By now, we are all familiar with the basic allegation that Christine Blasey Ford was sexually assaulted by Judge Brett Kavanaugh at a party during their high school years in the early 1980s.

There is no need to reiterate the charges, nor to go on at length about the complete lack of corroborating evidence put forth so far. One is only inclined to note, as The Weekly Standard has, that even the American Civil Liberties Union has joined the critics of Kavanaugh in tossing aside a presumption of innocence which it has in recent times extended even to Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members, terrorists, known criminals, and pedophiles.
