So ...

After a 36-year old, hazy accusation of a high school encounter that had no corroboration and no evidence to support it ...

After the single most reprehensible political attack I have witnessing my lifetime ...

After other allegations that were so ridiculous and unsubstantiated that even the New York Times couldn't bend it's very flexible journalistic standards to publish them ...

After "victims" either changed their stories or recanted their original accusations ...

After a disgusting attempt to ruin a man's life and reputation by Democrats because they differ on a respected Judge's ideology ...

And now, after a FBI supplemental investigation that found NOTHING of import followed by laughably predictable Democrat whining that it wasn't thorough enough, long enough or fair enough ...

we near then end of this sordid and shameful drama.

Daniel Henninger comments:

Senate hearings have become dogfights attended by mobs. Demonstrators routinely throw themselves on the floor in front of senators’ offices. The Jeff Flake entrapment after the Judiciary Committee vote was a low point in modern Senate history, with the senator cornered inside an elevator by a woman shrieking “Look at me!” for inevitable capture by a video.

By now in the Kavanaugh saga, with all the moral intimidation, gender-baiting and bad faith thrown at their side, you would think each of the 51 Republican Senators would vote to confirm out of simple self-respect. But self-respect has become a hard thing to maintain under the weight of modern media, so people just bend.

The Kavanaugh confirmation was always going to be a big political moment, but no one could have predicted it would expand across four weeks into one of the most defining political events in a generation.

Before this began, the conventional wisdom was correct that the midterm elections would be a referendum on He Who Cannot Be Avoided—President Trump. After lying low through most of the hearings, Mr. Trump surfaced Tuesday evening in Mississippi with a diatribe against Christine Ford’s variable memory.

I’m not sure another Trump cannonball matters at this point. The Kavanaugh confirmation, watched by millions, has put in play considerations bigger than Donald Trump or Brett Kavanaugh.

Indeed it has. Is America to become a place in which allegations are all that matter, particlarly if you're a person with the wrong (i.e., conservative) ideology? Will it become a place, as Democrat Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) said where the accused must prove themselves innocent or maybe a place where men should, as Democrat Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) said, just "shut up" in the wake of outrageous and unsubstantiated sexual allegations? Or maybe it should be a place where every woman MUST be believed—sort of like the woman who accused Duke University lacrosse players of rape, was proved to be a liar and is now in jail? And if you're a leftist and are faced with another viewpoint, it's okay to shout that person down or ban them from speaking or threaten physical violence. Or maybe it will become a place where you're accosted in a restaurant because of your political views or doxxed by some lunatic activist. It appears that many Democrats and their trained hamsters in the media want us to go to that dark, dark place where mob rule trumps the rule of law, where the thought police tell us that an accuser cannot be questioned, and where only one ideology is acceptable.

The editors of the Wall Street Journal take a broader view:

The media sometimes profess to be puzzled that more than 80% of Republicans across the country tell pollsters they support Mr. Trump despite his personal flaws. The Never Conservatives are the reason, and the assault on Judge Kavanaugh is the latest showcase of their methods. Republicans have figured out that if the left can willfully, even gleefully, destroy a man as distinguished as Brett Kavanaugh, they can and will do it to any conservative who threatens their grip on power.

Republicans are well aware of Mr. Trump’s excesses and falsehoods. But they have also come to understand that the resistance to him isn’t rooted in principle or some august call to superior character. They know Democrats nominated Hillary Clinton in 2016 despite her history of deceit [and corruption and incompetence]. Voters know this is about the left’s will to power by any means necessary.

Republicans across America can see, and certainly their Senators voting on Judge Kavanaugh should realize, that the left hates them as much or more than they loathe Mr. Trump. Conservatives understand that, for the American left, they are all deplorables now.

Every Democrat should be ashamed of the actions and behavior of their Senators during the past weeks—very ashamed. They should also be ashamed that not a single nationally-recognized Democratic politician voiced concern about the tactics employed to destroy Kavanaugh. Every American should remember this disgusting display of rabid partisanship in which the politics of personal destruction ruled the day. And hopefully, every American should vote accordingly in November.
