In almost forty years of broadcasting and writing, I’ve spent a lot of time tracking the fates of the Republican and Democrat parties. In recent years, the main conservative thirsts have been for a more muscular and unapologetic conservatism and for the bright light of truth to be directed onto the darkest habits of modern leftists.
The election of Donald Trump has propelled us down a road featuring satisfying helpings of both. But on one stunning day, September 27, 2018, there arose Republican resolve like nothing in recent memory. The accompanying reputational suicide of several key Democrats tied a bow around a historic day for clarity.
The occasion was the totally unnecessary session of testimony by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his main accuser of sexual misbehavior, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. The occasion was needless because Dr. Ford’s story in no way rises to the level of credibility to dislodge the nomination.
No decent society smears people for life based on high school misbehavior, so even if the wholly unsupported story were true, there would have been a strong argument against its relevancy today.
As such, the rhythm became: five minutes of Ms. Mitchell poking through questions of fact and memory, interrupted by five minutes of Democrat grandstanding. Then five more minutes of Ms. Mitchell seeming to inch closer to a salient point, only to be buzzered by the need to recognize the next round of Democrat fawning and prattling.
..snip..
But as soon as Judge Kavanaugh completed his opening statement, it became clear what the afternoon matinee would contain: Republicans showing more spine than they have in years, accompanied by Democrats making total asses of themselves.

The Democrats should now be called the “BOOFS”, or demonic boofs, being borrowed from a certain year book.
This was almost an Oliver North scale disaster for the “Boof Party”!
I sure hope so
Once it gets out of Grassley’s incompetent hands, ‘MaC’ will take over and he will be confirmed.
The millennial living with me (29) was highly perturbed by the day’s hearings, which were all based on high school jinx. She had voted, albeit halfheartedly, for Hillary in 2016. She seems like she just got red-pilled.
That is exactly what I have been thinking.
They screwed up and created another implacable foe.
This was an epic reveal of just what kind of degenerates populate the Democratic party. It took both Graham & the judge to save his nomination today.
Even more so....this might mitigate any damage we are facing from the midterms. Heard on FOX that Graham was given a standing ovation when he walked into a GOP meeting this evening....he deserves it.
“..showed him to be a bit timid....”
I watched it. He was ANYTHING BUT timid.
I don’t care about being a grudge holder or never listening to arguments from any angle. God bless the Constitution and the men who protect it. God bless all who have and do and will support it. I believe Judge Kavannah showed where his heart is and defended his reputation and his great family. If he supports the USA and the rule of law we all win. Anyone that doesn’t believe Justice Thomas was a role model for a great opening speech by soon to be Justice Kavannah was instrumental today or the great Justice Scalia wasn’t there in spirit does not know history. God Bless America.
From Breitbart
“Mitchell analyzed the testimony, told GOP that as a prosecutor she would not charge Kavanaugh or even pursue search warrant.”

Exquisite writing; exquisite righting.
From your lips to God’s ear.
I would be very surprised if Thomas and the people that helped him didn’t help Kavanaugh as well.
I agree. On dont think we have to worry about Mr. Kavanaugh waffling on any issues.
[The look on the deer-caught-in-the-headlights Howell Heflin’s face when Thomas called the proceeding a “high tech lynching for uppity blacks” is something I’ll never forget.]
Supreme Court nominees should not be chosen based on the sex of a candidate. May the next nominee be chosen by the level of trust earned from the longest record of decisions on issues most relevant to our most pressing concerns today. The U.S.A. has had its fill of the politics of sex.
‘Men Are Trash’ vs. ‘I Stand With Brett’: Wild scene at the Capitol for Kavanaugh drama

I hope so. Especially if Kavanaugh is seated, we need to stay sharp and get out the vote. We’re starting to get some traction but anyone who thinks the car is out of the ditch could be in for some bitter disappointment.
Don’t get complacent, folks! VOTE on November 6!
Once Judge Kavanaugh is seated and firmly in place on the court, it will be payback time:
"Revenge is a dish best served cold."
A LOT of people need to be prosecuted for treasonous acts.
I watched Graham on Hannity/Fox too. It was really good.
Shocking (I like the new Graham)
