That’s funny. For a teenage boy that would be a problem. I envision callout bubbles over his head with “big head” and “little head” arguing.

I read this travesty as an admission they know they’ll lose in November - so they have nothing to lose. They can be as pathetic and outrageous as they want...

...and no, I’m not complacent.

Barrett is a much better pick to replace Darth Bader Ginsburg. For one thing, she had almost no appellate court track record when Kennedy retired (she had only been on the court since November 2017, I believe). More importantly, the fight over a nominee who will represent such a major shift in the SC will be much more challenging ... and the political optics of the Democrats trying to destroy Barrett would be awful.

I still believe that Democrats figured they had to make their stand here because they have to defend 23 Senate seats in the mid-term election. The expectation going in was at least a five seat gain for Republicans.

If the Republican gain happens, proportional committee assignments would reduce Democrat representation by several seats, perhaps going from the current 10R-9D to 12R-7D or better.

Democrats would have a much harder time grandstanding with such smaller representation. Republicans would dominate the hearings by nearly 2:1.

This is why they are making their last stand here and now.

There need to be some serious changes in how the Judiciary committee (and others, as well) operate. If citizens get a ticket to be admitted, it has to have the signature of a committee member for that specific ticket, and it should be worn as a badge at all times in the hearing. You get arrested, the member who gave you the ticket is publicly censured. Also, consider a soundproof barrier. More importantly, character issues must be brought out during the vetting that precedes the hearing. Three, if you're not somewhat familiar with the law, you should not sit on the Judiciary committee. Sen. Hirono knows so little about law, that she was unable to understand illegal immigration is violation of the law. Kamala Harris, “Spartacus” Booker and Dianne Feinstein all have legal issues that should have kept them out of the senate or at least out of the Judiciary committee.

The best upside is that down deep . . . in secret . . . Kavanaugh now hates their guts.

“Kavanaugh now hates their guts.”

Oh, you’re right. And he’ll hate their guts “for life” — the exact length of time he’ll be on SCOTUS. All that power combined with a good memory. It could be a beautiful thing.

There is no Earthly human being who could ever forgive or forget this despicable offense which will change his entire life and that of his family. This will burn in his heart, his wife and children’s hearts and it will never, ever subside.

You are right- - for his entire life.

RUSH: Okay, folks. I want to share some things with you that may be fake news, but if they’re not fake, I want to be on record as having had them for you. There’s a Twitter thread out there. I have no idea the veracity because, as you know, I do not “twit.” But this particular thread claims that the reason that Dianne Feinstein was reluctant to go public with Christine Blasey Ford’s letter is because she received a similar letter from the woman about Judge Gorsuch. No idea whether this is fake news or true.

But given who we’re talking about here, I can believe that it would be true, ‘cause I think we’re dealing with genuinely disturbed, emotionally depraved, poisoned-with-hatred lunatics. I have no idea if it’s true. There’s another bit of news going around that has a little bit more credibility but still it doesn’t pass the “definitely happened” test. It is that Peter Strzok Smirk and Lisa Page were caught destroying evidence on their final days at the FBI. Neither two bits of news can be confirmed. But let me tell you something.

The New York Times and the Washington Post and USA Today and all the rest of them are publishing fake news and lies every damn day without one bit of concern whether they’re true or not, and half of them they didn’t even bother to correct. And it’s not something normally that I get into. But these two things have the tinge of believability to them, and I just want to get them out there in case it eventuates that they’re actually true. I can’t confirm either one.

But you know, I’m sick and tired of being hampered here. These people get to lie and distort and do whatever they want under the banner of premier journalism each and every day, making up sources, making up quotes, writing such things as, “President Trump, without evidence, today claimed” blah, blah. But they never say, “Christine Blasey Ford, without evidence, claimed today that Brett Kavanaugh pinned her down in a high school room in a house and so forth 42 years ago when they both were...” Who knows.

They are shameless. They have no ethics and no conscience. They will ruthlessly try to destroy the old goat’s replacement just as they are trying with Kavanaugh.

Big stakes. All over the media. One clue to what is very important to the left is the radio “news” on the hour and the half hour. They have only a few minutes, so they use their time to promote their agenda to the fullest. They are leading with the Kavanaugh story.

My wife and I discussed that last night. If Kavanaugh is ever on the fence about a particular decision, he will remember what the left attempted and that will be the deciding factor.

The Democrats have created a wound that will never heal.

Coney-Barrett has been a judge for a year or so. She could use more seasoning before being elevated to SCOTUS, IMO.

If ever there was a worry that he could become a Roberts down the road, I think that possibility is now remote to non-existent.
