If not Judge Kavanaugh, then who? This is the question Republicans should ask themselves as they prepare for Thursday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
If this decent human being, with an exemplary record as husband, father, friend, and judge can be smeared and maligned, who is going to be capable of surviving the left’s ruthless dishonesty and willingness to lie, intimidate, and destroy?
If the left can succeed in vilifying someone with Judge Kavanaugh’s integrity and record, they will be in a position to say to President Trump, “nominate a moderate who is acceptable to us or we will smear your next nominee into rejection, too.”
Republicans should have no doubt what is at stake in the current desperate, despicable, dishonest smear campaign against Judge Kavanaugh.
The absurdity of the most recent New Yorker smear should make clear what this fight is about – power. When an anti-conservative story is so phony that The New York Times can’t bring itself to publish it, you know it is absurd. The New Yorker has set a new low for defamatory articles with no foundation in facts.
The very dishonesty of The New Yorker smear seems to have liberated Senator McConnell and others to be blunt about the character assassination that is underway.
Seen in this context, the goal of the Thursday hearing will have nothing to do with seeking the truth. When there is no corroboration for 36-year-old memories, how can the truth be the goal?

The media is looking for some juicy dirt. Democrats are looking for a check from Soros.
The Deplorables govern the country.
The GOP lose this vote and it is clear we are no longer a Republic of laws. We have instead become a kleptocracy In which a small, well funded Marxist sect can didctate to all if they scream loud enough.
These next 3 days will decide what Future, if any, The Republic has
Newt is right. The left is trying to get veto power over all Republican nominees.
So which Thursday is the hearing?
Bump!
I read that Grassley replied to Feinstein that he declined to postpone her requested delay, the hearing better be this Thursday.
[The GOP lose this vote and it is clear we are no longer a Republic of laws. We have instead become a kleptocracy In which a small, well funded Marxist sect can dictate to all if they scream loud enough.]
I’d say we saw that with the election and the re-election of the Kenyan Fraud.
Which is what President Trump is fighting.
The official governing is done by whoever is in office. They are controlled by powerful forces that cause them to vote in a certain way.
As for believing the woman, there was a game my family played around 1973 that involved detecting whether someone could get away with lying.
My mother won that game.
“...who is going to be capable of surviving the left’s ruthless dishonesty and willingness to lie, intimidate, and destroy?”
They will be able to survive when we have Republicans who will fight back. Like Trump.
This charade that will occur Thursday is an unforced error by gutless Republicans.
There is nothing too low for the Left as long as it gets its way.
Who governs America?
I think we’d ALL like an answer to that one!
It is not just that they smear the man, it is that they planned this for months. They waited until the hearings were over before they began their attack.
The Senate needs a new rule. Nothing will be considered once the hearings are complete. If someone has evidence of any wrong doing, bring it forward at the hearing.
We also need to revisit the slander and libel laws in this country. If someone makes an accusation (even against a public person) and they can not back it up with proof then they can be sued in court for damages.
The accuser must provide the proof. We must get away from this idea that a person’s word is enough to ruin someone one.
The communists in the Democrat party and their minions in the Ministry of Propaganda, aided by the Marxist Indoctrination Centers we call public schools and universities.
