When Biden took office, one of his first acts was the elimination of our border security. Like a power-hungry dictator, Biden simply decided to ignore our immigration laws. His catastrophic border policy resulted in untold millions of unidentified foreign citizens from around the world pouring into our country. Its impact is now being felt in cities across the country. The worst is yet to come. PETER LEMISKA - AND WE'RE ALREADY THERE!!!

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S CORRUPT CULTURE OF SERIAL RAPIST AND PRETEND
Harvey Weinstein has been exposed in the media as the sexual predator he is, and Hillary Clinton has been exposed as the craven money-grubber she is; money over morality is the mantra she lives by. PATRICIA Mc CARTHY – AMERICAN THINKERcom
"But what the Clintons do is criminal because they do it wholly at the expense of the American people. And they feel thoroughly entitled to do it: gain power, use it to enrich themselves and their friends. They are amoral, immoral, and venal. Hillary has no core beliefs beyond power and money. That should be clear to every person on the planet by now." ---- Patricia McCarthy - AMERICANTHINKER.com
Like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I have a dream. My dream is that one day the United States will elect a president who dares to explain to the American people that, on controversial questions, the Supreme Court is a political and not a legal institution; and that justices practice their politics by pretending to "interpret" and apply the law and the Constitution.
In a nutshell, this explains what is going on with the vicious and vile leftist Democrat character assassination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
"Political" here does not refer to Republicans versus Democrats, or the desire of Trump-haters to stick it to the president. This article uses "political" to describe the struggle over "who gets what when and how." In a self-governing republic, the "how" consists of decisions by elected representatives. The Kavanaugh fight is really a fight between those who believe in the Framers' republic and those who want to destroy that republic.
To paraphrase the late, great Justice Antonin Scalia, he frequently told political combatants: "If you want policies not mandated or prohibited by the United States Constitution, don't ask judges to impose what you want but, instead, persuade your fellow citizens." What are today's leftists to do if they can't persuade their fellow citizens to buy their nostrums? What if these leftists are like the communists once described by Justice William O. Douglas as "miserable merchants of unwanted ideas" they cannot sell?
Here is why death penalty opponents, consistently unable to convert the death penalty-supporting majority of voters, repeatedly run to the Supreme Court to get their way: unaccountable judges are the last best hope of democracy's losers. Once upon a time, a very old Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. famously stated:
[A]bout 75 years ago I learned that I was not God. And so, when the people ... want to do something I can't find anything in the Constitution expressly forbidding them to do, I say, whether I like it or not, "G-------, let 'em do it."
Judge Kavanaugh has been subjected to what Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell called (4'04") a "despicable" Democrat smear campaign because today's "miserable merchants of unwanted ideas" are terrified that Kavanaugh is honest and will be faithful to the Constitution they have abhorred dating back toWoodrow Wilson. That these "miserable merchants" despise the Constitution and all who faithfully apply it has been abundantly demonstrated by the refusal of the left to accept the constitutionally mandated result of the 2016 election. Leftists prefer justices such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who, not long ago, expressed disdain for the very Constitution she took not one, but two oaths to apply faithfully (Equal Justice, p. 196). (Unlike in the days of my youth, today, "leftist" and "Democrat" are synonyms.)
Justice Scalia complained repeatedly about what has been described as the "Constitutionalization" of political issues by judges who "abridge[] the people's right to govern themselves" by removing these issues from the realm of political debate and legislative action without a shred of Constitutional justification." As Scalia powerfully explained:
The virtue of a democratic system with a First Amendment is that it readily enables the people, over time, to be persuaded that what they took for granted is not so, and to change their laws accordingly. That system is destroyed if the smug assurances of each age are removed from the democratic process and written into the Constitution. So to counterbalance the Court's criticism of our ancestors, let me say a word in their praise: They left us free to change. The same cannot be said of this most illiberal Court[.]
Leftists have declared war on decency, the American people, their way of life, their right to self-government (Equal Justice, p. 195), and their Constitution. If a president who is not a corrupt criminal darling of the left is constitutionally elected, why, then, let's just attempt a coup d'état. If a judge with a sterling reputation and impeccable credentials is nominated to the Supreme Court, why, then, let's destroy him with vicious character assassination.

No one can complain that President Trump is not one of the most courageous leaders in our history. But I do suggest that if the beloved country in which most Americans were raised is to survive in recognizable form, the president simply has not done enough. It is time to explain why the survival of the United States as a free and self-governing country is at stake. That means, to start, that it is time to explain that the United States Supreme Court has been transmogrified by the left from a legitimate legal institution into an illegitimate political institution.
