There are some really smart people who attend college, and these are the people you want to get to know. They seem to know everything. They make A’s in Calculus, and the English professor is intimidated by their knowledge of English poets.
They can seem a little strange since their minds are working on a much different level, yet I found it was always helpful to talk with them prior to taking a hard test. They seemed to have the ability to identify the questions the professor would ask.
"He will ask about Lord Byron, at least three questions, and that math test you are about to have will probably have some questions on the quadratic equation. I’d learn to use that equation to solve problems," he would offer.
I was in a chemistry class once, and the professor had prepared a test. I had a general idea what would be on the test, so I had memorized all of the chemical formulas we had covered and the laws governing them. Next to me was a very smart, gifted A student. About 15 minutes into the test, I saw him whip out his slide rule and begin feverishly making calculations. This went on for several minutes. After a while, I asked myself, "Is Melvin as smart as I thought he was?"
We finished the test and the next time the class met, the professor handed out the papers. Melvin had made a 99. I had roared in with a comfortable 85. After class, I asked Melvin what all that commotion was with the slide rule. His answer proved that he was a certified genius. "I had forgotten the formula. I had to derive it the way the man who discovered it did."
Brett Kavanaugh is one of those guys. Not only is he good at the law, but I’ll bet you a dollar to a donut that he probably would be very good at quantum physics. He’s just smart. His brain absorbs complex theories that most of us don’t understand and don’t care that we don’t understand.
Kavanaugh, how can I be delicate, is a nerd. When most of the young men in his college classes were out chasing girls and drinking beer, he was studying. He was absorbing knowledge at a fast clip, and his curiosity knew no bounds. He coaches girls softball. Apparently, he is a very good coach even though he never played sports. If you look into his library, you will probably find a book titled Softball for Dummies, and yes, he has memorized every word. He knows how to teach a batter how to hit, how to run the bases, and how to field the softball - all from his book.
During his confirmation hearing, one could easily see that he was smarter than the Senators. He quoted cases from the top of his head like he was reading them out of a law book. He never got flustered by a stupid question from Diane Feinstein or Cory Booker. He answered all of the questions with dignity and knowledge. What more is needed in a Supreme Court justice?
But as a nerd, and I use that term affectionately, he was unprepared for what the "swamp" had yet to deliver. Feinsteinsa ndbagged a letter from person claiming that Kavanaugh sexually attacked her during a high school party. That was 35 years ago. The Judge says that he was never at the party and that this so-called attack never happened. Dr. Christine Ford says that it happened although she can’t remember where it happened. . Ford supports liberal causes, hates Donald Trump, participates in all kinds of left-wing rallies, and supports, you guessed it, abortion.
Kavanaugh is a great human being with an uncommon mind. He should be confirmed to the Supreme Court by an overwhelming majority. The Democrats should be ashamed of the treachery they have unleashed upon this good man.
