Malice Aforethought
On July 9, 2018, President Donald J. Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to a seat on the United States Supreme Court. President Trump said, “There is no one in America more qualified for this position, and no one more deserving,”
“The Rule of Law is our nation’s proud heritage. It is the cornerstone of our freedom. It is what guarantees equal justice,” the President added.
It is clear from Democratic activities during the 89 days before the vote that Democrats harbor no such beliefs. In particular, as we saw time and again during the final few weeks before the vote, they tried to advance the idea that an accusation without any corroborating evidence must be believed.
The Democrats did this with malice aforethought. They dragged the Judge’s good name through the mud. They dragged the Judge’s family through the mud. The strategy was obvious.