It is time to give concrete examples, such as rewarding the most depraved individuals in our midst with a judicially invented not-in-the-Constitution right to commit additional violence with no punishment. That is not a mistake. Contrary to the widespread expectation that those with the worst records deserve the most punishment, dishonest justices have given a constitutional door prize to the most depraved to commit more depravity without any punishment at all.
That is but one example. There are many more. Pro-criminal leftists fear that a Justice Kavanaugh will honestly apply the Constitution and not participate in judicially ramming unpopular leftist policies down the throats of an unwilling American people. That is what this fight is really all about.
Given recent events, a re-run of the character assassinations of Judge Robert H. Bork and Justice Clarence Thomas, it is time to explain to the American people, as only President Trump can, that the 2018 election is a contest between good and evil. Majority leader McConnell was restrained in calling anti-Constitution Democrats "despicable." Anyone who thinks the mere leveling of a scurrilous charge is proof of its truth is genuinely evil. The existence of due process, freedom, the right of self-government, and public safety are at stake. Only the president can command an audience large enough to make a difference.
Again and again, dishonest judges have lied about the Constitution (Equal Justice, pp. 197, 265-275) in order to impose unwanted leftist policies on an averse electorate. If Judge Kavanaugh does not become Justice Kavanaugh, we can all say goodbye to honest Constitutional self-government and hello to fascism. Leftists have tried every dirty trick in the book – first, to prevent and second, to nullify the results of an election in which our promise-keeping president made the appointment of honest judges, committed to the Constitution, a central feature of his campaign.

On Kavanaugh, has disgraced Dianne Feinstein finished herself off?
As Sen. Lindsey Graham unexpectedly elevated himself to statesman during the last of the Senate hearings on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh Thursday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein dropped herself to bottom of the barrel as a political hack. Her performance, from start to finish, was a disgrace. It was so bad, so loathsome, even to the left, that it's hard to think it won't cost her her Senate seat, where she is in a tight race this November.
Here was the exchange on the Senate floor just yesterday, and Fox News has a video here:
"Only at an 11th hour, on the eve of Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation vote, did the ranking member refer the allegations to the FBI. And then the allegations were leaked to the press. That's where Dr. Ford was mistreated. This is a shameful way to treat our witness, who insisted on confidentiality, and Judge Kavanaugh, who has had to address these allegations in the midst of a media circus."
Feinstein responded to Grassley's criticism when she began her opening remarks, saying, "Yes, I did receive a letter from Dr. Ford ... the next day, I called Dr. Ford, we spoke on the phone, she reiterated that she wanted this held confidential. And I held it confidential, up to a point where the witness was willing to come forward."
Here's a rundown of how bad she was:
1. Feinstein got a letter from a constituent alleging sexual harassment by Judge Brett Kavanaugh during his high school years. She sat on it for 60 days, only to bring it up after hearings were concluded, obviously for some political bang, following the news that Kavanaugh would likely be confirmed without incident.
2. Asked about it at the time, Feinstein said she had questions about whether it was 'truthful.' That was her argument and stayed her argument, until Ford became politically useful.
3. Then Feinstein, or someone on her staff obviously leaked the letter to the press, following Feinstein's promises of confidentiality to the writer, effectively outing her, and forcing her to come forward as a named witness whether she liked it or not. That backed the witness, Christine Blasey Ford into a corner, forcing her to come forward with her allegations in testimony under oath, which, given the perjury trap it was for her, were quite vague. Ford herself said she believed she was betrayed and outed by someone on Feinstein's staff.
4. That was obvious enough when Feinstein was instrumental in getting Ford a leftwing lawyer to do the media grandstanding.
5. After that, Feinstein was confronted about her political opportunism by Sen. Ted Cruz, and tried to brush the whole thing off, begging his question about how the letter was leaked by saying reporters were the problem, not leakage. Pressed by another senator, she said she asked their staff and they said no – as if Feinstein, who employed an utterly untrustworthy Chinese spy on that same staff for 20 years – should just take their word for it. Sneaky leakers would never lie, now, would they?
It's bad stuff, political manipulation of the worst sort, and both sides have been right to call her out on it. Her denials are pathetic, failing to address any of the issues at hand, whether of legislative duties, leaks, or admitting blame. She's obviously put political gain ahead of doing her job, and she stands now as an unfit member of the Senate.
