Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is right that Senate’s confirmation process is "a national disgrace." The damage done to Kavanaugh’s family is horrific. Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., was clear: “What you want to do is destroy this guy's life, hold this seat open and hope you win in 2020.”
The threats and vicious messages that his family and Christine Blasey Ford have received are a national embarrassment.
Hopefully, everyone other than the most partisan Americans wants to fix this and stop it from ever happening again. But the question is how? What went wrong?
The problem has been getting worse for a long time. The solution, though, is very simple – but it isn’t what most liberals will want to hear.
The government has too much of a stake in too many peoples’ lives these days. And it is the very drive-by liberals to champion big government and its involvement in every aspect of American life that has made the question of who sits on the Court so crucial.
Reduce the role of government, and we reduce the vitriol over Supreme Court nominations. It is that simple.
This is because when so much is at stake, the fiercer the fight will be over everything from who is on the Supreme Court to who wins elections.
From the first Supreme Court nomination in 1789 until 1825, the average confirmation time from nomination to Senate vote took just over two days. From 1826 to 1950, the next 68 confirmations averaged 14 days.
But this changed dramatically over the next half-century. From 1951 through 1976, the average confirmation process increased to more than 50 days, and from 1976 to the present, it has averaged at least 75 days.....

“Because the left values baby-killing above all else. Take that away and they have nothing left.”
That’s a fact. The left are infatuated with infanticide.
Yup, abortion is a huge reason.
> Because the left values baby-killing above all else. Take that away and they have nothing left.
Exactly what I was going to say. Anyone who doesn’t see that is blind. Everything else they do serves that purpose, either directly or indirectly. It is their Holy Grail, their raisin d’etre, their greatest and only love.
> Because the Left is dedicated to government expansion into all aspects of American life with the ultimate goal of socialism, and the Supreme Court is the last best way of stopping them.
Socialism is not their ultimate goal. Socialism will only serve as a tool to let/help them kill more babies and old people and disabled people and conservatives. But their real lust is for the blood of the innocent, the unborn.
The Kavanaugh Supreme Court fight is so vicious because Kavanaugh is a conservative and it would put an end to the flighty decisions coming from the liberal judges already on the court, not for any other reason.
