Predictions and Observations on How the Coming Week Will Play Out for the Kavanaugh Confirmation
spector.org ^ | Dov Fischer

Posted on 10/01/2018 10:48:14 AM PDT by bitt

In the end, Democrat totalitarianism will be warded off and there’ll be only one Senate RINO left.

I begin by sharing forthrightly my abject disgust over everything I have seen play out since the President nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to succeed Justice Anthony Kennedy to the High Court.

I am disgusted by the Democrats and The Resistance. I am not disgusted that their political views differ from my deeply conservative views. That is politics, and that is fair. We do not live in the Soviet Union, China, Venezuela, or in any of the 23-plus Arab Muslim countries — worlds where there is no honest democracy. We live in the United States. In this country, it is to be expected that people will differ. Even a 55%-45% electoral victory in America is deemed a veritable landslide. When the divide is 60% to 40%, it is anepiclandslide. That means that, for every majority viewpoint, at least two-fifths of the people will see things differently. So I am not disgusted that Democrats disagree with my conservative world view.

Would like to see Trump send up a woman next time...

Doesn't matter who Trump sends up. What matters is Trump is the one sending up nominees. Conservativism vs. Socialism, Good vs. evil. They will hose a female just as they attempt to hose Kavanaugh and just as they hosed Sarah Palin.

I'd like to see conservatives stop thinking this is all a game of Gotcha.

'D's and 'R's no longer matter. It is an ongoing battle between good and evil. The Leftists stopped playing years ago.

The Christine Balsey Fraud tactic is imploding.

The Democrat tactic is imploding.

Kavanaugh is being vindicated, much to their chagrin.

I heard that back in 1962, the hearing for Byron White’s nomination was over and done in one day. And actually took less than a full day for the Senate committee of that time to do their work.

It seems you don’t really need a full week, and then wait for the political smears to come out, in order to fairly do the advice and consent role.

I am certain that next week, Dr. Ford will still be a very very sick woman.

Somebody like Condelisa [sic] Rice

I would be EXTREMELY LEERY of her - she is a dyed in the wool Bushie and possesses a couple of additional alternate agendas.

I wonder if the Dems will deny a quorum for the vote. That tactic was popular among some state legislative bodies a few years ago.

After this week he will be confirmed. And we will have more verification that God is answering the prayers of many in this country. Many who have been praying for a number of years for our country. God is extending the life of this country and answering our prayers. When RBG dies and Trump nominates an ultra conservative.... the spiritual battle will be in full fight. But God has granted this country more time.

I don't see that making a difference. Leninists are Leninists. Hyenas are hyenas. They didn't exactly hold back on Sarah Palin.

Kavanaugh will be confirmed. Per the Judiciary Committee vote, the investigation must end by Thursday. Trump has very effectively removed himself from directing the investigation. Murkowski, Collins and even Manchin now have cover to vote to confirm.

The minute McConnell knows he has the votes, confirmation will proceed.

As I recall, she's a pro-abort.

“Would like to see Trump send up a woman next time”

I would like to see an honest, dignified process where the best qualified man or woman could be nominated.

I’m tired of this sexist politics. And I’m a woman.

America will never be great if we keep advancing lower qualified people just to meet some stupid PC sex and race ratio.

Please visit this site to read the "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" of Ohio State Legislator and A.M.E. Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett, delivered in 1876.

If you've never read it before, you will be shocked by the wisdom and foresight of this leader who saw what would be the consequence of the Liberal/Progressive movement to our Republic.

This is the word for today which would lift the hearts of all Americans, informing them of the ideas underlying their liberty and warning of threats to that liberty from a movement already begun in that 1876 year by those he described as "Liberals," led by leading academics of the day.

One more word: Progressives of both Parties are showing their allegiance to an ideology which has been attempting to replace those ideas of Creator-endowed rights, liberty and individual freedom embedded in America's Declaration of Independence and protected by its 1787 Constitution to limit power in government.

"Ideas have consequences." - Weaver

The ideas of America's founding period and its first many decades of existence were essential to individual liberty, as well as the explosion of opportunity, creativity, productivity and plenty--all of which were shared with oppressed peoples all over the world.

The ideas of the Liberal/Progressive movement since the late 1800's have brought America backward to the Old World ideas from which the Founders had escaped. The ideas of liberty need to be rediscovered and embraced for the protection of posterity.

Absolutely not! i am not for another woman on the court. They too easily become a “sisterhood.” We have too many already.
