And...he makes her look like a simpleton by telling her....its in the book. 15 seconds or less, and while this clip cuts her reply short, she seems to smirk, nod her head reflexively and set up her next WAUA.

The guy has a point. Obviously, it will fall on deaf ears.

Never underestimate Nancy Pelosi’s ability to say something completely insane. Check out this warning about Brett Kavanaugh:

✔@ryanstruyk

 

Missed this yesterday but Pelosi suggested that Brown v. Board could be in jeopardy if Kavanaugh is confirmed...

"If he doesn't believe in stare decisis of established law, everything is on the table: again, voting rights, civil rights, Brown v. The Board of Education."

11:19 AM - Sep 7, 2018

 

 

 

We’re not sure what would be worse: If she actually believes this, or if she knows she’s lying through her teeth and just doesn’t care.

 

Does Pelosi not know that Brown itself happened because the Court overturned a longstanding precedent (Plessy v Ferguson)?

 

All Dems have to do is not be insane. And they just … can’t … do it.

I missed this one yesterday.  Thanks for sharing.  

 

I disagree with his assertion that Kavanaugh will put his political beliefs in a box labelled "irrelevant" but everything else Sen. Sasse said in principle is spot on.  

 

It's exactly why I want term limits for the legislature:  it makes their job becomes legislating rather than reelection.

So...she believes stare decisis is an inviolable principle?

 

Because I don't recall her complaining when Trump v. Hawaii overturned Korematsu v. United States.

This is where the left yells "Who cares?!? If you don't like it, leave LA. Oh, and if you leave LA, you're a coward!"

 

Leftists are funny like that. Not very smart. But funny.

 

Hey! If you call one Nobel Prize winner a dirtball POS, you call all of them a dirtball POS, and since Barack Obama has one, that makes you a racist!

You got me on that one.... But if I call Al Gore a POS does that even it out or does it make me a denier?

FTA:

I’ve been rethinking my mockery of this Krugman headline:

 

 

 

Actually, it makes perfect sense when you think about it. Modern liberalism depends on the idea of the “living Constitution,” which means that the written Constitution is dead. I sometimes like to quip that I’d prefer my Constitution dead on the page, thank you very much, not alive and wiggling like some kind of ugly green jello. So if Justice Kavanaugh can in fact “kill” the Constitution, it means in Krugman-speak that he will restore the Constitution as written and intended. No wonder he’s freaking out. How you gonna do all that redistributin’ if the Constitution is actually in force?

 

I predicted back in June that the confirmation hearings would be disrupted, which took—what? 45 seconds?—to be proven correct? Here are my next predictions:

 

• The Supreme Court will be disrupted this fall, perhaps on the first day of its session with newly installed Justice Kavanaugh, with leftists yelling that Kavanaugh and Gorsuch are “illegitimate” justices. Someone else will have a hidden camera to post the footage online.

 

• If—a big if—there’s a Democratic president and a Democratic Congress in our future, look for Democrats to take a run at two ideas that have already been floated: FDR-style court-packing, and/or impeachment of Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. Liberals have already floated court-packing, openly and without apology or embarrassment. I think some of the line of questioning by Democrats last week was an attempt to be able to argue that Kavanaugh “perjured” himself.

 

• Which brings me to one final comment. Democrats, I have discovered, are still hopping mad about Merrick Garland not getting on the Court. To which I usually respond with one word: “Bork.”

 

But the idea that Garland’s seat was “stolen” is ridiculous. If anything, it is yet one more item in the long list of Hillary Clinton’s political incompetence. It was entirely within the constitutional prerogative of the Senate majority to conclude that an open Supreme Court seat should be a general election issue. Trump openly grasped it, and his decision to release of list of potential court appointments is among the reasons he won. Meanwhile, notice that Hillary Clinton wouldn’t say whether she’d send up Merrick Garland’s name again if she won the election. She could have made Garland an effective campaign talking point, but instead she stayed silent about Garland’s treatment, and everyone understood that she thought Garland was too moderate, and that she would appoint someone younger and much more to the left than the supposedly “moderate” Garland. (NB for some other time: Garland is no “moderate.” At best, he’s Stephen Breyer.)

 

So win, lose, or draw in the midterm election two months off, I’m expecting libs to completely lose their minds even more than they already have. The media simply don’t have enough bubble wrap to get them through.

Progressives warn Collins: Tube Kavanaugh or face our $900K death star

ED MORRISSEY Sep 10, 2018

 

Susan Collins said she needed the weekend to process her thoughts on Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation, but progressives in Maine have one last pitch to make. A crowdfunding effort launched in August to oppose Collins’ re-election has raised close to $900,000, and they’re promising to deploy it if she votes to confirm Donald Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court:

In mid-August, liberal activists started a crowdfunding campaign that aimed to raise $500,000 for Collins’s Democratic challenger in 2020 — a sum that it pledged to return to donors if the incumbent Republican votes “no” on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination.

As of this writing, that campaign has raised more than $878,000.

Watch the video that goes along with the crowdfunding, complete with “you’re voting to kill me” histrionics, and see if you can spot the flaw in the argument:

 

 

 

 

 

Actually, this argument has two basic flaws, apart from the nonsensical hyperbole used in support of it. First, these progressive groups will almost certainly fundraise and campaign against Collins even if she does vote against Kavanaugh. They’re going after Democrats in this cycle, even including Dianne Feinstein in California, where a progressive challenger will face her in the general election thanks to the Golden State’s all-in primary system. 

 

Second, while $900K sounds like a lot of money, it’s not all that significant in modern Senate campaigns. Even some House races are spending several times that amount in this cycle, and Senate races always run costlier, even in smaller states like Maine. It’s not nothing either, but again, it’s likely to be money that would have been spent against Collins anyway. In watching the video and the rhetoric used in it, do any of these women sound as though they’d be likely to vote for Collins in any circumstance, or to refrain from contributing against her? Pfft.

I admit it - I was scared. But what's more scary to me is the prospect of Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court. Call your Senators, it takes 2 minutes. 202-804-8191

It must be a truly bizarre experience to be Kavanaugh. You muddle along for fifty years, then wake up one morning and for some reason the lady from “Coyote Ugly” hates your ever-loving guts.

Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine fired back at progressive activists on Monday who have been raising money to oust the senator in the event she votes affirmatively to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

 

“I consider this quid pro quo fundraising to be the equivalent of an attempt to bribe me to vote against Judge Kavanaugh,” Collins told Newsmax. “If I vote against him, the money is refunded to the donors. If I vote for him, the money is given to my opponent for the 2020 race.”

 

Collins was referring to the joint effort by Maine People’s Alliance and Mainers for Accountable Leadership to crowdfund in an attempt to compel the senator to vote against Kavanaugh. The campaign, called “Either Sen. Collins VOTES NO on Kavanaugh OR we fund her future opponent,” has currently raised over $1.0 million, with a goal of $1.3 million.

 

“This effort will not influence my vote at all,” Collins continued. “I think it demonstrates the new lows to which the judge’s opponents have stooped.”

I'm shocked she stated the obvious. And, apparently, it strengthened her resolve to vote for him - also shocking.
