The last-minute attempt to derail Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation as the next Supreme Court justice has just hit a serious snag.
Facing damaging but almost completely unsubstantiated claims that he acted improperly with a girl back when he was a teenager, the conservative nominee has dug into his personal archives to defend himself.
Up until now, the vague accusations made by Christine Blasey Ford had only resulted in a "he said, she said" stalemate. Liberals insisted that Blasey Ford's story of a bad encounter at a drunken party be believed, while conservatives have pointed out that the nearly 40-year-old claim is impossible to verify.
Finally, Kavanaugh has presented tangible evidence that the accusation doesn't hold up.
On Sunday,
The New York Times reported that the judge has found old calendars from the period when the unproven groping allegedly took place - and
they appear to support his claim that the incident didn't happen.
"Kavanaugh has calendars from the summer of 1982 that he plans to hand over to the Senate Judiciary Committee that
do not show a party consistent with the description of his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford," explained
The Times.
"The calendar pages from June, July and August 1982, which were examined by
The New York Times, show that Judge
Kavanaugh was out of town much of the summer at the beach or away with his parents," the newspaper continued.
"When he was at home, the calendars list his basketball games, movie outings, football workouts and college interviews.
A few parties are mentioned but include names of friends other than those identified by Dr. Blasey."
