Something I've noticed. Folks keep "defending" Judge K, as if he requires it. This ignores the weakness of the accusers, primarily the Senators who have vilified him...
DiFi: She has been so corrupt for so long, in so many different ways, that we have actually come to ACCEPT that as something normal. Why is that? She's shitting on a guy for something that happened ALMOST 40 YEARS AGO. C'mon, that's nothing compared to her crimes.
Blumenthal: This man lied about serving in Vietnam? And he's a Senator? And he lacks the shame to just sit there and be quiet? If we can deny a man a public office on the presumption of abuse back in '82, why can't we deny a Senator his seat for lying about his service?
Booker: While Kavanaugh is accused of possible malfeasance, this man has openly admitted it. Again, why is this man allowed to do aything but just sit there?
Harris: This woman slept her way to her seat. It's not even talked about. She helped Willie Brown ruin himself, and is somehow repelling Kavanaugh from the moral highground that she abandoned when she was in her 20's?
Coons: a f**king communist. WTF? politico.com/story/2010/05/…
To be clear, the Repubs on the other side are probably as shady, and that is the awesome thing about the Trump era, because any of those corrupt assholes can go f**k themselves into the Potomac...
Kavanaugh is everything these sh*tbags are not. He's a man who has oriented himself correctly before God, his community, and his family, while suffering the arrows of those who've spent their adult lives trying to beat the "prisoner's dilemma".
Somehow, in this mortal coil, we've been assured that those above are the ones who should approve of his conduct. And I'm just supposed to accept that?
If these people were titanium-cast pillars of wisdom and virtue, I would still wish for them to demonstrate why Brett Kavanaugh would not be qualified to serve as an Associate Justice (as "qualification" is, after all, their entire mandate).
As it is, I'm smarter than these people. I'm more disciplined than these people. I actually have a better understanding of the U.S. Constitution than these people, as evidenced by their conduct and the apogee of their decisions.
Deeper, though, I'm a better human than these people who have sat in judgement of Brett Kavanaugh. Not only in light of the reasons above, but because I spend a lot of thought about how not to end up justifying the immoral takedown of a good man.
I've seen Jung's "shadow" within me and have turned from it, utterly., I do not propose to know all that is worth knowing, as they seem to. I express my opinions seeking to tell the truth and to bring mankind into that light.
In light of that, not only should they #ConfirmKavanaugh, but they should not be allowed to hold another committee in this vein until they answer for their own crimes. Shalom. -Unclean
