Let’s think about “left-wing conspiracies” for a moment using the one currently before us.
Documented and accepted without question by the GOP is that Dr. Blasey Ford contacted her congressional representative via in July 2018. The letter contained accusations about Brett Kavanaugh in writing. This letter was sent and received before he was nominated when Dr. Blasey Ford found that the accused was on a short list of candidates in the hands of the president.
OK, let’s stop right here and ponder this letter and the circumstances surrounding it. What do we know?
- There were about two dozen names on the shortlist of nominees that the president had.
- The letter Dr. Blasey Ford sent is about one and only one of them.
- The letter specifically accuses that one person and provides testimonial evidence dated 6 years prior to sending, sourced from credible medical professionals to whom Dr. Blasey Ford spoke to about the incident.
- Additionally the letter specifically names a friend of said nominee as a co-attacker, as well as other friends who attended the party at which the incident is said to have occurred.
- From this letter any and all other aspects of the Blasey Ford vs. Kavanaugh kerfuffle arise.
That’s all I want you to think about – the details of the initial letter Dr. Blasey Ford sent in July of this year to her representative. With only that in our hands let’s put our thinking caps on and consider the vastness of the “conspiracy” behind this plot to ruin a man in the name of partisan politics. I’ve been doing it for days and as I see it only one conclusion is plausible:
If this is part of a vast left-wing conspiracy – if this were nothing but a pre-planned, last minute partisan hack job as the Republicans insist – then that conspiracy was so vast, so well thought out, so incredibly executed that it knew enough about upcoming vacancies on the Supreme Court to start building a case on Judge Kavanaugh over half a decade before his name even appeared on a short list.
My god, they’re good!!
But wait, weren’t there other names on the list?! Is it possible that the Democrats new enough about the future SCOTUS short list that they began conspiring against each and every possible name on that list over a half-decade ago, knowing that when needed they could immediately set to work scuttling each and every one of them using impeccably fabricated evidence from credible sources?!
Of course not!! The proof for this can be summed up in only two words, “Neil Gorsuch”.
If this left-wing conspiracy had existed for years then surely the person the Democrats would have wanted to destroy with every ounce of their ire and every weapon at their disposal would be the man named to fill the seat President Obama once offered to the unquestionably qualified judge who sits next to Brett Kavanaugh on the US Court of Appeals, Merrick Garland – the man whose nomination the Republicans scuttled without a second thought or a single interview for pure political gain.
Yet somehow Gorsuch’s nomination moved through the Senate without rancor and without any major objection – heck, the utter lack of vocal opposition to Gorsuch’s nomination could be a conspiracy unto itself, but I digress.
What could the lack of opposition to the prior nominee possibly mean about this vast left-wing conspiracy machine – the machine that has so brilliantly, effectively, and permanently damaged Mr. Kavanaugh’s sterling reputation?
If this is part of a vast left-wing conspiracy – if this were nothing but a pre-planned, last minute partisan hack job as the Republicans insist – then that conspiracy was so vast, so well thought out, so incredibly executed that it knew enough about the future to know that an ultra-partisan and criminal president would be nominated and elected, that he/she would be able to convince a second sitting justice to vacate their seat so he/she could appoint the one and only judge on an as yet written shortlist that would not only overturn Roe, as the alt-christian base that helped put him/her in office requires, but the nominee would also hold positions that would not both prevent said criminal president from being investigated for their criminality while in office and also be willing to rule rule favorably on a case not yet filed based on an incident that has not yet occurred to be heard in the very year the nominee would take office that would change standing law and allow pardons issued by him/her to all his/her co-conspirators for federal crimes to prevent prosecution at the state level.
Wow! There’s a lot in there that I have yet to talk about, so let me unwrap it all.
