Yesterday President Trump made it very clear he has had enough of the Democrat Party and
their games.
Of course, the president was referring to the Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination which
thanks to the Democrat Party, their lapdog mainstream media and their Hollywood celebrities
it has now turned into a circus.
The Republicans have bent over backward to give Christine Blasey Ford her day in court,
but all she has done is put up roadblocks and excuses as to why she can not come in
and testify.
First, it was that she's afraid of airplanes although she vacationed in Hawaii.
Then it was that she does not want men asking her questions.
And now she is backing out of testifying on Thursday because the GOP is having a sex crime
prosecutor question both her and Kavanaugh.
For some reason, she finds this offensive.
Here is more via Legal Insurrection:
Democrats brought protesters into the hearing room to scream at Kavanaugh.
His childrten had to be escorted out of the room.
Democrat Senators were unseemly in how they conducted themselves.
Senator Kamala Harris circulated a dishonestly edited video of Kavanaugh's testimony as
to contraceptives.
Senator Cory Booker performed for the cameras, declaring himself to be Spartacus.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse talked over Kavanaugh and then trotted out large posters portraying
the "dark money" backing Kavanaugh's nomination.
Senator Patrick Leahy falsely suggested Kavanaugh perjured himself at his 2006 confirmation
hearing, and again at these hearings.
That false claim of perjury was amplified throughout anti-Trump social media.
The confirmation hearings were a low point in a low political environment.
And those were the good ol' days compared to what has happened since then.
Senator Dianne Feinstein knew that a woman had sent a letter claiming the Kavanaugh assaulted
her in high school, but Feinstein said nothing.
Not during the hearings, not during her consultations with fellow Senators, not during her private
interview with Kavanaugh.
Instead, after the confirmation hearings were closed and a committee vote ready, it was
conveniently leaked to The Intercept and Buzzfeed that the letter existed, and that Feinstein
had forwarded it to the FBI.
Days later the accuser was revealed in a Washington Post interview and story to be Christine Blasey
Ford.
In the subsequent week, the personal attacks on Kavanaugh have escalated.
He is being portrayed regularly as a rapist and sexual predator, students at Harvard (where
he teaches a winter course) and professors at his alma mater Yale Law School have demanded
investigations into his relationship with the school.
Sheldon Whitehouse has promised congressional investigations if Democrats regain control
of either house of Congress, and others are promising attempts to impeach Kavanaugh either
from his present Appeals Court position or his Supreme Court position.
In other words, Democrats have declared total war on Brett Kavanaugh the person.
Ford has repeatedly delayed her testimony and has assembled a team of advisors who are
veterans of wars against prior Republican nominees and the Trump administration.
It was a strategy to buy more days in which to ramp up the attacks on Kavanaugh, to find
new claims to try to derail the nomination.
Stormy Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti is claiming there will be more claims coming.
As of this writing it appears Ford and Kavanaugh will testify on Thursday, September 27, though
the format is not yet clear.
That means a committee vote probably will not be had until the following Monday, and
a Senate floor vote until later that week.
There is almost no possibility that Kavanaugh would be confirmed in time to sit with the
other Justices at the first oral argument day of the term on October 1.
His absence, even if for a short time, will be a public relations victory for the Resistance.
This is what Democrat total war looks like.
Democrats can get away with it because of a supportive media, and a small number of
weak links in the Republican majority in the Senate.
Chuck Grassley and Mitch McConnell do not have to worry about Democrats half as much
as they have to worry about Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Jeff Flake, and to a lesser
extent, Bob Corker.
The total war on Kavanaugh is why so many Trump voters voters wanted someone who would
fight, as Jonathan Tobin noted at National Review, Has the Kavanaugh Battle Vindicated
Trump Voters?
The willingness of the Democrats and their mainstream-media allies to use a solitary,
unsubstantiated, 36-year-old allegation to turn Judge Brett Kavanaugh into a Me Too villain
whose guilt of a heinous crime is to be assumed despite the lack of proof or a semblance of
due process has shocked his friends and
