Opuscula

High school stupidity
Haunts candidate
Twenty years later

PERHAPS THIS SHOULD BE CALLED “Grasping at straws.” What it is NOT is a pass for bad behavior.

THE DEMOCRAT party’s leadership, more and more similar to Dilbert’s “PHB,” says it found a woman who, 20 years ago, claims Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee for the SCOTUS, molested a young woman while they in high school. He, allegedly in a drunken moment, (no excuse) tried to undress her in a bedroom at a “party.”1

At least that is the part of the story the “leadership” presented to the “unbiased” media that ran to publish the disgraceful behavior and, both Democrats and media hope, derail Kavanaugh’s candidacy . . . at least until the mid-term elections in which the “out” party has high hopes of becoming the “in” party.

This is not the first time the Democrats have accused a GOP-sponsored SCOTUS candidate of sexual misconduct. Previously, they fought Clarence Thomas’s nomination, by President George H. W. Bush, and, at the time, lost by the narrowest margin to date: 52 yeas to 48 nays. Thomas is a conservative, as is Kavanaugh, and Thomas was accused of sexual misconduct.2

As with Kavanaugh, the misconduct was a last minute “eureka moment” for the Democrats. According to CNN3, Reports surface two days before the scheduled Senate vote on Thomas's confirmation that law professor Anita Hill told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Thomas had sexually harassed her while she worked with him at the Education Department and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Assuming the leftists again will lose and Kavanaugh will be confirmed, their next move, particularly if they take control of the House and Senate, will be to bring impeachment proceedings against Kavanaugh and, possibly, Thomas.

    It’s interesting that no one uttered a word about FDR’s infidelity or JFK’s womanizing; even Teddy Kennedy’s Chappaquiddick accident that took the life of Mary Jo Kopechne was quickly dismissed and he was easily re-elected.4 Even Wm. J. “I did not have sex with that woman” Clinton was unscathed, as was his wife’s tenure as Secretary of State for which she is justly infamous for Benghazi and emails.

If Georgie Porgie5 ran for office in the U.S. he would be pilloried for his sexual escapade.

I suppose that in all the alleged instances of sexual misconduct – I am NOT considering rape or child molestation as “misconduct”; these are reprehensible crimes – the female took no part nor did she provoke the attack by any means. All the females are absolutely innocent victims, dressed like nuns going to meet the pope. I am suggesting that the male should have controlled himself despite any provocation. In Kavanaugh’s case, if the assault really happened, than his first mistake was getting drunk and losing control.

I’m curious why this alleged victim of Kavanaugh’s lust waited 20 years before going public. I’m always suspicious of very belated accusations. This sudden recall of things long past seems to be a Democrat trademark.

What has Kavanaugh done as a jurist; has he ruled fairly? Are his decisions reasonable based on the facts before him? Have his rulings been over-turned? These are the things the inquisitors should be considering. Sexual misconduct as a teenager 20 years ago? How doe that define the SCOTUS candidate today?

It’s time for the Democrats to get real and to vote on his judicial record.

In Hebrew the term for teenagers is “Te-pesh-esray.” Rough translation: Stupidteen.

Only a fool would condemn an adult for something he – or she – did as a teenager. That’s why the books are sealed on juveniles’ crimes.

PLAGIARISM is the act of appropriating the literary composition of another, or parts or passages of his writings, or the ideas or language of the same, and passing them off as the product of one’s own mind.

Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Defamation is a false statement of fact. If the statement was accurate, then by definition it wasn’t defamatory.
