The most powerful segment of the Fox interview of Judge Brett Kavanaugh came
when he was almost on a breaking point, on the verge of tears,
defending his name and integrity. Here’s a lifelong family man, with a
stellar judicial record, supported by his clerks and hundreds of other
colleagues, highly recommended by the bar associations, facing
Kafkaesque charges and concerted character assassination from Democrats,
media, and activists.
Imagine yourself in his position. Anyone with even an ounce of dignity, who has worked all his life to reach this point, now faces charges that would lead any weaker man to near-fatal depression. I have been covering politics and elections since 2008, in three different continents, and writing for American publications ever since January 2011, and I have never seen such craven Senate Republican leadership cowering under Democratic skulduggery.
It reminds me of a political story that goes around in the United Kingdom. A young conservative member of Parliament enters the House of Commons, the lower house of the British Parliament for the first time. Excited, he finds an old conservative veteran and sits next to him, and says “Sir, I cannot express how excited I am to finally see the enemy on the other side of the bench!”
The old veteran conservative smiles and says, “My dear chap, that’s the opposition. The enemies are the fools and cowards on this side behind you.”
