Given the seriousness of the charges, Ford must be heard out. But she also needs to be cross-examined and have her story and character probed as Kavanaugh\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s has been by FBI investigators as an attorney for the Ken Starr impeachment investigation of Bill Clinton, a White House aide to George Bush, a U.S. appellate judge and a Supreme Court nominee.<\/p>\n
During the many investigations of Kavanaugh\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s background, nothing was unearthed to suggest something like this was in character.<\/p>\n
Some 65 women who grew up in the Chevy Chase and Bethesda area and knew Kavanaugh in his high school days have come out and spoken highly of his treatment of girls and women.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the way in which all of this arose, at five minutes to midnight in the long confirmation process, suggests that this is political hardball, if not dirt ball.<\/p>\n
When Ford, a Democrat, sent a letter detailing her accusations against Kavanaugh to her California congresswoman, Anna Eshoo, Ford insisted that her name not be revealed as the accuser.<\/p>\n
She seemingly sought to damage or destroy the judge\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s career behind a cloak of anonymity. Eshoo sent the letter on to Sen. Diane Feinstein, who held it for two months.<\/p>\n
Excising Ford\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s name, Feinstein then sent it to the FBI, who sent it to the White House, who sent it on to the Senate to be included in the background material on the judge.<\/p>\n
Thus, Ford\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s explosive charge, along with her name, did not surface until this weekend.<\/p>\n
What is being done here stinks. It is a transparently late hit, a kill shot to assassinate a nominee who, before the weekend, was all but certain to be confirmed and whose elevation to the Supreme Court is a result of victories in free elections by President Trump and the Republican Party.<\/p>\n
Palpable here is the desperation of the left to derail Kavanaugh, lest his elevation to the high court imperil their agenda and the social revolution that the Warren Court and its progeny have been able to impose upon the nation.<\/p>\n
If Kavanaugh is elevated, the judicial dictatorship of decades past, going back to the salad days of Earl Warren, William Brennan, Hugo Black and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Wild Bill\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Douglas, will have reached its end. A new era will have begun.<\/p>\n
That is what is at stake.<\/p>\n
The Republican Senate should continue with its calendar to confirm Kavanaugh before Oct. 1, while giving Ford some way to be heard, and then Kavanaugh the right to refute. Then let the senators decide.<\/p>\n
