The Inverted Morality of Republicans

With two new allegations of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh --- one public, one private so far --- it's even more obvious today that he is unfit for a Supreme Court appointment than it was yesterday.

But at this point, discussing Kavanugh's problems is redundant.  Instead, I want to focus on one point of the New Yorker story by Jayne Mayer and Ronan Farrow:

Senior Republican staffers also learned of the allegation last week and, in conversations with The New Yorker, expressed concern about its potential impact on Kavanaugh’s nomination. Soon after, Senate Republicans issued renewed calls to accelerate the timing of a committee vote.

Kavanaugh has already disqualified himself by lying to Congress, and one very brave woman has come forward to tell her story of Kavanaugh attempting to rape her in high school.  Under such circumstances, a person with ANY sense of propriety, ethics or common sense would, upon seeing a second woman come forward, realize that the Kavanaugh nomination must come to an immediate end.

But the Senate Republicans saw this, and immediately sought to 'accelerate the timing of a committee vote' --- as if confirming him would somehow change the fact that he's clearly a serial sexual predator.

It's not just Trump; it's the whole Republican party.  They are, without exception, rotten to the core.
