Dems may win the battle but lose the war … vice versa for the GOP
=============
It’ll be an interesting couple of news cycles as the Kavanaugh accusations either get substantiated or vaporize.
My initial take: the allegations are serious but the case details are sketchy and the timing is suspicious.
In a court of law, I’d rather be Kavanaugh’s attorney since (a) the allegations go back 35 years (to high school!); (b) the accuser’s memory is fuzzy (e.g. where was the party held?) (c) no corroborators have stepped forward or have been discovered (who else attended the party?); (d) no other accusers have stepped forward to implicate a pattern of behavior; (e) first disclosure was made 30 years after-the-fact to a marital counselor.
But, in the court of public opinion – where accusation and verdict are synonymous and facts are fungible – I’d rather be the accuser’s attorney.
The quasi-legal situation should play out in warp speed over the next couple of days.
Today, let’s look at the politics…