Couple it with her employment of that Chinese spy for 20 years and her defense of the Steele dossier, and an ugly Jurassic partisan hack picture emerges.
Even people on the left can see it. I've always been content voting for Feinstein, or at least held my nose and voted for her, given the crazed lefty alternatives we have seen on the California ballots. But this may be the end of it. Feinstein is being challenged by a crazed far leftist of the worst Sacramento-swamp stripe, leaving virtually no good alternatives for voters at midterms. Although many Republicans are flocking to that crazy rival of hers on the ballot, Kevin de León, it looks like write-in time for many normals. This woman has got to go.
BOXER, WHO NEVER GOT ONE BILL THROUGH CONGRESS IN ALL THE YEARS SHE SERVED THE SPECIAL INTERESTS, AMASSED A VAST FORTUNE FROM "campaign contribution" BRIBES SIPHONED OFF AS "CONSULTANT FEES" TO SON LAWYER DOUG BOXER.
Boxer: Kavanaugh ‘Transformed’ into ‘Someone Who You Could Now See Attacking a Woman’
Thursday on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” former Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) said today during his testimony, Supreme Court associate justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh transformed into “someone who you could now see attacking a woman.”
Boxer said, “Let me say, I think it was exhausting for everybody, and especially for women who have had this experience and for women who have had relationships with very angry men. And I think—I’ve listened to your commentary, I think you’re right, all of a sudden we see a man transformed from a choir boy who up until now has said after hours in front of the committee he lived this very perfect life, all of a sudden his anger is triggered and what we saw today is someone who you could now see attacking a woman. It is very frightening.”
She added, “I think your guest, who was so good, and said temperament is so important for who you put on the court. He not only showed the personality transformation. What do I think it will happen? We all know it is a few Republicans that hold this decision on their shoulders. I don’t know anyone who didn’t think that Dr. Ford was credible. And when she said I am 100% sure who this was, I believe her. It’s up to them. Do they believe her? And the last point I’ll make is if you are undecided, there is only one independent investigation, a FBI background check and frankly anyone who doesn’t support that doesn’t want to get to the truth and that includes Judge Kavanaugh.”
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images house Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) joined the list of Democrats using — or exploiting — Thursday’s hearing on sexual misconduct charges by Chrstine Blasey Ford against Judge Brett Kavanaugh to raise money.
In an email sent Thursday, as the hearing was still ongoing, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) blasted out a mass e-mail in Pelosi’s name (original emphasis):
It’s been one of the most taxing days of my life.
I am watching Trump and McConnell ram through Brett Kavanaugh to a lifetime on the Supreme Court.
I am watching every single Republican support them.
And I am vowing to myself today: I will do everything possible to defeat them.
Mark my words: We can — and WILL — punish these despicable Republicans and win a Democratic Congress that’ll render them powerless.
I need a massive surge of support before Sunday’s final End of Quarter Deadline to show the power of grassroots Democrats. I need 26,841 principled Democrats with me. It’s such an important moment, I’m personally quadruple-matching all gifts.
Can I count on your $1?
Pelosi is hoping to take over as Speaker of the House — again — if Democrats win the midterm elections in November. The party is hoping to use Ford’s accusations to turn female voters out in November.
The House has no role in the selection of judges, to the Supreme Court or at any other level, though Pelosi weighed in Thursday, attacking Republicans for using a female prosecutor to question Ford. Pelosi called prosector Rachel Mitchell a “hired woman.”
Also on Thursday, the campaign of Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, apologized for fundraising while Ford was testifying.

Formerly nicknamed "America's Dad," Bill Cosby – convicted of ugly sex offenses – will have incarceration as his life's epilogue.
Cosby is the first high-profile figure felled criminally in the era of #MeToo. This movement stretches back to 2006, when JustBe Inc. began the "me too Movement™"as a program to support women who have suffered sexual abuse. It took off as a cultural phenomenon with über-liberal actress Alyssa Milano's October 2017 tweet requesting that abuse survivors respond with the "me too" hashtag subsequent to the reporting of film producer Harvey Weinstein's prolific sexual misconduct. Nearly two million #MeToo tweets went out before the end of that month.
The #MeToo train gathered steam as other power brokers were called out for their indiscretions. The media and the political swamp took hits: Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, Al Franken, Eric Schneiderman. A new epoch of justice had emerged; the days of tacit acceptance of nasty behavior by powerful men came to an abrupt end. Even against those about whom claims of misconduct are questionable, the #MeToo hammer became a powerful bludgeon. Just ask Brett Kavanaugh.
