Dr. Christine Blasey Ford





"It is not my responsibility to determine
whether Mr. Kavanaugh deserves to sit on the Supreme Court.
My responsibility is to tell you
THE TRUTH."

Dr. Ford

 I believe you Christine Ford.
I'm deeply saddened the vote is still scheduled for tomorrow
and like Anita Hill
your testimony won't matter.
I don't care that the event occurred 36 years ago.
A boy who is capable of such acts and a man
who can not own his conduct is not fit
to sit on the highest court in the country.
Yep, the rules are different for Supreme Court Justices.
You need to be of the highest moral caliber.
You need a clean past.

Why is okay for actions that occurred decades ago to be dismissed,
as being irrelevant, and not a true indicator of character
when those same actions destroyed the mental health of another individual?
The same act can not be both life changing for one and inconsequential for another.
I have to wonder if Mark Judge, Kavanaugh's high school buddy who was present during the assault
but absent from the hearing,
slipped into a life of drugs and alcohol as a way to cope with years of bad boy behavior.

He said, she said.
Sadly, his voice remains louder and more powerful in our country.
The sun sets on another dark day in American political history.
I fear this one will reverberate for the rest of my days.
