U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein’s Monkey Wrench? The hearing of Judge Brett Kavanaugh was at an end. All the questions ended. It was time for the Senate Committee to take a vote! THEN, out of leftfi eld comes Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), holding a letter accus- ing the good judge of being a naughty teenager decades ago. Reportedly, she had this letter for several months but never brought it up or shared it with anyone includ- ing her own Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. We know Feinstein, isn’t she the senator who had a Chinese spy on her payroll for a number of years? Guess she never heard about the glass house scenario, eh?

OUR POLICY: To help preserve the ideals and sacred traditions of this our adopted country the United States of America: To revere its laws and inspire others to respect and obey them: To strive unceasingly to quicken the public’s sense of civic duty: In all ways to aid in making this country greater and better than we found it. GUEST EDITORIAL WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENT? by Sal Giarratani Current events seem not to bode well for how Americans discern confl iction over alleged actions. Swirling all around us at the mo- ment is an issue about facts being called into question from over three decades ago. The subject in question is the fi tness of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. From the get-go it was clear that anything they do on Capitol Hill will get drowned in the hyper- partisanship that goes as normal in America 2018. Things were going along swimmingly (I speak, of course) Nothing goes swimmingly any longer when our politicians are involved. At fi rst it was normal Democrats think Kavanaugh is Public Enemy Number 1 and Republicans who think he is St. Michael the Arch- angel. Point, counterpoint, on and on and on! Then a letter shows up accusing Kavanaugh of being a naughty boy back in high school in 1982. It is a charge only but enough to get the Democrats riled up pretty good. One of them even says he has a Spartacus Moment. Turns out he was a Fake Kirk Douglas. Our public discourse atmosphere has been pretty poisoned lately. No one seems to care about facts but only emotion. Who has an open mind? All the Senators on both sides of the aisle al- ready knew how they were voting before Chairman Grassley gave gaveled the hearings into session. Here we are late Monday evening, a few days away from the Sen- ate Committee ready to hear both the accuser Christine Blasey Ford and accused Brett Kavanaugh. Then another accuser comes forward. After six vetting’s, it is all coming down to a He Said, She Said, Welcome to Circus Town. Even Hollywood writers couldn’t come up with this screenplay. This past Monday, supporters of Ford took part in a National Day of Protest demanding that we should all “Believe Women.” Then on the other side, we hear it is a big tado over nothing more than “crazy drunken horseplay.” Or it was just the ‘80s everybody was doing it. I ask what happened to the presumption of innocence. What happened to attaining the facts before declaring anyone guilty as charged? A society that allows itself to make judges based on emotions and not facts is a nation heading in the wrong direction. In the end, the Senate Judiciary Committee needs to either chose or not chose Kavanaugh. Or it needs to ask the White House to withdraw its nominee to the Highest Court in the Land. However, it must do its job based on the facts and not on emotion or feel- ings or political bias. Anything else is a misuse of power and the Senate’s role to advise and consent when judging our Judges.
