Senate Dems have settled on the ugliest means available, even by the standards of the body that added the verb “Borking” to our political vocabulary. The question is: Why have Republican high-court nominations brought out the worst from the left, going back to the Ronald Reagan era?
The short answer is that liberals fear their major cultural victories of the past half-century are democratically illegitimate. Not a single one was won at the ballot box, going back to the Supreme Court’s 1965 Griswold decision, which recognized a constitutional right to contraceptives. From abortion to gay marriage, plus a host of less titillating issues, modern liberalism has lived by the Court. And liberals fear their cause will die by the Court.
Unless, that is, they block conservative encroachments into the judiciary by all means necessary. Hence, Borking and Clarence Thomas-ing. And hence, too, the naked slandering of Mitt Romney in the course of the 2012 presidential campaign, to forestall his shifting the Court to the right.

Add my prayer to yours.
If they can’t then they’ll just get more and more of it. This needs to stop here and now.
They seem to think they can bend the law and even make them on the fly. They’re acting like 3rd graders and they’re so obviously obstructing. Anyone who falls for their garbage is just stupid.

Grassley has played this well and the Democrats know it.
I believe Feinstein never wanted this info public b/c she knows the accuser is nuts and willmake an ass out of herself.
Black-robes writing law is illegal, but neither the federal courts nor the gutless congress seems to understand that. We need to elect originalists to the US Congress who will impeach and remove these black-robe tyrants.
“liberal totalitarianism”
Totalitarianism. Full stop. It doesn’t need a modifier.
A worthy read!
Since apparently they can’t win elections, it’s all they have left.
