    Is this the hill they die on?

    By Anna L. Stark


    Ask yourself the following question: Is the repugnant and egregious behavior of the Democrats on Senate Judiciary Committee and their enablers the hill they want to die on? Is the hideous, unfounded, but well-coordinated attack on Judge Brett Kavanagh worth it, considering that President Trump may have the opportunity to nominate not one, but perhaps two more people to the Supreme Court during his tenure in the White House? Given the better than average chance that Judge Kavanagh will be confirmed by the Senate by the end of this week, it’s not too farfetched to imagine that future Senate Judiciary committee hearings will be tainted from the outset, clouded by doubt, much more nefarious behavior by Democrats, and punctuated with despicable vulgarity.

    For Democrats, their grossly miscalculated strategy of character assassination has fallen woefully short of achieving their desired outcome. Two women, assisted by an army of lawyers, enablers, and far left political operatives crafted narratives that are not only devoid of specific details and factual evidence, but feature no corroborating witnesses. Not surprisingly, all the witnesses named to date have categorically denied the allegations, leaving both of the accusers drowning in a sea of doubt and suspicion. In a bizarre twist of logic, former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm stated on a CNN panel that no corroborating witnesses absolutely proves the accuser’s allegation to be true. Obviously, Granholm has never set foot in an American courtroom, in which actual evidence and eyewitness testimony is required to prove guilt.


    Not to be outdone, Hawaii senator Mazie Hirono declared the Senate Judiciary Committee a court of credibility, based on the belief that since accusers have come forward, their allegations are true and they must be believed. Putting aside the real task of the committee, which is to “advise and consent” on presidential nominees to the Supreme Court, Hirono displays stunning ignorance regarding not only her role on the committee, but the American legal system as well. Twisted logic supersedes once again -- the accused is guilty based solely on the repressed memories of the accusers, who have provided vague details void of verifiable factual evidence, lacking police reports and eyewitness testimony. Incredible as it sounds, Senator Hirono earned her law degree from Georgetown University. If Hirono is the standard by which all Georgetown law students are to be judged, I’ve made a mental note never to hire a Georgetown Law school graduate.
    If the lewd and lascivious allegations of Judge Kavanagh’s former Yale classmate Debra Ramirez aren’t enough to thoroughly discredit the ongoing spectacle, degenerate porn lawyer Michael Avenatii claims there is a third female accuser ready to go public, who will accuse Judge Kavanagh and his high school friend Mark Judge of pimping girls for sex after drugging and liquoring them up. According to Avenatii, the newest accuser has a security clearance; which makes her more credible. Surprisingly, Jeffery Toobin, chief legal analyst for CNN called Avenatti’s claims irresponsible. Toobin went on to say, “It’s publicity seeking of the worst kind. To just throw this garbage out there with no name, I think is awful.” Apparently Toobin has come to the conclusion that this is not the hill to die on.

    Given the depth of Democrat depravity and reprehensible behavior to date, there is no questioning the level of lewdness the Democrats will stoop to in their poorly contrived attempt to derail Brett Kavanagh.

    I can see a 'similarity' to the days just before Gen. Santa Ana surrounded Alamo. Lol, according to the movie, Jim Bowie was calling for "cut, slash, and run" tactics...while Travis was calling for 'forting up and standing firm'.

    It seem some demon-crats are starting to see the wisdom of Jim Bowie's tactic...while most are advocating Travis's. They believe that they can't afford to lose any more ground...that this is 'do or die' time.

    Reading this, I get the impression that "Business Insider" is not pro-Trump, but read the article and see where things stand and why they feel so 'desperate'.

    https://www.businessinsider.com/trum...nations-2017-7

    Here's a 'teaser'...

    ""There's widespread belief that Donald Trump is lagging past presidents in submitting nominations for key posts in his administration. For the most part, that is true — except in one area that could help Trump leave behind his biggest legacy.
    When it comes to nominating judges to the federal bench, Trump is moving at a breakneck pace. And the number of nominees for vacant US attorney positions, a crucial area, is dwarfing that of the past administration this early on.
    On the federal bench, virtually all the vacancies Trump has been rushing to fill are lifetime appointments.
    "This will be the single most important legacy of the Trump administration," Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told Business Insider. "They will quickly be able to put judges on circuit courts all over the country, district courts all over the country, that will, given their youth and conservatism, will have a significant impact on the shape and trajectory of American law for decades.
    "I do think this deserves more attention given the consequence, the significance of what will eventually be a wholesale change among the federal judiciary," he continued.

    While only three of Trump's nominees for the federal bench, aside from Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, have been confirmed by the Judiciary Committee to date, the sheer number of nominees he has sent to the committee — both for federal judgeships and US attorney slots — is staggering. ""

    And, in case it hasn't been posted anywhere else yet, here's a site with a comprehensive list of Trump's 'accomplishments' so far.

    From another post:
    Yes, there is an attempted coup from within the government, but on a larger scale, we need to call out what's going on. This is sedition, plain and clear. From Soros's funding of agitators to this Ford woman fabricating a story from whole cloth to college campuses around the country. We are literally in a battle for the country itself. I don't mean the direction the country goes, I mean the very foundation of the country. I fear that we are at our own Caesar crossing the Rubicon moment. I mean that in whoever wins this struggle determines the future of the country. Do we return to our republic roots? Or do we become an empire ruled by an oligarchy?

    As the old saying goes, "united we stand, divided we fall". I was speaking to my mom yesterday, she's approaching 70, and even she doesn't remember a time when the country as a whole was more divided than it is today. I suspect that in truth, we are at a point of disconnect greater than anything since Reconstruction. The country is a tinderbox and there are agitators, both within and without, striking matches and fanning flames. Look no further than the left with the Kavanaugh nomination. There is nothing they won't do to destroy this man, and his family. To them it's easy to justify because he's a political enemy. That makes him evil and worthy of every vicious lie they can create, no matter how flimsy. And where will this man go to get his reputation back when his accuser is shown to be nothing more than a politically motivated liar? And all the politicians, media personalities and activists on her side? Even when he is exonerated there will be those who will have convinced themselves absolutely that this man is some kind of villain and this woman is a victim whose rights have been trampled over and over.

    We have become so divided that many on both sides view the other side as being more of a threat than a hostile foreign power. People, both right and left, have less in common with each other than they do with Russians, Chinese or Islamists. I fear for this country. I fear there will be blood in the streets before this is decided. Regardless of who wins the mid terms, regardless of a red wave or a blue wave, regardless of the intensity of the debates on Capital Hill, I see only dark days on the horizon. It remains to be seen if there is any light on the other side.

    I already know about Wikipedia, so no need to tell me how anybody can edit stuff posted there. But do go there and read for yourselves how many Federal judges Trump...and Sessions...have already 'installed'.

    Lol, being a 'computer dinosaur', I'm quite happy when I can show my 'computer search skills'...so here's the Wikipedia link for the judges...

    Got a bit of time to spend? Here's Wikipedia's list of political appointees for Trump.

    Who has *the* final say in all things 'Law'? The Supreme Court. And with so many of the judges in the 'lower' levels of the court system being appointed by Trump you can easily see why the demoncrats are pulling out *all* the stops and using every dirty trick they can think of in the Kavanaugh hearing. For them it *is* 'do or die'.

    Lol, but the idiots are really playing right into the hands of Trump. Judge Kavanaugh is really an excellent choice for the SC seat. But, should the demoncrats win and get him tossed, they lose. The next one coming up makes Kavanaugh look like a wimp...and they'll be 'out of ammo' to stop them with.
