The Kavanaugh controversy is really a proxy for the battle for the rule of law. The Supreme Court and Kavanaugh are proxies in that battle, a battle in which the left seeks to do away with more than the distortions of the Constitution which they have already achieved.

They seek to substitute a whole new paradigm which has nothing to do with the Bill of Rights, limited, enumerated and separated powers, checks and balances, or the primacy of the individual over the collective.

So in attempting to destroy Kavanaugh, they are by extension destroying legitimacy of the Supreme Court and with it the rule of law. Certainly our fundamental founding documents. They are coming ever closer in their nihilism to their goal of systemic destruction. The closer they take us, the closer the breakdown of society into either a Hobbesian jungle or Civil War.

It’s funny. When SCOTUS rules in a way they like, say abortion or gay “marriage”, it is as though the ruling has come from God Himself and cannot be questioned. It is “settled law”. But if it rules or even threatens to rule in a way displeasing to liberals, then SCOTU is “sick”, politicized, and in need of correction.

They are coming ever closer in their nihilism to their goal of systemic destruction.

I believe the left got this close because of the weakness and fecklessness of Republican leadership over the years. Republicans used to act like "battered wives" after decades of dishonest reporting by the MSM made them cower from power, giving the left free reign over the direction of the country.

President Trump is showing the country what it's like when an opposition fights back. Unfortunately, Republican leaders are still acting like battered wives, who when confronted by police to press charges are afraid to give up whatever place in the relationship they already have, because it's all they've ever known.

Nothing will change, despite Trump's actions, if our current GOP leadership doesn't finally step down and let a new generation take control; a generation that was not raised on the abuses of the Democrats and the media, but were stifled and held back by the entrenchment of the Republicans who refuse to give up their own power that they are still afraid to wield.
