The Tribune’s Warm Tongue Bath Esteeming Brett Kavanaugh The Tribune editorial board, same as it ever was: “We didn’t care for Kavanaugh’s angry, defensive and at times rude behavior in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Nor did we care for nasty attacks on him by some senators. The confirmation process needs an overhaul. But we find no trace of an intemperate Kavanaugh in the 300 decisions he has written over twelve years on the U.S. Court of Appeals…Yes, we understand that installing Kavanaugh on the court could be taken as a message to women that if you speak up about a sexual assault, you won’t be believed or make a difference. Yet there is powerful evidence to the contrary: Think of the scores of powerful men whose history of sexual abuse and harassment has caught up with them in the #MeToo era. Those disgraced men will tell you that women are heard and believed today.” As the saying goes, “Yeah? No.” (Ray Pride)