Here’s what I am implying the Democrats needed have known in 2012 in order to allow them to “orchestrate” this public crucifixion of Brett Kavanaugh:
- That a completely unimpeachable and utterly professional woman would be willing to ruin the life she had made for herself and her family in a place designed to be as far away as possible from the memories of an attack suffered during her teen years by, knowing that it is not him, naming the nominee as one of the perpetrators of that attack to both her husband and to professional counselors, and to subsequently so effectively convince herself of that lie that she would not just pass a polygraph but would be able to survive as a “credible and attractive witness” when grilled in front of the nation by 11 men hell bent on destroying her.
- That the Republican party would nominate, and the United States would elect, a president that would be so potentially corrupt as to lead an administration so mired in conspiracy and allegation that it would require its Attorney General to recuse himself from leading an investigation into allegations against a campaign that yield multiple indictments and guilty pleas by members of the campaign, suggesting that charges will eventually be filed against the president him/herself.
- That the Republican party would nominate, and the United States would elect, a president that would wield the power of the pardon so wildly as to use it as a get out of jail free card for political cronies, citing their “unfair treatment” by political enemies, caring nothing about any potential subversion of justice that would result from said pardons, and would dangle such pardons openly in order to prevent those currently loyal to him/her from testifying against him
- That in 2015 during a traffic stop Terance Martez Gamble, a convicted felon, would be found to be in possession of a gun, be prosecuted and convicted by the state of Alabama, and be charged by the federal government for the same crime and accept a plea before appealing the case under the grounds that he was being punished twice for the crime.
- That the appellate courts would confirm the lower court rulings eventually leading to an appeal to the Supreme Court that would be heard in October 2018, just as the nominee would be voted on by the Senate.
- That the ACLU (a long time political rival of the GOP) would file an amicus brief in support of Gamble stating that “no person shall be … subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb”, even knowing that during the hearings they would be forced to (for only the 4th time in their history) issue an official statement opposing the nominee.
- That Senator Orrin Hatch, who sits on the very committee responsible for vetting the nominee, would file an amicus brief as a part of said as yet unknown SCOTUS case that would argue against the separate sovereigns doctrine, a standing legal precedent which rules that pardons granted at the Federal level have no effect on a State being able to prosecute for those crimes. In other words, if the court decided that this was a case of double jeopardy, that a Federal pardon would now also serve as a States’ pardon.
- That “Brett Kavanaugh” would the one and only name on an as yet defined short list of nominees to an as yet unopen seat on the Supreme Court given to an as yet unelected criminal president that would satisfy not just the alt-christian’s desire to overturn Roe (every name on that list does that), but would also be willing to subvert long standing judicial precedent in order to defend a criminal president and their allies from any and all possible prosecution.
Damn, that’s a lot to take in.
And if you’ve been able to take it all in, damn, it’s an incredibly impossible pill to swallow.
Yet, that is what the Republican members of the Judicial Committee would have you believe…
That in the late summer of 2018 a professional woman trained in the effects of trauma will more than credibly be able to express the details to a Senate Committee regarding an experience of sexual assault that occurred during her teens at a party held in the neighborhood of a future nominee to the Supreme Court while naming names of not just the nominee and an alleged co-attacker but other friends of said nominee, be convincing to the extent that they must capitulate that she indeed suffered some form of attack on the night in question but that attack could not possibly have been from the accused because he is a man so utterly and completely devoid of character flaws that to even consider the credibility of the accusation would be to do him the most vile of injustices, and that their Democratic rivals (who could not manage to get the most well know and electable woman in their party’s history elected president in a “can’t lose election” just two years prior) were prescient and resourceful enough to know in 2012 that they both found and convinced this woman to falsely confess to her husband and to a marriage counselor that a man who she did not know committed that assault, because no other name on the list they do not yet have will possibly work for them in 2018.
Come on, folks. Even I know that no one outside of people working for Infowars is smart enough to pre-plan all of that.
So what does it mean if this isn’t all a conspiracy?
More importantly, what does it say about you if I’ve managed to convince you that it probably isn’t and you still don’t care?
