I have been keeping an eye on the Judge Kavanaugh’s hearing, and all the news coverage leading up to it. I know the fear is that he will overturn Roe v Wade, or at least be the 5th vote to overturn it. And then when you ask other people, the world will come to an end when he is put on the Supreme Court.
Amid the protests, and all the other crazy stuff that was happening in the hearing, I noticed that the judge had brought his kids. I have no issue with that, and I think if I were in his shoes, I would have done the same thing.
What is going through those kid’s minds as people protest their father? When people say that their dad is going to take away rights, and help cause women’s deaths, or when they claim that he is nothing but a tool for big money, what goes through their minds? The judge and his wife must have prepped his kids for what might happen; That people were going to say mean and hateful things about their father.
But still, to be a kid and sit there and have people insult your father must be a weird and hard thing to hear. How does a kid begin to process that?
You can still protest against someone, even if they have children. I’m not advocating that the judge gets a pass because his kids are around.
Just an observation and thought.
