Evidence not needed as Pressley targets Kavanaugh
“When we recite the Pledge of Allegiance. we end with the line ‘and justice for all.’ And every time, I amend it and say, ‘someday.’ ” — Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.)
Congresswoman, when is “someday” for Brett Kavanaugh?
On Tuesday, Boston’s most famous social justice warrior filed a resolution to open an impeachment inquiry against the sitting Supreme Court Justice.
“Sexual predators do not deserve a seat on the nation’s highest court and Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process set a dangerous precedent,” Pressley said. “We must demand justice for survivors and hold Kavanaugh accountable for his actions.”
Well, I’m not as ambitious as Rep. Pressley. Before we get to “social justice,” I’d be thrilled if we could just get to “justice” justice.
How can Pressley of all people advance the cause of “presumed guilty”? She’s spent the past decade fighting against the presumption of guilt against people of color. “Black Americans are targeted for driving while black, for organizing while for literally existing while black,” Pressley said in May.
Today, she smears a man as a “sexual predator” and wants Congress to try, convict and throw him off the court without evidence because, hey — that’s what white, male Republicans do, right? Plus, Kavanaugh was appointed … by Donald Trump!
Off with his head!
At the risk of offending Rep. Pressley and her “woke” friends, I’m still unwoke enough to want something that at least resembles evidence before I send someone through a prosecution, trial and conviction. Even if it’s a political trial as conducted by the corrupt hacks we send to Congress.
And as of this writing, there is no evidence — none — to back up the charges against Kavanaugh. How do we know? Because if there were, it would be in that political-suicide-bomb of a book the two New York Times writers just released. When you’ve spent a year hounding a guy’s friends, family and classmates and the best you’ve got is “A lawyer for Bill Clinton says he saw Kavanaugh drop trow 35 years ago, but the woman he allegedly waved his privates at says she doesn’t remember it ever happening,” you know Pressley and her pals got nothing.
Because if they had anything else, anything — parking tickets, jaywalking, not tipping at least 15 percent — they would have gone with it instead.
The NYTimes also spent a year trying to confirm Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s story of a high school party that, according to all of the alleged witnesses, never happened. Instead, what the Times got was Ford’s friend and purported witness Leland Keyser saying the story “just didn’t make any sense.”
Meanwhile, we know for a fact that Ford and the lawblack, yers representing her lied to the Senate during the Kavanaugh confirmation. The woman who couldn’t travel to D.C. because she’s afraid to fly, it turned out, flies all the time. The second front door on her house she allegedly needed due to PTSD from the alleged attack? Turns out to be a second entrance for an in-home business, according to building permits.
Rep. Pressley wants to impeach a Supreme Court justice over this? If a black judge were ever treated this way, Pressley would be outraged!
Well, unless it’s Clarence Thomas.
And that’s the point. For all her self-aggrandizing talk about justice, what Pressley really wants is politics. Lots and lots of it. She could care less if Kavanaugh is guilty or innocent. She just wants to win.
There’s a name for people like that. Not “Social Justice Warrior.” Try “Just Another Politician.”
