Columnist Kathleen Parker writes that Brett Kavanaugh should be forgiven for merely being “young and stupid” (“Take who measure of a man and not just his youth,” The Herald, Oct. 4).
What vile, partisan garbage! Even if you don’t believe Dr. Ford’s testimony of sexual assault, “young and stupid” doesn’t excuse the adult temperament of a man like Kavanaugh. This man gets belligerent and aggressive when drunk, and if his testimony is any indication, when he’s sober as well. And if this isn’t enough, this same man lied to Congress under oath about his past drinking and sexual habits solely so he could get the job.
Young and stupid is one thing, but being a mature adult who fails to take responsibility for their faults and then lies about it, well that’s a completely different ball game. Supreme Court justices should be impartial, calm and deeply moral. Kavanaugh is none of these things.
