This Confirmation Process Has Become a National Disgrace

“The face that they see before them is the face of the attacker. The face of innocence has become the face of guilt. That’s the frightening part — the truly horrifying idea that our memories can be changed, inextricably altered, and that what we think we know, what we believe with all our hearts, is not necessarily the truth.”

— Elizabeth Loftus’s book Witness for the Defense: The Accused, the Eyewitness and the Expert Who Puts Memory on Trial

The confirmation process of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court “has become a national disgrace,” as the embattled nominee put it during a tense day on Capitol Hill last week. The Democrats will stop at nothing to delay his confirmation until after the midterm elections just over a month away. They will go to any lengths to destroy this man’s reputation. They will lob any and all accusations they can to see what sticks. And they believe a woman who is 100 percent certain of something that happened almost four decades ago and who has zero evidence or corroboration of this serious accusation.

I’m ashamed to “identify” as an American.

The Republican “leadership” allowed this disgrace to take place.

Grassley and McConnell need to immediately resign for their totally worthless and ineffective leadership.

Seems like a racist article. Why mention all white males? He who mentions race first is the racist.

Consider that Kavaunagh narrowly gets confirmed and in the not too distant future Ruth Bader Ginsberg drops dead or becomes incapacitated and Trump has the opportunity to make another SCOTUS nomination. Given the prospect of a 6-3 conservative majority on the Court what will the leftists do then? The smear campaign against Kavanaugh didn’t work so what could we expect? I predict it will be total anarchy with violent protests, mobs looting and burning, political assassinations, bombing of federal buildings and overt terrorism. The left has failed by every other means so the only avenue left is open insurrection and a violent overthrow of the government. This will be our next civil war.

In the scenario you describe, Liberals will ALREADY be incensed about a Trump second term They will have to go a very long way to outdo the extreme level of self-destructive, pathological hysterics they are displaying right now.

As I posted elsewhere, conservatives are their own worst enemy.

They are like Charlie Brown, whose nemesis is not Lucy, but himself. He is in search of the opportunity to kick footballs that will be pulled away at the last minute. If Lucy were not there, he would find someone else to hold the football who would pull it away.

Run something? They are very comfortable being mildly unsuccessful while getting their cut of the take. Trouble is they were trying to move from mildly unsuccessful to total, utter, catastrophic failures, lulled in by the siren song of leftist calls for "civility."

To the party of The Beast, this is irrelevant. The Demonrat party has NO SHAME. They are the party of “Gay Pride”, remember. They are PROUD of their sin. Their behavior cannot be altered by trying to shame them, saying “national disgrace.” They think WE are the “national disgrace”. We are going to have to get our wits together and realize we are not under debate-club rules anymore. The Demonrats are playing for all the marbles — TOTALITARIANISM — and we better fight back, or we are going to LOSE everything.

We all know it but need to repeat it, the National Democrat party dragged it to this point. Disgusting standard they are setting.

Rat hit-men assassinated Scalia. My fear is that they get to PDJT before the Buzzard croaks. Whatever the scenario, it is as you say, possible prelude to civil conflict.
