The Brett Kavanaugh confirmation fight has moved the United States into a brave new world of raw, primal politics. Many Americans who have resisted tribal callings will be forced to pick sides. For many in the center-right coalition who have resisted pressure to move toward President Donald Trump, the hearings have done it.
What we have witnessed is a disgusting display of partisan gamesmanship by Democrats who are willing to use a traumatized woman against a good, innocent man. There is no question that, after watching her testimony, Christine Blasey Ford has been the victim of some long ago inflicted trauma. There is also no question that Judge Brett Kavanaugh is not the one who inflicted it.
