'Fairness' for Justice Kavanaugh

Senators Susan Collins and Joe Manchin are voting for Justice Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court.

I listened to Senator Collins 45 minute description of her approach and the analysis of Kavanaugh's judicial record. She also described copious attention to the facts surrounding allegations about the Judge's sexual misconduct.

She omitted consideration of Kavanaugh's overt political statements and baseless charges because she is on the Republican team. Being so aligned, she ignored flaws in the process and a corrupted and limited FBI investigation.

So be it. The matter is finished with tomorrow's final vote.

Looking ahead, there are big fish to fry. The President of the United States remains under investigation with possible impeachment pending the outcome of Mid-term elections.

Also ahead, is the possibility that alleged victims and witnesses of Kavanaugh's sexual abuse might surface for additional investigation and prosecution because, after all, no person is above the law.

Collins argued the necessity for the presumption of innocence and fairness. The bar for defending women against abuses is higher.

What must not be forgotten is how remarkably callous an all-Republican government has become that is run mostly by white men who are fighting for their political lives against a tide of diverse Americans with unmet needs for a sustainable America.

I will rest my case in a new book.
