Here we go again with a power play by Rupert Murdoch.

First Murdoch power played Kavanaugh on FOX News in a "PLEASE, PLEASE put me on the court" interview. Now, the Wall Street Journal is used for another power play by Murdoch. Oh, it must be an almighty feeling to be able to dangle judges and constitutions and citizens as if a carrot and stick in front of the people of the United States of America.

Where is Murdoch's magnificent Op-Ed supporting Dr. Ford and every other woman sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh? Will anyone ever read an Op-Ed by women that are sexually assaulted by men in the Wall Street Journal? This is exactly what everyone feared when the Wall Street Journal was sold, that it would become an OLD FRIEND unable to maintain it's dignity. Here it is. The Wall Street Journal is now part of the tabloid media of Rupert Murdoch and his need to power play in every country on the planet.

By Kavanaugh

...As I explained that night, a good judge must be an umpire—a neutral and impartial arbiter who favors no political party, litigant or policy. As Justice Kennedy has stated, judges do not make decisions to reach a preferred result. Judges make decisions because the law and the Constitution compel the result. Over the past 12 years, I have ruled sometimes for the prosecution and sometimes for criminal defendants, sometimes for workers and sometimes for businesses, sometimes for environmentalists and sometimes for coal miners. In each case, I have followed the law. I do not decide cases based on personal or policy preferences. I am not a pro-plaintiff or pro-defendant judge. I am not a pro-prosecution or pro-defense judge. I am a pro-law judge.

So, now Coach Kavanaugh is an umpire on the bench. Really?  Neutral and impartial. Does anyone believe him? No. The show of partisanship at the Senate hearing, the interview on FOXxy News and now this in the Wall Street Journal and Americans are supposed to believe Kavanaugh is not a partisan and won't be on the bench. 

I don't think so.


...As Justice Kennedy showed us, a judge must be independent, not swayed by public pressure. Our independent judiciary is the crown jewel of our constitutional republic. The Supreme Court is the last line of defense for the separation of powers, and for the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution....

Kavanaugh is trying to tell Americans he will be another Justice Kennedy? What a joke. He is cozy in the membership with the Federalist Society, a wealthy organization that wants to change the USA Constitution. No more! There will no longer be hostile organizations in the USA seeking to change the USA Constitution. We have a hostile President that nominated Kavanaugh and now Kavanaugh wants us to believe he has nothing in common with the man that went to Helsinki and carried out a three-hour meeting in complete secret.


Kavanaugh has a vote in changing the course of American history and he will think nothing of it. There is far more on the line than Roe v. Wade, the very sovereign nature of the USA hangs in the balance. Kavanaugh is already known to be a justice that favors presidential power over that of the power of the legislature. That is backwards by every measure of the founders of the USA Constitution. The founders of this country never wanted a King to lead the USA and that is exactly what Kavanaugh believes should happen with the Executive Branch. His opinions are that of his own "God-Philosophy" and has no basis anywhere in the USA Constitution.

Mitch McConnell sits in luxury with his wife in the Executive Branch waiting to build a legacy for himself with this vote. His ego is so inflated at this point the country doesn't matter. Only good old Mitch's legacy is important. The blinders are on for the Republicans and the task master in the White House holds the whip.

Beer is not the issue. Beer is enjoyed by many people, both women and men, across the nation. Beer, craft beers and IPAs are not the problem. What is the problem is a man that saw no reason to remain sober throughout his early years. He not only enjoyed drinking so much, he believed the world was his to use as he pleased for his own reasons.

On July 1st, many, many years ago a list of young men were set for a good time with Brett's brewskis according to his calendar. Those same names happened to show up at the party an unwitting 15 year old young woman decided to join. She joined a party. She wanted to be involved with a group of young people socially. She was looking forward to that opportunity since she was mostly outside that group of young people because she went to a different school than some of them.

She was given attention by two of the young men, Kavanaugh and Judge. She was beginning to feel accepted and possibly even was attractive to one or both of them. She trusted them. She drank a beer and her inhibitions relaxed, but, didn't completely disappear as others after her would. She was escorted upstairs and into a bedroom. She remembers many of the details of that night including having Brett Kavanaugh take her down on a bed. He laid on top of her with so much weight she could not get away and she feared out of his own drunken state he would kill her by mistake. Those were real feelings and real trauma and she remembers every bit of it.

Now, in an Op-Ed, Kavanaugh wants us to believe he is another Justice Kennedy. I guarantee if one held Justice Kennedy's decisions against Kavanaugh's they would not at all look similar. Kavanaugh must believe the country is drunk on his pretending and pandering to make him yet another personality, transformed by magical space in the Wall Street Journal.

Kavanaugh is a product of power and privilege. He expects his passage into power. The Republicans are voting for a partisan, not a judge. Kavanaugh has no great career and he was not admired and sought after for his genius, except for those in the Federalist Society and for that reason he found words that would serve his purpose and played with them to the content of all the conservatives in the Republican Party, espeically the most extremist, Donald Trump.

There is no reason to continue to pass power to Kavanaugh, it will never the USA and it's benevolence, so much it's destruction and the victimization of the powerless.
