After the torture of Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas, who were beset by uncorroborated accusations, Republicans may have at last caught a break. This comes in the form of the book Search And Destroy by Ryan Lovelace, a second readable book on the Kavanaugh hearings.

Lovelace does a nice job of revealing not just the attacks but also the mindset behind them, and the worldview from which they all spring. This comes from a tape of a talk given early this year by Debra Katz, Christine Blasey Ford’s lawyer, at a meeting of feminists, where she knew she was speaking to friends.
