DESTROYING A GREAT JUDGE – AT 11:51 A.M.   A few members of the GOP, a party not known for political bravery, are now speaking out about the treatment of Judge Kavanaugh, a man of impeccable reputation.  From bizpacreview: 

Sen. Lindsey Graham tore into his Democratic colleagues in the U.S. Senate for the way they have treated Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who was hit at the last-minute with an accusation of inappropriate behavior 36 years ago in high school.

The South Carolina Republican appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity” to say Democrats are “trying to destroy his life,” and to draw questions about the intent of the accuser, California professor Christine Blasey Ford.

Grahem told host Sean Hannity that throughout the confirmation process, there has been a pattern by Democrats to take Kavanuagh’s words out of context to accuse him of things he had nothing to do with.

“I think is part of a pattern, they can’t beat him on the law so they’re trying to destroy his life,” Graham said. “And the last straw here is this allegation that came about last Thursday.”

Graham said the Senate will hold a hearing on Monday on the accusation and will vote on confirming Kavanaugh on Wednesday.

As for Ford’s claim, the former judge and prosecutor said the case was “too old” for criminal court and “too hard to prove” for civil court.

“This is not that complicated,” Graham said. “It’s a thirty six-year-old allegation, it’s a serious allegation, everybody needs to be heard but also people need to defend themselves.”

“The question for the Senate is there really enough evidence here given the nature of the allegation, how old it is, and the uncertain nature of it, to deny this man who’s lived an incredible life a promotion to the Supreme Court,” Graham said. “And if it was this bad, why did not the Democrats challenge Judge Kavanaugh when he was sitting tight there in front of them?”

COMMENT:  Very well said.  This has all the characteristics of a political hit job based on vague evidence at best.  We are always open to new, accurate, information here, but, from what we've seen, there are not enough verifiable facts on the table thus far to dent Judge Kavanaugh.
