By now, Brett Kavanaugh would have hoped that he was rid of these memories and trauma.
Unfortunately, every year, around the end of September, America’s attention seems to come back.
It’s because no Supreme Court Justice had ever been accused of what Kavanaugh was being accused of, and the fact that Kavanaugh was able to make it through the confirmation process despite all the mud being slung was nothing short of a miracle.
September 27 marks the day that Christine Blasey Ford, a Professor, accused U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of committing sexual assault against her back in 1982.
The case was notable not only for how high-profile it was but for the fact that it was clear that one of these two respected professionals was lying.
According to the BostonHerald.com, “Christine Blasey Ford said she was ‘100 percent’ certain that she was sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh when they were teenagers, and Kavanaugh then told senators that he was ‘100 percent certain’ he had done no such thing.
Both those things can’t be true.
America clearly had a problem on its hands.
Donald Trump had just named Brett Kavanaugh to be named to one of the most prestigious positions in all the land, but America didn’t know if we could trust this man.
Because of the highly sensitive nature of the accusations, America was immediately gripped by the saga. As a result, millions of Americans watched as Kavanaugh slid through the nomination process by the skin of his teeth.
Trouble starts
Early in Kavanaugh’s nomination process, things appeared to be going normally. Then, after the Senate Judiciary Committee had already questioned Kavanaugh and heard from witnesses, “it was revealed that psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford had written a letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein in July accusing Kavanaugh of sexual assault while they were both in high school in 1982.”
As a result, “the Committee postponed its vote and invited both Kavanaugh and Blasey Ford to appear at a public Senate hearing. In the interim, two other women, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick, accused Kavanaugh of separate past instances of sexual assault.”
The final decision
On September 27, Blasey Ford testified before the Committee about what she thought happened in 1984. Then, “the following day the nomination was forwarded to the full Senate on an 11–10 vote.[2] Then, on October 6, 2018, following a supplemental FBI investigation into the allegations, the Senate voted 50–48 to confirm Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court.”
Kavanaugh and the man who appointed him, Donald Trump, were finally victorious. Even though Kavanaugh’s reputation had taken a hit, Republicans had made it through one of the first examples of a witch hunt against them in the Donald Trump era.
Six years later, liberals are still trying to hit Trump and his friends with every dirty trick in the book.
Each time the end of September rolls around, Kavanaugh is reminded of that.
