Ye to Mr. Grassley

Senator Chuck Grassley, Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has come in for a lot of grief from conservatives circles over his handling of the Kavanaugh situation.

Get on with the vote already, many say. 

We disagree. We think Grassley has handled this affair brilliantly. At every turn he has called the Dem's bluff. 'Great! Let's have her testify! She has preconditions? Sure, we can do most of those? More time? No problem!'

With Grassley's patience the Dem's case grows worse. Dr. Ford has no case. Another alleged accuser, this Ramirez woman, was dug up by Democrat dumpster divers and really can't be sure it was Kavanaugh. All named witnesses stand with Kavanaugh.

Then there's Creepy Porn Lawyer Michael Avenatti who seems to have been victimized by a 4Chan hoax. You never want to be victimized by 4Chan. 

For what' it's worth, we don't think Dr. Ford will testify tomorrow. Perjury is a serious crime.

Name This with Update!

Ed Whelan is a lawyer, former Scalia law clerk and head of a legal foundation. Here argues that Dr. Ford's accusation against Judge Kavanaugh is a case of mistaken identity. Whelan even names names. There is some very interesting detective work here.  

The above seems,  I dunno, sketchy isn't the right word, maybe speculative? It also seems very actionable from a slander perspective*.

Still, Whelan is a lawyer, former law clerk, and head of a legal foundation. Its probably not a good idea to file suit against him.

We suspect more is coming.

Update: Whelan says naming names was wrong, but does not actually recant.

*What, you think a writer doesn't know a thing or two about libel law?
