CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 22, 2018
THE BRETT KAVANAUGH HEARING FOR A SEAT ON THE SUPREME COURT BEGIN SEPTEMBER 4, BUT THE LEFT IS ALREADY ORGANIZING IN OPPOSITION. DEMONSTRATIONS ARE SCHEDULED ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH THE FAMILIAR LITANY THAT A JUSTICE KAVANAUGH WOULD END ABORTION, FOUL THE ENVIRONMENT AND CURTAIL LGBT RIGHTS.
HOW DESPERATE THEY HAVE BECOME IS EVIDENT IN A NEW YORK TIMES STORY WHICH UNEARTHED RECORDS CLAIMING THE JUDGE TOOK A “HOSTILE TONE” AS A LAWYER INVESTIGATING BILL CLINTON’S AFFAIR WITH INTERN MONICA LEWINSKY. KAVANUGH SPENT MORE THAN THREE YEARS WORKING FOR INDEPENDENT COUNSEL KEN STARR, WHO INVESTIGATED A SERIES OF SCANDALS DURING THE CLINTON PRESIDENCY. HE ALSO WORKED ON A REPORT THAT LED THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO IMPEACH CLINTON.
CLEARLY THIS IS PAYBACK BY DEMOCRATS WHO WILL ALMOST UNIVERSALLY OPPOSE THE NOMINATION.
AS FOR A “HOSTILE TONE,” IS THAT ALL HIS OPPONENTS CAN COME UP WITH? WHO SHOULDN’T BE HOSTILE TO A PRESIDENT HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH AN INTERN? IT WILL GET WORSE AS THE LEFT FEARS LOSING THE COURT WHICH IT HAS USED TO IMPOSE LIBERAL IDEOLOGY ON THE COUNTRY SINCE THE 1960S. I’M CAL THOMAS
