Sorry folks, it’s over.  The American experiment, that is.

The attorney who represented Christine Blasey Ford during Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court contentious confirmation hearings said in a speech earlier this year that Ford was motivated to come forward in part by a desire to tag Kavanaugh’s reputation with an “asterisk” before he could start ruling on abortion-related cases.

The high-powered progressive lawyer, Debra Katz, made the remarks at the University of Baltimore’s 11th Feminist Legal Theory Conference, entitled “Applied Feminism and #MeToo.” Her comments were first quoted in the book “Search and Destroy: Inside the Campaign Against Brett Kavanaugh” by Ryan Lovelace, which Fox News has obtained.

Truth is irrelevant.  The point was to smear, to make sure that any ruling related to abortion that went before the Supreme Court was considered by half the nation to be invalid.

Folks, this sort of admission — and note the audacity in being willing to say it out loud — and not have an instant felony indictment issue against everyone involved, including Ford and this attorney, or, if not forthcoming, 150 million Americans on both their doorsteps with torches and pitchforks, says everything you need to know.

I always assumed this was a political hit piece; that there was exactly zero credibility to these allegations.  Yes, they deserved to be heard.  But when there was zero corroboration and it became clear this was a pure fabrication that sort of event had exactly one proper resolution: Prosecution.

It didn’t happen, it won’t happen, and the people won’t rise and demand it happen.

The Rule of Law is dead.
