<p>It has been almost five years since Justice Bret Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court after an intense FBI investigation concerning an accusation of sexual assault in his college years. ; </p>



<p>At no time in his past &#8212; including a past Senate confirmation to the federal courts – were such accusations ever advanced. ; There were not even rumors of misconduct. ; The FBI found no credible evidence to support the belated claims of Christine Blasey Ford, a left-wing political activist &#8212; and Kavanaugh was confirmed.</p>



<p>That should have been the end of the controversy, but those on the left do not take defeats comfortably. ; They harbor grudges that manifest themselves from time to time – and Kavanaugh&#8217;s hatred has been on simmer since his confirmation.</p>



<p>As a free constitutional society, we respect the right of people to assemble and peacefully protest – with emphasis on peacefully. ; But the left’s anger at the Supreme Court in general – and Justice Kavanaugh specifically – has led the most radical faction to exceed proper behavior and constitutional rights.</p>



<p>A recent prosecutorial-style documentary fired up the nutcase contingent on the left. ; They gathered at both the Supreme Court and the Kavanaugh home to resurrect the old issues and demand his removal from the Court.</p>



<p>In many ways, the documentary by Doug Liman was intended to stir the passion and promote the public protests. ; It was nothing less than a prosecutor&#8217;s brief (propaganda) in the court-of-public-opinion – a presentation that would have never prevailed in a court-of-law.</p>



<p>The documentary offered supposedly new evidence – although it fell far short of real evidence. ; Just more after-the-fact accusations from folks who have less credibility than Ford.</p>



<p>Although the protests were more of concocted political stunts without a clear achievable goal, the gathering at the Supreme Court was well within the constitutional rights of the assembled. ; One does not have to have a worthy or practical cause with an achievable goal in order to protest.</p>



<p>It was the appearance for the aggrieved outside the Kavanaugh home that was beyond decency and constitutional protection. ; They were actually breaking the law – although they are laws that are routinely broken by demonstrators.</p>



<p>Chanting outside of the Justice’s home at night was not a protest. ; It was harassment. ; They were not only disturbing the peace of the Kavanaugh family but of the neighbors. ; Falsely shouting that Kavanaugh is a rapist within earshot of his children is a despicable act. ; It is a lie.</p>



<p>Protestors at Kavanaugh’s home were not veiled in their desire to harass. ; One of the main chants was “no privacy for us, <strong>no peace for you</strong>” – “privacy” refers to the basis for the original Roe v. Wade decision. ; The “no peace for you” concedes their motivation – harassment.</p>



<p>And yes … Kavanaugh is not a rapist. ; He has the right to be considered innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. ; And he is not even under investigation or indictment for rape or any other crime – and never has been. ; If Kavanaugh were not a public figure, he would have every right to sue the accusers for slander.</p>



<p>The accusation against Kavanaugh was subject to two intense FBI investigations – more than such accusations would have been investigated if he was an ordinary citizen. ; The FBI investigations did not lead to subsequent criminal investigations because there was no cause to proceed further. ; Case closed.</p>



<p>Increasingly, the freedom to protest has evolved into personal harassment. ; Public figures have been accosted on the streets … in restaurants … and at their homes. ; While protestors may get an inflated sense of self-importance and empowerment, harassment does not reflect well on the protestors or their cause. ; That is not within their constitutional rights. ; Perhaps it is time for law enforcement to uphold the law.</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Left-wing Uglies Will Not Stop Harassing Kavanaugh
