It’s irrelevant that Blasey Ford sounded convincing; Kavanaugh completely destroyed her story

It’s irrelevant that Blasey Ford sounded convincing; Kavanaugh completely destroyed her story
Let’s not forget what’s really happening here.

This is not a theater competition. It is not a debate. It not even a he-said-she-said. We’re dealing with devastatingly serious allegations against a man, by a woman who has only her memory to back up what she claims happened 36 years ago. A man accused of such things is entitled to the opportunity to offer facts that refute the accusations.

Yesterday Brett Kavanaugh did so in powerful and convincing fashion. He pointed out that he has detailed calendar records that indicate he couldn’t possibly have been where Christine Blasey Ford claims he was at the time she says it happened. He referenced a fact that Democrats on the committee want everyone to forget – that everyone Blasey Ford claims was at this event refutes that it ever happened.

Throughout the entirety of his 45-minute opening remarks, Kavanaugh remained stalwart in his defense. Regardless of whether one found his accuser’s testimony credible, anyone with eyes and ears could clearly observe that this is a man who is sure of his innocence and is not backing down.  ...

When Sen. Lindsay Graham had the chance to ask questions, he used the tail end of his time to chide his fellow Republicans for lack of spine. It was no coincidence Graham said this while staring directly towards Sen. Jeff Flake, who has been floundering back and forth as to whether he will vote to confirm Kavanaugh and soaking up every bit of attention that has come with the drama. If they do not support this man who courageously fought for what he is certain is the truth come confirmation time, then none of them deserve to serve in the Senate.

What both Graham and Kavanaugh did was brave — and not the kind of bravery our society has conditioned itself into believing underlies word. I’m not talking about the Lena-Dunham-in-an-unflattering-bikini sort of “brave,” but real, old-fashioned courage.  ...
