Vote now on Kavanaugh

Anymore, I truly hate to venture into politics here. It isn't very much fun, it can alienate a large segment of my audience, and I simply like writing lighter fare. But this Kavanaugh thing has gone too far and needs to stop.

With all due respect to all involved, I have the right to doubt 30 and 35 year old accusations. There's been too much history between then and now and the farther we are from any given incident the harder it is to prove anything particular about it. Unless you can come up with credible evidence, this will devolve into 'he-said she-said' and nothing will come of it. We won't know anything with any more certainty than we do this minute.

This is a hatchet job, obvious character assassination. The preponderance of the evidence heavily favors Kavanaugh. And more is at stake than innocence or guilt over one or maybe two alleged sexual assaults. Everybody's due process rights are out the window when the pointed finger is enough to condemn any one of us of any thing. I fear for every mother's son when allegations become evidence and accusation becomes proof.
