When sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh emerged last
month, Democrats were adamant that his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford,
be allowed to testify before Congress and the FBI investigate. In the
following weeks, over the objections of many conservatives who saw no
need to delay a vote on his Supreme Court confirmation, Republicans
nonetheless gave in on both demands.
The testimony last Thursday from Kavanaugh and Ford turned out to be pretty much a push, with neither side gaining much traction. The next day, Republicans agreed to an FBI investigation at Sen. Jeff Flake’s behest. Since then, a stalemate has existed regarding Ford’s allegations.
The way things unfolded put Democrats and the liberal media in a difficult position, precisely because their demands had been met, yet it seemed unlikely that anything disqualifying of Kavanaugh would be forthcoming. That’s when the goalposts moved. Suddenly, what may or may not have happened 36 years ago was beside the point. The real issue, the new issue, was whether Kavanugh had perjured himself during his impassioned testimony last Thursday.
