What kind of a country is this that the Dem-Socialists scream,holler, yell, slander people, block public highways, threaten people with violence and subject the court nominees to abuse and innuendo and tormenting hours of grilling in hearings?
A quiet, gentle, bookish judge would be ruled out, unable to stand the hot light treatment cross examination from intensely hostile prima donna narcissists in the Senate.
I put the blame completely on Ted Kennedy and his slander of Robert Bork.
It may have started with Bork but both sides have continued it ever since.
If only Kavenaugh and the WSJ and the RINOs agreed with you.
They all acknowledge that the progressive agenda has used court dictates for many of its achievwements, but they all are not willing or prepared to undo “precedents” that were always wrong, always Constitutionally wrong progesssive judicial activism.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Forget the Left!
It’s all about the unconstitutionally powerful, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate imo.
After all, the Senate not only helps the likewise corrupt House to pass unconstitutional bills, bills that steal state powers and uniquely associated state revenues, but the Senate then nominates activist justices who declare Congress’s unconstitutional laws to be constitutional, unconstitutional Obamacare a great example.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphasis added]." —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe (See middle of third column.)
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
Patriots need to support Pres. Trump in leading the states to repeal the 17th Amendment, the 16th Amendment along with it.
I think it’s due to the “living Constitution” approach. Because the constitutional basis is so flimsy, the left needs partisan judges on the Court to preserve what has somehow been emanated from the penumbra of constitutional provisions. They want nominees to pledge support for dubious precedents rather than for the fairly understood constitutional text.
If Trump said that he would nominate Judge Judy, the left would still be angry...
