Brett Kavanaugh Confirmation Made Uglier

There are very few things I'm sure of in the latest, and worst, chapter in the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation saga.

What if Christine Blasey Ford is telling the truth that, 36 years ago, a drunken 17-year-old Brett Kavanaugh pushed her down on a bed and covered her mouth in an attempt to sexually assault her?

What if her claim is only subjectively true? What if she believed that Kavanaugh intended her terrible harm, but he had no such intent, simply thinking he was being funny, flirtatious, manly, or some other dumb idea drunk 17-year-old jocks sometimes have?

The well-documented patterns of his life and career suggest that the Kavanaugh of Ford's memory is not the Kavanaugh he became - or perhaps ever was.

No one is talking about prosecuting Kavanaugh.

All one need do is look under the rock of social media to see countless people insisting that Kavanaugh is a proven rapist or attempted rapist.

She made no attempt to ask Kavanaugh about them, even in closed session.
