Blue State Blues: Kavanaugh Circus Is a Preview of Democrats’ Return to Power
Breitbart ^ | 21 Sep 2018 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 09/21/2018 11:36:30 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

If you like what you’ve seen Democrats do in the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, you’re going to love what they do if they win the 2018 midterm elections. They began by trying to prevent the hearings from taking place at all, interrupting repeatedly and demanding votes on frivolous points of order.

Then they praised the left-wing radical “protesters” who disrupted proceedings.

Then they broke the rules and released confidential information.

Now, they want Kavanaugh to face a Kafkaesque show trial.

The Democrats are doing their worst because a Supreme Court seat is at stake, and their base will accept nothing less. Yet they will do the same next year, if voters give them a chance to govern again.

They intend on turning the House — or the Senate — into a Star Chamber that could make the McCarthy hearings look like a model of procedural fairness.

They are not interested in oversight, any more than they want to hear from Christine Blasey Ford. They want to turn oversight into “overthrow.”

McClatchy briefly sketched Democrats’ plans Thursday:

Democrats want to examine President Donald Trump’s tax returns. There’s talk of launching an independent commission into his administration’s handling of the hurricane that wracked Puerto Rico. Progressive activists are ready to start impeachment proceedings.

Get ready. If Democrats take control of a chamber in the November election, expect a flood of hearings, investigations, probes and special commissions starting in January.

Last month, a spreadsheet emerged that listed 100 investigations that Republicans believe Democrats will launch the moment Nancy Pelosi seizes the speaker’s gavel. Many of them are redundant, or ridiculous, aimed only at embarrassing the president and preventing Congress from achieving anything more on his watch.

It is a commercial for “don’t let lunatics get hold of your government”.

This is why Trump should ignore everything and put him on the court ASAP. A reliable conservative majority is vital. An opportunity like this will not come again, not for a long long time.

They are making such a big thing out of his tax returns and it would be hysterical if they all turned out to show he paid more than Bloomberg or Soros.

My understanding is Senator Hirono will introduce legislation requiring gender reassignment for all males.

Patriots are reminded that low-information ordinary voters “own” the Kavanaugh Circus through the ill-conceived 17th Amendment. Low-information voters elect senators who evidently don’t know the Constitution any better than the voters do.

The 17th Amendment needs to be repealed.

The 16th Amendment can disappear too.

"But there are also millions of American men — and women — who are outraged by what is happening to Kavanaugh. It is up to them to stop this liberal totalitarianism from taking over our country."

Amen. Until it is the nation will continue to be held hostage by its 100 biggest egomaniacs.

It'll be worse than this - if democrats get in power they'll also destroy the economy, raise taxes, and destroy medicare by giving it to all their pet victim groups.

I’d much rather:

1) Adhere/enforce A1S8 (esp. Fed. Reserve)
2) Adhere/enforce 9th/10th

IMO, these codgers wouldn’t spend so much time attempting to keep power/control when there’s NO power to be had (nor Treasury to plunder).

"a long long time" could be forever. These people despise everything traditionally American!

They have now morphed to embrace the tactics that led to totalitarian regimes in Russia & Germany. They will not tolerate dissent from their compulsion driven agenda.

Compassion Or Compulsion?

Just reflect on the ugly scenes now seen almost daily, as the demonstrators strut their hatred of our cultural heritage. They would have been inconceivable, even a few years back!

I agree 100%.

Crook codgers are doing nothing more than following the money through unconstitutional federal taxes imo.

Patriots need to fire as many corrupt career lawmakers as they can in 2018 midterm elections, replacing them with state sovereignty-respecting, Trump supporting-patriot lawmakers who will promote Trump’s vision for MAGA.

The Federalist #60 to 63 explain the why of a senate of the states.

Expecting “better” men/women to restore free government is like changing out the driver of a car on cinder-blocks.
