The only question is did he do it?

There’s one relevant question: Did Brett Kavanaugh do what Christine Blasey Ford says he did — or anything like it?
To answer that question, the Senate Judiciary Committee has proposed the best course of action: have committee staff, not politicians, question Ford and Kavanaugh under oath, behind closed doors if Ford wishes.
But Ford and Democrats don’t want such an inquiry, in part because they want to debate other questions besides Kavanaugh’s actual guilt or innocence.
You could see it Tuesday night and Wednesday when liberal guests were going on CNN and MSNBC saying things like, “We need to judge Brett Kavanaugh not just on what he may or may not have done but how he treats a woman's pain.†Op-ed writers implying, “Did he do it?†is “the wrong question,†and that instead this inquiry must go “beyond the who did what and beginning to understand the context that leads such a question to be necessary in the first place.â€
They want to turn this into a trial of “have men gotten away with sexual abuse in our culture for decades?†They want to make it a question of “is Christine Blasey Ford suffering?â€
They want to make this a trial over whether rich white prep school kids have skated through life without ever suffering consequences.
