Regardless of whether Christine Blasey Ford or Brett Kavanaugh was telling the truth or lying, one thing was very clear from the Senate Judiciary Hearing September 27 in which the two testified concerning Dr. Ford’s allegation of sexual assault against Judge Kavanaugh: as a justice of the Supreme Court Mr. Kavanaugh will be anything but objective when it comes to legal issues near and dear to Democrats. This should have been the main take away for anyone who watched his testimony, and for that reason alone, regardless of whether he did or did not do what Dr. Ford claims he did, he should not be confirmed to a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land where his decisions will affect the lives of millions of people for decades to come.

In his testimony, Judge Kavanaugh protested against and vilified Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee for turning the proceedings into a “circus” and for having ruined his and his family’s life. He claimed that they and they alone were responsible for the predicament he found himself in. Really? And I thought he was brought there to answer to charges of sexual misconduct that weren’t being levied by Democrats but by a woman from his past. How are Democrats responsible for her allegations and those of other women from his past?

Yet, in Judge Kavanaugh’s world view, Democrats are the demons. If that is truly how he feels, is there any doubt that he would carry this animus against Democrats and the issues they support into his judicial decisions as a Supreme Court Justice?

Judge Kavanaugh in his statement claimed that he was a good jurist, fair and objective. Nevertheless, he saw fit to demonize one group of U.S. Senators for all his troubles. How can a jurist be objective if he quite clearly loathes anyone who happens to hold certain beliefs that he obviously does not?

No one will ever know whether Judge Kavanaugh did the things that Dr. Ford and other women have alleged. The judge claims vociferously that he is innocent, and absent any corroborating witnesses, the claims boil down to a he said, she said scenario, and for the observer a choice between who seems more credible, essentially a flip of the coin.

There have been individuals who have given statements regarding Judge Kavanaugh and his behavior in high school and college that run counter to his narrative and quite simply are very unflattering. But then, he has rounded up others who have testified in his defense to the contrary. If one is to believe that the women who have alleged sexual improprieties in Judge Kavanaugh’s past are telling the truth and are not pawns of others bent on character assassination of the judge, then, the mere fact of the allegations should give one pause and question if the true character of the man is the kind one expects of a Supreme Court jurist.

Again, unless someone can come forward with clear-cut evidence that the judge did what has been claimed, we will never really be sure. One thing we can be sure of, however, the judge hates Democrats and as the country is made up of both Democrats and Republicans and many other political beliefs, but Democrats are in the majority, it is clear that he can in no way be objective toward Democrats and the issues they support and is thus unqualified to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. On that basis alone he should not be confirmed by the United States Senate to the United States Supreme Court.
