From here and there.....

1. President Trump Succeeds in Getting His Nominee Through.

    Judge Brett Kavanaugh, whose Supreme Court hearings had made rumblings in the Senate and
    paved way for heated arguments all across the US, is headed for final confirmation. While errant
    sexual behaviour, on the part of an individual, can never be accepted at any cost I've an important
    question related to the issue. What should be the vintage of the waywardness that needs to be
    considered? Let me make it clearer.

    Kavanaugh is accused of sexual indiscretion during his teen years. Four ladies have, so far, come
    up with allegations. The senate confirmation hearings, therefore, waited a week for the FBI to
    come up with a quick investigation of the charges. Consequently, he has been cleared and is poised
    for confirmation.

    My doubts are the following:-

        (a) Would it be possible to lay down an acceptable vintage of charges? I mean, a person could
              have made mistakes in his younger age due to the prevailing circumstances and has turned a
              new leaf and has no further indiscretion against his name as he matured gracefully.
        (b) And if it's ascertained beyond doubt that there has been no quirk of character in him, should
              he be penalised.
        (c) Of course, a flaw in character does not have limits in vintage!

     It needs to be seen as to how the Republican Party fares in the midterm elections rolling out in
     November. It's very clear that the white Americans are solidly behind their President and will
     ensure his party's win!

2. The Voices Against the Order Regarding Women's Entry in Sabarimala Rise.

    The recent Supreme Court judgement clearing women's entry into Sabarimala has found stiff
    opposition in Kerala and in most cases, it's the women who've been spearheading the movement.
    The chief minister had, earlier, taken a stand that his government would implement the court
    order but he has been forced to eat the humble pie as the agitations have increased in intensity. It
    was his party that had quickly climbed down from the earlier stand and has said that it will ask the
    government to talk with all the stakeholders! The government will talk to the royals and priests to
    defuse the situation.

    Only hope that politics is not played!


Tailpiece.

The poll bugle has been sounded. Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram are headed for polls in November and the results will be announced on 11 Dec. Falsehoods, half truths, innuendos are gonna be the mainstay in the coming days.
