Demanding More

Brilliant, ethical, conservative Senator Mike Lee wrote this piece on Facebook about how to go forward after the very polarizing Kavenaugh debacle: "
It’s time to demand more. It’s time to demand a process that is respectful of human beings, both the accusers and the accused in the world. One that respects this institution and allows us to respect each other.
We’ve got a choice to make. A choice between federalism, that is about restoring the balance of power between different actors in our system of government, or contention and ultimately violence on the other.
I choose the peaceful way, I choose the constitutional way. I believe that document was written in such a way as to protect our liberty, to respect our divergent interest, and to allow the American people to flourish and prosper because not every decision would have to be made by the same people and the government would remain accountable to the governed."

May we return to loyal opposition, and peaceful agreeing to disagree. May we move away from McCarthyite accusations and false rape accusations against any male, disregard his innocence until proven guilty, his right to not be smeared and slimed, his right to due process.
