Gut reactions to the Kavanaugh delay
h/t InstapunditI'm trying to be adult in my response to yet another delay in Judge Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation. I can understand why some Senate Republicans wanted a further investigation, and why President Trump acceded to their wishes. They have a one-vote - one single vote - margin in the Senate, and at least three RINO senators who may, for their own reasons, prefer not to support Judge Kavanaugh. If they're lucky, they may get one or two Democratic senators to support him . . . but that still means that his confirmation is not certain. It may be that the Vice-President will have to cast a tie-breaking ballot to decide the issue. That would be anything but ideal, and would open to question any ruling of the Supreme Court in which Mr. Kavanaugh's vote was decisive. The Administration is bending over backwards to avoid going to such extremes, and get him confirmed by even one vote rather than risk such consequences. IMO, any ruling of the Supreme Court in which Mr. Kavanaugh's vote was decisive will be questioned regardless Nevertheless, I'm sickened by the arrogance, dishonesty and partisanship displayed by so many Senators in recent days. Democrats, in particular, have abandoned any semblance of decency. Acting B. Hard ...We live - or are supposed to live - according to the rule of law in these United States. The Kavanaugh hearings have shown that for too many of us, the rule of law is no longer relevant. It's become the rule of feelings, the rule of sympathy, the rule of partisan bias. Facts no longer matter. Proof no longer matters. It's all about how we perceive things. In a conflict between these who go by feelz and these who been taught self-control, the feelz people initially win - however, eventually, daddy spanks. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2018-09-30 |
