Blasey Ford/Kavanaugh Testimony Exposes Deep Misogyny and Political Divides

"[Kavanaugh's] supporting torture; undermining Congress and the rule of law; contempt for habeas corpus; giving the president the powers of a king--Any of these are more than enough reason to oppose him, but Democrats ignored or barely mentioned them during judiciary committee hearings.  There were no rants, floor speeches. Liberal groups did not air ads about it.

"Give the Democrats the benefit of the doubt: Maybe they determined that the sexual allegations would have longer legs, would make more headway, than Kavanaugh's judicial extremism. Marketing money is limited.  Better to focus on what works."

                                                                                  ---Ted Rall, Counterpunch

And so, once again, the ladies, all of a fairly mindless but determined flutter, are saving our collective asses--just as they did with gay rights and "gay marriage."  Kavanaugh couldn't be confirmed now as a Supreme Court justice, if he single-handedly came up with a cure for cancer. There is still hope that somebody who opposes torture will gain the seat on the Bench that he's lost.