It is really no surprise, then, that in the current climate, Bill Cosby finds himself in jail. This is not to suggest that Cosby is innocent of the charges; his case has been adjudicated twice, with the second trial resulting in a guilty verdict. Of note, however, is that the convicting jurors indicated in their closing statement that they "believed [Cosby's] accuser's account and [were] persuaded of his guilt by the facts, not the momentum of social change captured in the #MeToo movement."
Kudos to the jurors if they were able to put aside the pressure of #MeToo in rendering their decision. But unless this panel was composed of individuals whose technological savvy stopped with the telegraph, it is quite likely that, their protestations notwithstanding, #MeToo influenced (at least tacitly) the jurors' thinking.
Beyond #MeToo, racial identity politics is an inescapable consideration in the Cosby case, yet the New York Times reported:
"Not once were race or the #metoo movement ever discussed, nor did either factor into our decision, as implied in various media outlets," the jurors, whose names have not been released, said in the statement.
Maybe the jury was truly colorblind. But by overtly denying that they were affected by racial factors, methinks the jury doth protest too much. Would Cosby have been prosecuted – would the jury have convicted him – had he remained loyal to leftist racial politics? We can never know for sure, but the jury came from Allegheny County – which CNN called a "blue pocket of the post-industrial United States," having voted 58% for Democrat Conor Lamb in the March 2018 special election. It is not unreasonable to think a majority of the Cosby jurors were politically liberal.
The left repeatedly complains that America administers unequal justice for black men. Cosby's publicist, Andrew Wyatt, decried his client's sentence as the result of "the most racist and sexist trial" in American history. This is somewhat hyperbolic (Emmett Till's family might disagree with Wyatt's pronouncement), but in the age of NFL kneelers, it is unlikely that racial identity politics did not figure in Cosby's case.
What are we to make of a black male celebrity found guilty as charged while a cadre of similarly accused white notables (including the former POTUS, Bill Clinton) – who have been censured, fired, demoted, or ousted from office for the same type of bad behavior – have not faced criminal justice consequences? Current leftist orthodoxy would have us believe that "white privilege" has shielded Weinstein, et al. from prosecution, while Cosby's color led him to a criminal conviction. But the left has largely sat by idly in his case. Why? Because a form of racialism was dropped on the scales of justice against Cosby: that of a black American bucking the trend of liberal orthodoxy on race.
Cosby set himself up for abandonment by the left back in 2004, when he addressed the NAACP at a celebration commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision. In his remarks that evening, Cosby is quoted as saying:
In our cities and public schools we have fifty percent drop out. In our own neighborhood, we have men in prison. No longer is a person embarrassed because they're pregnant without a husband. No longer is a boy considered an embarrassment if he tries to run away from being the father of the unmarried child[.] ... In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. In the old days, you couldn't hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye. And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had one and where you got it from. Parents don't know that today. I'm talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was twelve? Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don't know he had a pistol? And where is his father, and why don't you know where he is? And why doesn't the father show up to talk to this boy?
Cosby's condemnation of the diminishing standards of conduct that he had observed in the black community tarnished his progressive credentials. On CNN with Don Lemon in 2013, Cosby dug his own hole deeper by bemoaning the rampant fatherlessness among black families while calling for more black men to proactively participate in family life and childrearing.
When criminal allegations began to surface in 2014, Cosby's stardom shielded him from immediate public outrage. But dozens of alleged victims came forward, making the feasibility of his guilt palatable in the court of public opinion. He survived a 2017 mistrial just before #MeToo reached its cultural apex, but in April 2018, Cosby was handed a guilty verdict.
The #MeToo movement has taken down several prominent libidinous scalawags, but outside Cosby, none of these liberal elites has been indicted for a sex crime. John Conyers, serving in Congress since 1965, was forced out of his House seat in December 2017 because of sexual harassment allegations, yet he has had no criminal charges filed against him. Why not? Could it be because Conyers, a black Democrat, has never strayed from liberal-progressive politics? None of the white scoundrels exposed by #MeToo has ever abandoned his progressive dogma, either.
Racial tension is characteristic of modern American politics. The left is openly hostile toward any black American in the public eye who encourages blacks to engage in free thinking, hold a positive view of Donald Trump, or express concern about the internal problems of the black community. Cosby had already slid into persona non grata status by being a black man willing to suggest that problems within black America are not exclusively the result of white racism. Had Cosby stayed within the bounds of racial grievance expected of black Americans, perhaps he would be living in uncomfortable ignominy rather than dreading his retirement in an orange jumpsuit.

