Train Kept a Rollin' All Night Long...
From what you've seen of Judge Kavanaugh, do you think he'd be a strong conservative Justice Kavanaugh? Or do you think -- like he was led around by pals, a clear follower in high school and college -- that Justice Kagen would have a ring in his nose on Day One, putting him through the paces and taking his accommodating nature for granted?
I see the latter.
Kavanaugh is no muscular Christian.
He's another John Roberts -- when push comes to shove, he'll fold and impose a healthy persons penalty tax so that America's underlings can support the sick, unhealthy and undocumented in need of medical services. Much easier to force an unprecedented mandate than to force the country's leaders, and the philanthropic wealthy class, to directly address an underlying medical population problem -- too many people with unmet needs and too much fat at the top content to continue importing disposable human flesh to meet their economic needs. Nothing personal, it's business.
Brett Kavanaugh never appears to have taken a principled stand in his life. He coaches children, for heaven's sake. Girl children, and he specially mentors the majority-women that procurers like Jud Rubenfeld and his wife Amy Chua send him from Yale. (J.D. Vance's ethnic-Asian wife -- no hillbilly there! -- and Chua/Rubenfeld's mixed Asian-Jewish daughter have both served Kavanaugh as clerk... This qualifies as diversity selection instead of black-white, African-American diversity that dominates the other economic classes.)
I don't trust Brett Kavanaugh. He simply won't deliver on behalf of conservatives -- like with Roberts, it's all a charade to advance himself. There's a reason he prospered in establishment Washington, with a lobbyist for a father (whom we never hear about, I note) and an admired mother, the original Judge Kavanaugh...
President Trump was elected to scrub Washington of the Clinton-Bush-Obama years. There's a man who can deliver. Everything about
his track record shouts, "Results!" and his performance in office has smiles on the faces of a diverse constitutency of colleagues. It's not all stepford look-alikes that have prospered under his watch, and are now singing his praises: some outwardly, some inside when they cash the checks they've earned in this brave new economy that does not bend to foreign leaders or unfair trade policies that disadvantage us and our American children.
Kavanaugh... not so much.
Devil's Triangle... Boozing 'em up to take advantage...
Non-stepford women, with ethnic names like Renata and Ramirez, stepping up years later to tell tales not on America's father Bill Cosby this time, but on the man who would apparently like to replace him, campaigning for Daddy Justice of the year...
You wonder how such silly sexual references slipped past the monitors of such an allegedly prestigious institution. You wonder if people watching this farce are beginning to understand the Catholic Church sexual scandals -- where the buck was passed, nobody could believe
that!, and good people kept their mouths, and minds, shut to such ugliness and evil that occurs in our world, often by human hands.
You wonder too, if we will learn Kavanaugh's definition of "virgin". Is it solely genitalia involved?
Years ago, the country cringed as Ken Starr, collaborating with young Kavanaugh, put the presidency through the paces and put us all through the wringer with the sexual images and vocabulary. Well here it comes again...
Did Mike Judge enlist Brett Kavanaugh as a follower in his sad sexual games, as it appears from the self confessions in the senior yearbook? Did Judge's girlfriend -- who spoke of the age old seduction technique of plenty of booze and perhaps taking advantage of unconscious, unparticipating non-consenting prep-school petting -- have it right? Was Renate an unremembering victim of half the football team, and the boys memorialized her in their yearbook under the unwitting eyes of school censors?
Tomorrow, unless Brett Kavanaugh steps up as a man, not a boy, and ends this farce, America and our children will learn these answers. Amy Coney Barrett is a solid pick. Could Brett Kavanaugh support a woman -- not a basketball underling, or a mentee hand-selected from Yale, but an educated and equal woman -- to succeed his nomination and advance professionaly where he has been unable to convince the country he belongs?
It's not just a bunch of septagenarian Senators now who need to continue to buy the choirboy act and look past what the nominee wrote about his self-confessed illegal activities that if known, likely would not see him admitted to Yale undergrad today... It's the country.
It's women, and their children, with names like Ramirez... It's women like those of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, who have had their suspicions about this particular man aroused enough to ask for an FBI investigation. It's younger leaders, like Sen. Murkowski, who are practically begging their Republican white-male counterparts, and their ladies, to please at least listen to the charges, and read what the nominee himself wrote, and consider than men who are followers in high school and who-go-along-to-get-along in whatever group they belong to at the moment, are rarely the decisive leaders like the one we elected in 2016.
I suspect Amy Coney Barrett is more an heir to Trump in terms of independence than what we are seeing out of Brett Kavanaugh in the days of late. Why not her? Why not now?
What exactly are we waiting for again, and why does the country -- and its children -- have to be dragged through another Washington sex scandal story simply because that is how the young nominee cut his teeth, and that was the company he chose to keep in his impressionable days coming up in Washington D.C.
Kavanaugh is one of George W. Bush's fish.
Throw him back and give us natives a fresh-water version, President Trump.
