What was the role of Monica McLean?
[Hat tip: commenter “AesopFan”] Quite a few commenters have referenced stories circulating about the role of Christine Blasey Ford’s lifelong chum Monica McLean in this entire mess. McLean is a lawyer who spent a great deal of her working life … Continue reading →
Cloture vote: 51-49
Thanks to Harry Reid, the Democrats couldn’t filibuster. Although you might say the last three weeks have been one long filibuster of sorts, of an especially pernicious kind. At any rate, cloture was invoked this morning with 51 aye votes … Continue reading →
Speaking from experience: Carlson and Dershowitz on false accusations
Alan Dershowitz doesn’t think anyone should go easy on Julie Swetnick if it turns out she lied and knew she was lying: DERSHOWITZ: If you have information suggesting it’s false, and any reasonable lawyer hearing her on television says you … Continue reading →
And now, finally, we get answers to the burning questions of our time
See this: The guy who created the Devil’s Triangle drinking game calls himself the “founder” of it in the yearbook, and a guy going to different college than Kavanaugh sent a sworn letter to the FBI states that Kavanaugh’s friend … Continue reading →

And how odd that Democrats didn’t think this disqualified Obama
But the real question is—did he throw ice in anybody’s face as an “excuse to brawl”? By the way, Obama graduated from high school four years before Kavanaugh, so he’s roughly the same age although a bit older. A similar … Continue reading →
