No sooner did President Donald Trump name federal Appeals Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh his U.S. Supreme Court nominee the liberal far left Democrats really showed their stuff and it was not pretty. These captured images will stay with voters like a bad headache with the mid-term elections only 19 weeks down the road.
Leading the Kavanaugh opposition is Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) who said he will oppose this nominee “with everything I’ve got.” Liberal groups are lining up millions of dollars to fight this nomination with national TV ads on mainstream media and digital advertising on social media.
Chances are the opposition to Kavanaugh will fail and end up a huge waste of money and resources poured down the drain. Even though Kavanaugh is on record saying he would accept the precedent of law and not attempt to overturn Roe Vs Wade, the highly controversial 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, the Democrats will keep on repeating their negative mantra against this nominee.
“They are looking for any reason to take this guy down and it’s not right,” said Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) in a recent TV news interview.
The liberals are screaming at the lips that Kavanaugh was only selected to protect President Trump from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia/Trump campaign collusion investigation. Mueller’s on-going probe will issue his final report September 1, according to news reports.
Watching Sens Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Bernie Sanders (D-VT) come unglued on national TV in their rants about Kavanaugh clearly showed their shared derangement over anything that touches Roe Vs Wade and women’s reproductive rights. Warren, Gillibrand and Sanders appeared mentally unstable and acted more like little spoiled children that didn’t get their ice cream before bedtime. Who votes for people like this? They are nuts. What’s the big deal with Roe Vs Wade anyway? Women should control their bodies and not need abortions in this day and age of modern contraceptives that work.
While President Trump campaigned for president he released a list of 25 names that he would pick from to make nominations to the U.S. Supreme Court. The list was drawn up by the Federalist Society, a political group of conservative lawyers. Liberal Democrats say all 25 names are unacceptable. Supreme Court Judge Neil Gorsuch, nominated by President Trump and confirmed by the U.S. Senate, was on that list and so is Kavanaugh, whose legal resume is far-reaching.
The group benefiting the most from the Kavanaugh controversy is mainstream media who will rake in millions upon millions of dollars in anti-Trump and anti-Kavanaugh negative advertising which will flood the airwaves and the internet. Mainstream media will love this fight and they will do whatever they can to keep this controversy alive at the real expense of the American people.
Another group benefiting from this controversy are Republican candidates for the U.S. Congress and statehouses from coast-to-coast. The more the Democrats go on and on with their negative rants they are turning off voters who see an engaged President Trump doing good things for the USA at home and overseas.
The closer we get to the Nov. 6 mid-term election the more heated and crazy the political soap opera will become. Yes, it can get even crazier. We ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
