Whitehouse uses
Kavanaugh’s own calendars, yearbook and notes to catch him in lies in his denials of attempted rape
By

I want to share two articles with you about the stand our Senator Sheldon
Whitehouse took during the confirmation hearings on Trump’s pick for
Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh
had, until Friday, tried to play the role of chaste, respectful altar boy, a
man of impeccable character unstained by any sordid past.
None
of what Dr. Christine Ford said about him could possibly be true. And to “prove”
it, Kavanaugh introduced his calendars for his high school years at Georgetown
Prep.
Personally,
I think that Kavanaugh’s production of his calendar notes is enough to show he is
unfit for the Supreme Court because they do not, to paraphrase Princess
Bride, say what he thinks they say. I ask you - would any competent lawyer do that?
That’s
where Sen. Whitehouse came in. Using Kavanaugh’s own calendars and notes, Whitehouse took
him apart, focusing in particular on phrases and notes Kavanaugh himself wrote.
Before
we move on to the two articles, I just want to note how stressful all this must
be to Charlestown’s resident curmudgeon Jim Mageau, who took to the Letters
to the Editor page of the Westerly Sun on September 21 to blast Senator
Whitehouse.
Mageau charged Whitehouse with engaging in “political theatre” and using unproven charges like this to destroy the family and reputation of an outstanding jurist” and calls for Whitehouse to be disbarred.

Well,
Jim, a lot has changed since September 21. I wonder if you will now write a
letter to the editor with your apology.
Here
are two articles.
