This is to commemmorate that right now Terry Gross is interviewing
Christine Blasey-Ford over the events and the testimony about the events connecting her high school self and the high school self that was Brett Kavanaugh.

It's four years since the testimony and much much longer since the events that triggered all else. I just want to say for the nth time what a valuable resource Terry Gross and her team have been through the years. The existing interview is not hard to listen to, but with the combination of thoroughness and humanity that provides, it is INTERESTING.

Terry Gross asks the best questions of any interviewer out there. I'll listen to that (it plays on my local NPR station at 7pm CDT). Blasey-Ford has been on several interview programs lately, to promote her book One Way Back: A Memoir.

She was asked if she had spoken to Anita Hill, and they met a year or two ago at a conference, where she asked Hill how long it took to get over it. Hill quipped that 25 years was a good start.

At the risk of being flayed, drawn, and quartered, I would like to point out that Brett Kavanaugh has not been a total conservative partisan in his position of Associate Justice, and neither has Amy Coney Barrett. Both are conservative, but both are competent jurists.

I have noticed that the Trmpette breed of supremes has been not evil incarnate, but seems to be subject to judicial law and custom. I have a favorite bete-noir in the voice of Dobbs, Justice Alito (not a Supreme Trmpette), who as far as I can tell introduced no legal arguments on a superior level to those of Roe V Wade, rather , he assembled his own personal interpretations on a similar though different background and got others to sign off on it. I rather think his legal arguments were lower level than Roe V. Wade because the late Justice Ginsburg had mentioned in interviews that there were other arguments that could have been used to protect abortions through the medical practices of the U.S. military once it included women at all levels.
