Kavanaugh: 'I will not be intimidated into withdrawing'
The Hill ^ | September 24, 2018 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 09/24/2018 1:54:44 PM PDT by Repeal 16-17

Brett Kavanaugh on Monday said he will "not be intimidated into withdrawing" from his Supreme Court nomination after a second woman came forward with a sexual misconduct allegation against him.

Kavanaugh sent a letter on Monday to Sens. Chuck Grassley(R-Iowa) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) — the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, respectively — saying the accusations against him are "smears, pure and simple."

"They debase our public discourse. But they are also a threat to any man or woman who wishes to serve our country. Such grotesque and obvious character assassination—if allowed to succeed—will dissuade competent and good people of all political persuasions from service," Kavanaugh said in the letter to Grassley and Feinstein.

"I will not be intimidated into withdrawing from this process. The coordinated effort to destroy my good name will not drive me out. The vile threats of violence against my family will not drive me out. The last-minute character assassination will not succeed," Kavanaugh continued.

Kavanaugh standing tall. May the Senate Republicans have as much backbone.

Kavanaugh has balls. Does the rest of the Senate GOP.

We CANNOT be bullied by the extreme Marxists who create lies and slanders to smear good men.

Stand fast all. The fate of the Republic rests on the next 4 days.

If he gets confirmed he will be one angry justice.

Good for him. Trump and Kavanaugh are public examples of what strong men look like. Take notes, boys.

Kavanaugh is demonstrating to the gutless Republicans how to be a man(woman) when faced with a battle for the heart and soul of America.

Each of them will find that if they lie down in this great ideological battle for the heart of freedom to think, to be, to act, and to live in accordance with the principles of freedom, then they and their posterity will suffer!

John Adams 1813 letter to Thomas Jefferson: “The general Principles, on which the Fathers Achieved Independence, were the only Principles in which that beautiful Assembly of young Gentlemen could Unite…Now I will avow, that I then believed, and now believe, that those general Principles of Christianity, are as eternal and immutable, as the Existence and Attributes of God.” - (John Adams to Thomas Jefferson, June 28th, 1813, from Quincy in The Adams-Jefferson Letters).

It looks like Pres. Trump picks a courageous type of judge.
God bless him.

Good for him. He’s absolutely right, it will dissuade good people from serving the country if they are going to be subjected to dirty smear campaigns.. What needs to happens now, is that false accusers and the people pushing them need to be sued for slander.. Severe penalties in order to insure other opportunist, politically motivated hacks don’t try it.

“Judiciary Republicans needs to invite a large number of Trump supporting bikers and veterans into all upcoming Committee hearings”

Then they can “foster” a number of “unfortunate accidents” among the demonstrator from Yale. A few dislocated shoulders from unintended falls down the stairs in the Rotunda would be appropriate.
