7 Reactions to the Kavanaugh Sexual Misconduct Allegations

The Federalist's David Marcus: Confirm him

Among many conservatives, the prevailing belief about what is happening is that this is a desperate attempt to shut down a Supreme Court nomination and derail a qualified candidate at any cost.

In a Monday Federalist column, correspondent David Marcus spoke to what the Senate should do.

"The answer is pretty simple: He should be confirmed. For whatever reason, Feinstein decided that these allegations should remain under wraps even from other Democrats during the hearing process. That was the time Kavanaugh and witnesses could have been confronted by these allegations. But no, Feinstein waited, and threw this grenade into the final moments of his nomination," he wrote.

Marcus also believes the evidence is shoddy.

"Imagine yourself accused by a woman of assaulting her 35 years ago. You would naturally say, 'When? Where?' If she said 'I don't remember that, I just remember you groping me,' how would you respond? Wouldn't you want specifics? If her memory so clashed with yours, wouldn't you want some evidence? Well, the evidence is lacking.

"Republicans in the Senate have to hold fast here. Don't surrender to this. Confirm a good man and good jurist to our highest court. If Democrats thought these claims were viable, they would have brought them up during the confirmation hearings. They don't and they didn't. Confirm Kavanaugh and let the Democrats prove it was a mistake."
