| The Kavanaugh accusation: "In war, truth is the first casualty" |
| 2018-09-19 |
| h/t Instapundit That saying comes from the Greek playwright Aeschylus. It's particularly apt in the case of the allegations leveled against Brett Kavanaugh during the confirmation hearings for his nomination as a justice of the US Supreme Court. They've proved to be nothing less than a war on him by the Democratic Party, acting as a spokesperson for every left-wing and progressive group in this country. I think the allegations raised by Prof. Ford are absolute nonsense. Quite apart from their vagueness and lack of detail, they're overwhelmingly at odds with everything else we've learned about Mr. Kavanaugh during months of investigations. What's more, the way in which they've been handled is profoundly suspect. Far from her claimed desire for anonymity, she appears to have contacted news media months ago, and also scrubbed her social media accounts at the same time of material that shows her to be a far-left-wing activist. I think Karl Denninger puts the situation in its proper perspective. There are several possibilities: ...Now add into the mix this: The alleged "victim" has more animus and thus reason to lie as a consequence of her political orientation and advocacy than did the Duke LaCrosse stripper. That may have simply been a matter of not getting a "respectful enough" tip for her dancing gig. ...Oh, and both the accuser and Feinswine are known to want to derail Kavanaugh by any means possible -- Feinswine has specifically so-stated, yet she sat on the very thing that could have done so for two months. This implies that she knows the claim is false because otherwise she would have been best served in her interests, which she has publicly stated, by immediately both releasing it and forcing an investigation -- in July. I call bull**** |

| #3 Clausewitz spoke about war is an extension of politics by other means. Likewise, we've arrived to politics as war by other means. |
