Brett Kavanaugh should withdraw his nomination for the good of the Supreme Court and the country
NBC News Think ^ | 9-17-20148 | Evan Siegfried

I'm a Republican and support Trump's judicial strategy but the perceived legitimacy of the court is more important than one man.

When President Donald Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court, I was thrilled. The judge has a resume that makes him unquestionably qualified to sit on the highest court in the land.

Further, I have found the attacks on him made by Democrats until now to be unfounded or pure spectacle made by politicians engaging in theatrics simply because they knew there were cameras on.

The sexual assault allegations by Christine Blasey Ford are different: After reading them, I can no longer support Kavanaugh’s nomination and have concluded that for the good of the country, he must withdraw.

I’m tried of hearing this called a “sexual assault.”

That term should be used to describe an actual rape, not drunken teenagers allegedly groping one another.

After reading that May 2016 article from Evan Siegfried, no one should believe a word this guy says again. He got everything completely wrong.

The author is a liar.

"The sexual assault allegations by Christine Blasey Ford are different:"

No, they're not. They are the usual accusations that will be used against every good man nominated for the Supreme Court.

And let the democrat get away with ruining the reputation of a fine an and a scholar with their lies and slander?

It would poison the political process in America, which is already ailing due to democrat corruption, dishonesty, fakery, and posturing.

Not only is this writer a spineless oaf and a fool, he’s also DEAD WRONG!

I think as more and more credible women come out in support of Kacannah, Ford will get cold feet. If BK stays strong, I predict she backs out of Monday’s hearings.

Gotta take a stand sometime.

The Democrats are just going to keep running this play until it blows-up on the field and they take a thirty-yard loss.

The author is a faker. I doubt seriosuly they ever supported anything conservative. They are writing lift up the Dim’s agenda with phony “GOP” support for Kavanaugh to stand down.

Is the court worse off for Clarence Thomas? No. And it will be better off still with Kavanaugh sitting on it.

The time to lay down is when your battle is won, not to signal a surrender.
