I am glad I never had media focusing on my Bride and I riding herd on our kids for an outing. The more kids the more organization needed, and, doubtless, the more opportunities for tempers to fray. Barrett talks about her kids:
Amy Barrett introduces family 9/6/2017 hearing.
– 7 children
– "Vivian 13, our miracle, was born in Haiti, 14 months old weighed 11 pounds"
– "John Peter born in Haiti joined family 2010 after devastating earthquake
– "Benjamin 5 has special needs"— Howard Mortman (@HowardMortman) September 25, 2020
I agree the picture appears to set up to be politically correct, i.e, women rule.
If that’s an indicator of what’s up, the next several months will be hard on them whichever way it goes. I wonder if the Kavanaughs still have to have a security detail.
You know what’s next: a smear campaign contending she and her husband committed crimes in adopting their children.
Out of the woodwork: someone of the James Roche / Craig Maizin type alleging something gross-to-criminal.

Since the kids are now of age to understand (and talk back to the press), making such allegations could backfire in a very big way.
Oh, yes. They have to be more careful with her than they were with B.K. The social ideology of the left is such that men like BK are regarded as appropriate objects of contempt and derision at all times and they show no restraint about it. You savage this woman, it’s net losses among the sort of swing voters who bite their fingernails over people being ‘divisive’. Still, being a married mother of five provided no immunity for Sarah Palin.

It’s a four hour flight to DC. This must have been this morning.
