The Left's dismally weak case against Brett Kavanaugh

The venerable Washington Post, the newspaper that brought down a Republican president and spawned at least two Hollywood movies, a paper backed by the resources of the wealthiest man in America, sicced three reporters (including a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter) and six researchers on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

This fearsome team produced two exposes on the nominee revealing that — drum roll, please — Kavanaugh drinks Budweiser at his local pub and used a credit card to buy season tickets to his hometown baseball team.

When NARAL, the multimillion-dollar abortion lobby, trained its resources on the man, they came up with — another drum roll, if you please — a tweet mocking his name and calling him a frat boy.

Efforts to suggest his perfectly mainstream positions are extreme are ridiculous. They may shock reporters but will alarm neither the median voter nor legal scholars.

Most notably, Kavanaugh praised the late Justice William Rehnquist's dissent in Roe v. Wade, the notorious 1973 case that invented a sweeping constitutional right to abortion and invalidated state laws protecting the unborn. This was part of a “freewheeling judicial creation of unenumerated rights,” as Kavanaugh put it, succinctly and aptly.
