The fix is in.
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the first woman to come forward and accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow morning, Kavanaugh will rebut, and then before the Capitol custodial staff has time to even air-out the room, the committee will meet again on Friday and give the poor, beleaguered Judge Kavanaugh a vote that will more than likely move his nomination to the full Senate. Senators are being told to hang around town this weekend because they may be called in to cast the final vote in this stacked-deck of an approval process.
Rush, rush, rush.
Time is of the essence, and there is certainly no time to waste. There is no time - and presumably no need - to hear from the other two (or is it three?) Kavanaugh accusers. The starchy old white men who hold down all eleven Republican spots on the Judiciary Committee are being more than fair in letting even one of these troubled women take up the committee's valuable time and rant about a party that got out of hand more than thirty years ago. Boys, after all, will be boys.
And to be totally fair, the starchy old white male Republicans on the Judiciary Committee will not even question Dr. Ford themselves. They have hired a sex crimes prosecutor from Arizona, a woman who spent many years working shoulder-to-shoulder with Trump-pardoned criminal Joe Arpaio.. Perfect, just damned perfect.
Why run the risk of offending college-educated, suburban women through poorly worded questions that might get tossed about in a testy hearing - especially questions being proffered by men? Bring in a little lady to score those points, Keep the hands of the committee members nice and clean and oh so pristine.
Let another broad string the bitch up, and then vote. What could be fairer than that?
Donald Trump, who, as usual, missed the entire point of the hearing, issued a long tweet blasting Democrats interfering with his appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, and he ended his diatribe with a plea to "Pray for Judge Kavanaugh and his family."
The notion that Donald John Trump, a proud adulterer who has bragged about sexual assaulting women, calling anyone to "prayer" is beyond hypocritical - it is sacrilegious to the umpteenth degree. Somehow we have devolved into a society where the biggest scoundrel can usually be spotted holding the cross and piously railing on the sins of everyone else. Donald Trump certainly fits that moldy mold.
Republicans are hellbent on packing the Supreme Court, and to that end they must work with what they have - the Kavanaugh nomination - and they must work quickly - before the November election when they could lose their weak majority in the Senate. The stops have all been pulled out, the fix is in, and the vote is imminent.
The Supreme Court of the United States of America is about to be stained, yet again - and the election in November may literally be our last opportunity to reverse the savage immorality and sheer madness of the Trump administration. It needs to be a blue wave - a mighty damned big blue wave.
That is what I'll pray for - that and the victims of sexual predators like Brett Kavanaugh and Donald John Trump!
