The fact that the media responded to the nomination of a Supreme Court justice by obsessively covering Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Russia and NATO proves that Trump has checkmated them with Brett Kavanaugh.
Liberals know they can't stop Kavanaugh's confirmation, so they'd just as soon not hear any news about it at all. Please cheer us up with stories about Paul Manafort's solitary confinement!
But there was one very peculiar reaction to the nomination. The nut wing of the Democratic Party instantly denounced Kavanaugh by claiming that his elevation to the high court would threaten all sorts of "rights."
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., tweeted: "Our next justice should be a champion for protecting & advancing rights, not rolling them back -- but Kavanaugh has a long history of demonstrating hostility toward defending the rights of everyday Americans."
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., tweeted: "If Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed to the Supreme Court it will have a profoundly negative effect on workers' rights, women's rights and voting rights for decades to come. We must do everything we can to stop this nomination."
If only these guys could get themselves elected to some sort of legislative body, they could pass laws protecting these rights!
Wait, I'm sorry. These are elected United States senators. Of all people, why are they carrying on about "rights"? If senators can't protect these alleged "rights," it can only be because most Americans do not agree that they should be "rights."

What a girl. When she’s on, she’s ON!
Right on, Ann! I have to remember that line.
She can be precious!!! LOL
...or those rights are part of the Constitution and changing them requires a lengthy process and essentially 2/3 of Americans' representatives to go along.
Indeed, they know that through liberal-packed courts has been where they've been able to advance their agenda far more effectively than through the legislatures. Stroke of one bought-and-paid-for judge's pen, case law precedent, (often) effective throughout the land.
On occasion, even erstwhile Conservative SCOTUS Chief Justices (e.g., Robets) have acquiesced to their desires (e.g., rewriting even lawmakers' intent; think Obamacare).
These senators know they're just pawns in a larger game, even if they're a Reid or McLame.
Knocks this one out of the park.
She got this one right.
>>So when you hear liberals carrying on about all the “rights” threatened by Kavanaugh, remember that by “rights,” they mean “policy ideas so unpopular that we can’t pass a law creating such rights.”
No, what they mean is POWER.
Hasn't Fat Boy Cory got a woman to beat up somewhere?
Yeah - but she DID misspell "punks" as "senators"...
These are elected United States senators
“No, what they mean is POWER.”
Indeed, why do you think Rosenstein is so interested in the 100+ prosecutors to “Help” go over Kavanaugh’s federal papers.
I cannot believe the deputy AG, and the endless cabal of corrupt DOJ and FBI traitors are still employed and running around flapping there gums.
We need some rope, a lamp post and about a month to administer a just outcome.
That includes sending Sessions back to AL in disgrace.
Ann continues to have some really great lines, especially when she’s on-target.

Very good article, Ann. Very Very good...
