Despicable treatment

Straight, sometimes raw, talk is needed. This treatment of Kavanaugh is despicable, and is recognized as such by decent, fair, non-ideologue people with enough sense to come in out of the rain.

Proof that you are mistreating and abusing the rights of another is that you don’t want it for yourself. Would you stand in support of an accuser of your sons and grandsons if they were in Kavanaugh’s place? Is the onus on the accused? What thinking person believes women never lie, and should always be believed?

Maryland has no statute of limitations on this type of crime. A sure way to stop this nomination dead in its tracks is for Ford to press charges in criminal court. Not only would it be a quick and easy way to stop the nomination, but it would also remove Kavanaugh from the federal bench as well. It’d be tantamount to cutting off both legs and arms. Are any of his detractors smart enough to figure out why charges have not been filed?

Not interested in due process of law that protects everyone? Want to leave it up to public opinion? Will you submit to public opinion in your life? Maybe you think you can throw the law and common decency to the side, just this once, while you destroy this man, with the intention of picking up the law and decency later for yourselves?

There is a literary term, “suspension of disbelief,” which describes the creation of a fantasy world. Are we such non-thinkers?

This country has more citizens with college degrees than at any time in our history. It is obvious that haters have educated themselves to the level of an imbecile; and blind ones at that.
