Principles and Policies Podcast For Saturday 9/22/2018- Clarence Thomas Redux; The Attempt To Torpedo Brett Kavanaugh

Principles and Policies Podcast For Saturday 9/22/2018- Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis discuss the attempts to assassinate the character of Brett Kavanaugh with a salacious accusation by a purported victim who has no clear recollection of any of the details of the events with no corroborating witnesses or evidence. We point out that this is the same tactic (different circumstances) used against Clarence Thomas by Senate Democrats who presented a long-time Thomas hanger-on by the name of Anita Hill. Hill, by many accounts, committed perjury in her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. We suspect a similar performance.

We finish with a discussion of the renewed effort to get an Article V convention called by conservatives which will be under the control of liberals and why that is the case.
