...

Democrats Want Their Pound of Kavanaugh Flesh

Mike Ramirez

National Review  . . . Regardless of the validity of the accusation, the timing on it is straight out of Anita Hill. The woman is said to have approached Senate Democrats in July, but two months later, in the public hearing, Kavanaugh was never asked about the incident, nor did it come up in the 1,278 written follow-up questions he has since answered.

"The New Yorker magazine implies that the reason for the delay in bringing up the incident is that Dianne Feinstein, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is now suddenly worried that she will be blamed for “going easy” on Judge Kavanaugh. Senator Feinstein faces a left-wing Democrat in the November election, whom she currently leads in the polls by 40 points. Similar claims were made against Joe Biden, when he was the ranking member of Senate Judiciary Committee and apparently didn’t move in for the kill against Clarence Thomas with enough vigor. Those claims never seemed to hurt Joe Biden’s career." . . .
