All the News That's Fit to be Tied

I have an axe to grind, but unlike the New York Times, I freely admit it.

Defending Cavanaugh

Judge Brett Cavanaugh has finally been confirmed to the Supreme Court and hereafter will be called Justice Cavanaugh. Despite every effort by the Democrats to derail his confirmation, make him withdraw from the process or otherwise tarnish his reputation he will be on the Supreme Court. To say he was dragged through the mud would be an understatement. To say Democrats broke every rule in the nomination protocol would be another understatement. They attacked Cavanaugh viciously throughout hearings until the accusations became too much to bear and he gave them a taste of their own medicine in defense. The media attacked him with false stories, political cartoons and esteemed panels of experts and accusers alledging he was a gang rapist, a drunk, had bad temperament and was so hideous he should not be able to coach girls basketball, something he has been doing for years, or even remain in his current position as a judge. Fortunately for America none of this worked. There will be more crying and gnashing of teeth by Democrats, their anti-Cavanaugh cadre, and the media, but they are getting what they deserve. There will be no asterisk, no impeachment and any additional orchestrated accusations will be exposed for what they are. Hopefully those that rendered false accusations, conspired to derail Cavanaugh and committed conspiracy and perjury to do it will pay, or else it will continue. An example of these people must be made in order to restore order to the process.
