The GOP Needs to Confirm Kavanaugh — This Week
By John Hawkins
PJmedia.com
Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, officiates at the swearing-in of Judge Britt Grant to take a seat
on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Atlanta, Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2018 in Washington.
A nation shouldn’t pay out money for hostages because it encourages more kidnapping. A political party shouldn’t throw a good man under the bus over what appear to be false allegations because it encourages more baseless claims against its nominees.
It is very true that Republicans could throw Kavanaugh under the bus and slam through another nominee before the election. Of course, morally that would be wrong because it would put a cloud over Kavanaugh that he doesn’t deserve, but it would also be strategically foolish. If the Democrats can stop a Supreme Court justice with unprovable, unsupported, bad faith allegations from 36 years ago, why wouldn't they do the same thing to any conservative judge or Republican up for reelection? What sane Republican would want to create a slippery slope like this?
This is a real risk because there are now extremely powerful incentives for liberal women to lie about high-ranking Republicans. Quite frankly, most liberals don’t care if the allegations are true or not and will treat the women making these claims as heroines no matter how flimsy the story (see Anita Hill). Christine Blasey Ford has more than a quarter of a million dollars coming to her through GoFundMe, and would anybody be surprised if she’s given a cushy job or paid massive consulting fees by a liberal organization after this? Then there’s the fame, the walkouts in your name, and the celebrities supporting you. On top of all that, you get to strike a blow against the hated Republicans and again, even if you’re lying, you get to go, “Oh, poor, pitiful me. I’m a victim” while you get pats on the back. I’m not saying that making an untrue accusation in a case like this is all sunshine and roses, but it’s very easy to understand why someone would do so.

At what point do Democrats start running Craigslist ads? "Did you know this Republican in his high school or teenage years and are you willing to make an allegation against him? There's no proof required & the benefits are amazing! Six figure GoFundMe payouts, fame, meet celebs!"

Getting beyond that, Christine Blasey Ford’s 36-year-old allegation against Kavanaugh isn’t even remotely credible, based on the information that's been proffered thus far. She has no time, no date, and no location. She said in her letter to Dianne Feinstein that there were four other people at the party besides herself and every one of those people that she named has denied it. Surprisingly, the allegation made by Deborah Ramirez didn’t even make it a day before it fell apart as badly as Ford’s claim.

I have not tweeted one word doubting Ford's story (thought I have certainly mocked and criticized the process to get her to testify) and have been waiting to hear her out. But this Ramirez story reads so insanely fake I can't believe it's being entertained.

I mean, is this a joke. 35 years later she wasn't sure but 35 years plus 6 days later she was? pic.twitter.com/N0ZKKT1PNp
