Democrats Brace for War over Supreme Court
American Thinker ^ | 08/27/2019 | Fletch Daniels

Posted on 08/27/2019 6:33:43 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The news that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was treated for pancreatic cancer raised the possibility of a Supreme Court opening within the next year.

The 86-year-old Ginsburg's health has been declining for years, to where the last year has felt like a bad remake of the 1989 Weekend at Bernie's movie. Instead of enjoying her golden years in retirement, Ginsburg has been propped up and hidden in the hopes of holding the seat until a Democrat is elected.

The always elegant Michael Moore, who previously placed a Ginsburg doll atop a Christmas tree, summed up the Democrat zeitgeist when he tweeted, "HOLYMOTHEROFRBG!! EVERYBODY, RIGHT THIS SECOND, JOIN A MOVEMENT, CAMPAIGN, GRASS ROOTS GROUP -WHATEVER - AND WORK NONSTOP BTWN RIGHT NOW & NOV 2020!"

The Left is already manning the barricades. The resulting hearing will make the Brett Kavanaugh fiasco, a dark moment in U.S. history, look like a charming affair. In the event that President Donald Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett, as many conservatives hope, this hearing will be a preview of the Apocalypse.

The rise of hatred on the Left, aided by years of persistent media bias and leftist propaganda, has created a rolling tidal wave of hate ready to crash on shore in violence. The two most likely triggering events that would cause that crash are the re-election of President Trump and the next opening on the Supreme Court, particularly to fill Ginsburg's seat. It's an increasingly good bet that the latter will come first.

The Democrats are telegraphing they will go scorched earth to fight Barrett, and Senator Chuck Schumer will appeal to President Trump to prevent her nomination. Trump should politely decline.

Leftists CLAIM it’s all about Roe V Wade. The motivation that dares not speak its name however is the 2nd Amendment. I think this is actually a bigger motivation for Leftists. Abortions being more difficult to get in some states they could live with. Private citizens being well armed is a firewall against bat their ultimate goal - the total concentration of power by the federal government.

About the only option for the Left is to try to physically impede Congress, and that won’t get very far. The only reason Kavenaugh dragged out was because we only have 51 votes in the Senate. Thankfully, we have 53 votes, and unless something really big about her past comes up, the Turtle will set a schedule, and she will be quickly confirmed, and if one or two RINOs act up, we now have enough to outvote them (barely enough, but enough).

"I was cowering and crying with my matzo ball soup, she just wouldn't stop hitting me with that heavy cross. I was slumped in a corner of the sorority house, shaking. And that SCREAM, always that piercing scream, right in my ear, 'Yahweh NO, Jesus YES..!' The intolerance, you know..? Over and over, right into my ear, nothing discouraged her. I sometimes wake up at night, even now, in a stark terror over her all-consuming brow-beating about Christianity, how I had to convert and save myself from the tongues of fire of everlasting HELL. I'll never forget her words..!"

As someone else pointed out, there is no vacancy on the Court. Having said that, if the left wants to pull their hair out anyway, let them have at it.

I wonder what thing they will fabricate next ... Are they going to dig up some hidden skeleton from 30 years ago?


Yes they will. With Amy Barrett or any other nominee, they will dig up things from the teenage years or childhood even.

We saw with Kavanaugh, that they made the most important issue, as to what happened when two 17 year olds rolled around on a bed for 30 seconds 30 years previously.

It could be more difficult to get into sexual smears with a woman nominee. But I wouldn’t put it past the liberals, to go there, and pay off some dude to say they did certain things in a 1st date situation, or that she was drunk a lot in college, etc. and that this situation led to her involvement with numerous men.

I think the Kavanaugh situation is also, a shot across the bow, to let any future nominee know, what sort of treatment they can expect from the liberals and media. And this could cause some nominees to decline to be nominated for the Supreme Court or other high offices, because they would not want to go through that gauntlet.

A “war”. Blah blah blah. It’s not a war. It’s a judicial confirmation.


To the liberals, court nominations are war, because the “wrong” type of federal court judges threaten everything the left believes in .

When Memorial Sloan Kettering announced of RBG that there is no further treatment needed at this time,” the warning shot was heard loud and clear.

That announcement after cancer treatments earlier this month was the equivalent of “we’ve done all we can.”

The use of a stent reportedly can be part of those final efforts or not depending on the situation of the individual patient.

But the reaction of the Left tells you all we need to know. The time is neigh.

RE: The idiot left has interrupted his dinner, harassed his wife, tried to keep him from boarding his flight in DC...

Yep, and they doxxed him, resulting in a group of protesters harassing him at home. When he filmed the protest and posted it on Twitter, they BANNED his account.

The Dems are fighting for their lives, the GOP is oblivious and unprepared for a fight.

Stock up on self defense items.
Things could take a turn for the worse, quickly.

"Rosary beads, that's how she'd START. Then, she'd Ratched things up. Wratchet, rather. Then wave the Bible around, calling it my MEDICINE. 'You're going to take this holy medicine, whether you like it or not, Jesus killer..!' She was a MONSTER."

Shame on anyone not already prepared. Yes it can come quickly and frankly surprised it has not come yet.

The GOP just don’t care. Unlike Democrats there is no ideological core to the modern GOP. They just want to get paid and set up their kids to do the same. That is all.

My dark horse.

Britt Grant.

100% genuine conservative. Six years younger than ACB and she absolutely strikes terror into the hearts of liberals.

The Democrats propaganda machine is being oiled and warmed up. No lie will be out of bounds. The question is how much will be believed by the public?

“In the event that President Donald Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett, as many Conservatives hope, this hearing will be a preview of the Apocalypse.”

Yep. And it NEEDS to happen prior to 2020. Timing is everything. How CAN the leftists justify picking on a woman? LOL! It’s going to be one for the History Books. I hope Amy is taking her Geritol - by the gallon! ;)

It’s AMAZING to me how their FEAR of losing the ‘right’ to murder their child in (and out of!) the womb colors every other judicial matter! They couldn’t care LESS about any other God-Given rights they have, being BLESSED to be an American, but they’ve just GOT to keep killing the children.

*SPIT*

Trump. Landslide. 2020. MAGA! KAG! :)

BTW, what’s to stop the Dems from doing what the GOP did when Antonin Scalia passed away with respect to Merrick Garland?

Are you referring to the ‘Biden Rule?’ I thought I read elsewhere that that was out the window as the Dems don’t have the WH And the Senate?

Of course, never put anything past them! ;)

Prior to being elevated to the 11th Circuit, Judge Britt Grant was a law clerk to then -Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Being past president of the Federalist Society will set up red flags everywhere among the Libs.
