Kavanaugh denied allegations of sexual misconduct in forceful terms during an interview on Fox News on Monday night. But while Thomas in 1991 memorably denounced the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee and its staff for digging up "sleaze" and "dirt" on him in what he called a "high-tech lynching for uppity blacks," Kavanaugh declined to speculate on whether the attacks on him are politically motivated or even to acknowledge repeated questions about the motives of those promoting the accusations.
The English Catholic writer Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) saw all attacks on the family as attacks also on civilization, writes Dale Ahlquist in Crisis Magazine.
Among these attacks, he said, are divorce, contraception, and homosexuality.
