The Kavanaugh Confirmation

Let’s recap. A president who has been accused of sexual assault by nineteen women, who slept with models and porn stars while he was married and subsequently paid for their silence, who is under investigation by multiple law enforcement agencies and has been named as a co-conspirator in multiple felony charges, and who once bragged on television about getting away with sexual assault because he was famous, nominated a man with a documented history of being a belligerent drunk and who is facing credible allegations of sexual assault - and who, oddly enough, once helped to prosecute another sitting president for consensual sex - for a lifetime appointment to the most powerful court in the country. Republicans then ignored and rewrote the rules of the Senate in order to have this man confirmed despite the fact that the Bar Association, thousands of legal scholars, and one retired Supreme Court justice publicly denounced the man as being unfit for the position, and despite the fact that the man angrily and vengefully lashed out at “the Left” during his confirmation hearings. This is the United States of America in 2018, folks, and it isn’t pretty.
