A Woman Who Wants Women To Be Stupid

Lawyer Craig Silverman of Denver IS NOT any alt-right hardline conservative; he is a political moderate. He has a talk show on KNUS-AM, a conservative radio station which allows diversity of opinion within its ranks. But he doesn't have to be a hardline conservative to understand bedrock legal principles like burden of proof.

Too bad not everyone he encounters is willing to admit that those legal principles EVEN EXIST.

On Saturday, Mr. Silverman interviewed a leftist named Lisa Calderon on the subject of Bret Kavanaugh. It didn't take long for Ms. Calderon to demonstrate that, in her mind, Judge Kavanaugh IS guilty solely because SHE WANTS HIM TO BE GUILTY.

Every time Silverman tried to clarify the need for evidence, Calderon instantly took refuge in purely emotional generalizations about "victims needing to be heard." The way she invoked "victims" made it obvious that she was choosing to believe that Christine Ford was ALREADY proven to be telling the truth. Without even acknowledging the CONCEPT of needing evidence, Calderon pontificated about women being treated as property, and about how horrid it was for "a male viewpoint" to be adopted in legal cases.

In short, because women COLLECTIVELY have suffered injustice, this fact by itself is fully suffiicient to "prove" that ONE PARTICULAR MAN, Bret Kavanaugh, IS guilty of three particular acts of sexual assault. Calderon went on to insist that women almost never make false accusations-- on which basis she justified her assertion that automatically believing any woman who accuses any man of anything is THE PROPER STARTING POINT, and to Hell with presumption of innocence for any MALE defendant. But Silverman replied that, in his law career, he has witnessed plenty of instances of women lying under oath.

Calderon is doing no service to her fellow females by dogmatically declaring (1) that operating entirely on blind emotion IS "the female viewpoint," and (2) that this intentional illogic SHOULD BE held as overruling the rule of law. But of course, she DOESN'T really care about the long-term well-being of her fellow females. What she cares about is encouraging women to be irrational, as a tactic to destroy that precious rule of law, so that the hard left can gain more POWER, which is all that the hard left really cares about.

To this end, Calderon was employing classic circular reasoning, as follows:

>> We know that Bret Kavanaugh is guilty, because we have the testimony of a victim, which must ALWAYS be believed.

>> We know that Christine Ford and the other accusers are victims, because THEY SAY they are.

>> We can accept the word of the accusers in this, because we know that Kavanaugh is guilty.

>> And we know that Kavanaugh is guilty, because......

Et circular cetera.
