Actually it is quite good. You can reach nearly the end of it before apprehending the direction.

More proof that Williamson and others connected with NR are raving psychotics with their Never Trump Syndrome.

Huh? He's using satire to point out the hypocrisy of the Democrats voting unanimously to approve Gorsuch for the federal bench but now becoming outraged about his Supreme Court appointment. And considering Gorsuch's actions all the way back to high school (boy are the Dems digging), it's clear he's not a recent conservative.

Williamson says that either the Dems are idiots for not noticing that Gorsuch was a conservative ten years ago, political hacks for bending to their donors now, or traitors for voting for someone who they now claim is an enemy of the Constitution.

It is a biting way of proving that they are just political hacks bending to Soros and his echo chamber.

I know, the article wasn’t bad.

I just like reminding people of Williamson and NRO’s ugly dismissal of rural working class Americans

Kevin Williamson has always been a good writer.

The NeverTrump stuff cast a cloud on his thinking.

Sounds like we need to hire Lucille for an extended gig...

And a pressure washer. That, too. 😀

**He (Gorsuch) was confirmed unanimously. Senator Wyden could not stir himself to vote against this human horror, whose defects are so obvious and so well-documented. Neither could Gorsuch’s classmate from Harvard Law, Senator Obama. Senator Dick Durbin knuckled under to the unanimous decision, as did Senator Debbie Stabenow, Senator Chuck Schumer, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (remember her?), Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Harry Reid, Senator Patty Murray, Senator Patrick Leahy, Senator John Kerry, even the late Senator Ted Kennedy.**

I'm glad to see Kevin is putting his writing talent to better use than he did on 16 June 2015, when he wrote Witless Ape Rides Escalator.

Many of these fellows have woke up and seen that this is the way it is and if they want to stay in the game they have to get on board, to mix metaphors a bit. Others have come to see that Trump is not the dunce they took him for and that his apparent lack of manners was/is necessary. While they maintain their reservations they will more and more applaud and support the results. At first, like Levin, they are positively enthusiastic about his appointments and the results of his rapid movement without mentioning the mover himself. The principled Constitutionalists have a hard time but even they are seeing that that time is past, that a Constitutionalist cannot get past the opposition because he has to defer to it and that the Constitution has been set aside by the Democrats and the Republicans and cannot be put back in place by purely Constitutional means. I have my own nits to pick with Trump but they are actually hopes that he will restructure the monster then return it to the Founders’ vision. I have my own ideas about that and they lean heavily toward the Article V Convention which Levin has done so much to promote. Congress cannot take back its ceded powers. Only the States, now, can put things right, if they will.

I believe it was Joe Sobran who wryly observed that we don’t let the Constitution get in the way of our national government.

He was a big advocate of Article 9 and 10, which have pretty much been dead letters probably beginning around Lincoln.

Any attempt to ‘get back to the Founders vision’ would run head on into the fact there are many interpretations of what the Founders meant. This was true almost immediately after the Constitution was ratified, witness the Hamiltonians vs the Jeffersonians. Or you could even start before ratification, with anti-Federalists like Patrick Henry and George Mason versus those who wanted a more powerful central government.

Wyden says he’s putting a hold on the nominee for Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.

Is that “hold” garbage still allowed. Is this f-tard gonna be allowed to help terrorist by keeping that position vacant?
