Speakout
(Opinion ~ 10/26/18)
I am a 70-plus year-old lady. I saw the Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas debate, if that’s what you want to call it. I see a repeat in Ford and Kavanaugh. We need to open our eyes. It seems to be still a good-ole boys club. He will confirmed regardless, but it is not appropriate for the president to do what he is doing while the investigation is going on. If Judge Kavanaugh can’t defend himself, how will he defend his opinions? All Democrats are not demons and all Republicans are not angels. We need to be fair on this. Thank you.
