QUOTES OF THE DAY – AT 12:52 P.M. ET:  There is nothing new at this hour on the Kavanaugh case.  Presumably, Senate Republicans are negotiating with Professor Ford over her demands, which are ridiculous.  We don't yet know if she'll actually testify. 

However, there are two quotes that I think sum things up rather nicely.  The first is from Candace Owens, the young black woman who has made such an impression in the last year.  From Fox: 

Candace Owens spoke out Tuesday on Fox & Friends against the actions of Senate Democrats, accusing them of "politicizing" sexual assault.

"We have reached peak lunacy on the left. This is, by the way, the most disgusting thing they have done yet," Owens said.

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford publicly identified herself Sunday as the previously anonymous person who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of trying to rape her at a party in the 1980s when both were in high school in Maryland. 

Ford's accusation was made known by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who announced that she sent the tip to the FBI in July.

Owens, Turning Point USA's communications director, said she has spoken out from the start against the #MeToo movement, and that in Kavanaugh's case, it's being "hijacked" by the left in order to block his confirmation. 

"Any movement that is rooted in victimization is going to be hijacked and weaponized by the left, and that's exactly what we're seeing happen here."

Amen.  And the next, from Professor Alan Dershowitz: 

On "Fox & Friends" on Friday, Alan Dershowitz said the "most disturbing" thing about the controversy surrounding Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh is seeing people on television immediately accept Kavanaugh's sexual assault accuser as a victim and Kavanaugh as a perpetrator.

California professor Christine Blasey Ford has publicly accused Kavanaugh of attempted rape at a house party in the early 1980s when they were both high school students in Maryland.

Dershowitz, a Harvard Law professor emeritus, took issue with the fact that many lawmakers, pundits and celebrities have apparently assumed that Ford's allegation is 100 percent accurate.

"Are women born with a special gene for telling the truth and men with a special gene for lying?"

Dershowtiz asked. "I don't believe her. I don't believe him. I have an open mind. I want to hear both sides of the story and make a determination."

"That's what the American system of justice is all about."

COMMENT:  Amen to both.  They both speak sense.  The notion that Judge Kavanaugh's accuser has an automatic right to be believed, which is being peddled by the Democratic Party and in parts of Hollywood, is an insult to thinking women.  It's patronizing and outrageous.