In the circus that was the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford, we saw a woman with multiple degrees who is proud to know so very little about so much and who can't remember even recent things. I think that had I taken a polygraph test on the day after my grandmother's funeral, I would remember it. But not "Chrissy" – she is an empty abyss, down which all memories of any importance disappear. She can't remember "when" or "where," but she is 100% sure that it was Kavanaugh who assaulted her.
(Let's stop calling being groped "rape." It may be sexual assault, but it is not rape. To call it so cheapens the suffering of countless woman who throughout history were real victims of rape.)
The glasses were a nice touch, oversized to make her look childish, complementary to the tiny, childlike voice and the studied immaturity. She tried so hard to cry, but the tears just wouldn't come (at least not like Kavanaugh – probably because his were real). It was also genius to have her continually call Supreme Court nominee Judge Kavanaugh "Brett." It dispensed with his many achievements as well as making him seem like a close friend who betrayed her in the most heinous of ways.
Taking up six minutes of the first ten allotted Republican minutes to correct a letter she herself wrote was also brilliant. This Ford was prone to stalling.
Oh, and poor Christine, so afraid to fly, yet forced to traipse the globe on jets.
And now for her supporters and champions: they are the vanguard of the Democratic Party, including a woman who had a Chinese spy working for her for twenty years; a man who lied about serving in Vietnam; a guy who readily admits that at 17, he committed the very same crime they collectively were accusing Kavanaugh of (and who has a make-believe friend named T-Bone); a woman who began her political career by having an affair with Willie Brown; and a woman who, echoing rape apologists of the past, thinks men should "shut up" and take it.
Coincidentally, Blasey Ford's attorney's office once represented fellow accuser Julie Swetnick, of the now discredited gang-rape allegations, in a sexual harassment case she had against a former employer. Small world, isn't it?
These are the people who would sit in judgment of the rest of us.
Democrats are willing to surrender all pretense of morality in order to get what they want – and they do it with smiles on their faces and no concern for how much it costs anyone personally or the nation nationally. It's just that simple. Watch them for any amount of time, and you will feel as dirty as they claim Kavanaugh is, as they believe we are.
In the world they want us to live in, that they themselves refuse to live in, an accusation is supposed to be enough to ruin a man, a family, a reputation, and a career. Truth is unimportant. In fact, truth is an impediment, something to be ignored in service of the greater good, which is their good.
But Kavanaugh, he wouldn't take his destruction in stride like the good deplorable he is. He fought back – and splendidly, with admirable eloquence and compassion. He demanded the presumption of innocence, which in the Democrats' world is afforded only to other Democrats. It was rousing. It was dramatic. It was poignant.
It was also a disaster for the Democrats' dream of railroading an honorable man, guilty of nothing, who merely and nobly wants to serve this nation, and perhaps return it to the course set by the actual words written down in our Constitution, our founding document.
Select Republicans fought back as well. Most notable was Senator Graham, who had his "Have you no shame?" moment. It wasn't exactly Spartacus, but it was something to see and revel in.
The Democrats did themselves no favor by continually asking Kavanaugh to insist on an FBI investigation, apparently unaware that the entire country knows that it would mean another delay. Citizens also know that an investigation easily could have been completed in the time between when Feinstein received the letter and when, after it was leaked to destroy Ford's anonymity, she released it to the committee. Americans are not stupid; they know that Democrats want a delay until after the midterms, when, if they take the Senate, the Kavanaugh nomination can be killed and the seat held open until after the 2020 presidential election.
Ah, the leaking of the letter. Ford said only her attorneys and Feinstein had it. But who leaked it? Feinstein said, "It was not me." She said, "It was not my staff." Then, being the Democrat that she is, she suggested that perhaps Ford leaked it herself.
She threw the poor "rape" victim under the bus – just as any Democrat would do to you or me were any of us to get in his way. Woe to anyone who tries to separate the Democrats from power and the wealth that comes with it.
"Due process is the foundation of the American way of law," Kavanaugh said. It's too bad the Democrats believe that it applies only to them. We had better pay attention, because we could easily be next.

Hollywood Urges No Vote on Kavanaugh over ‘Entrenched Misogyny’: ‘Government Is an Abuser’
Hollywood celebrities from Amy Schumer to Alec Baldwin expressed outrage Friday as the Senate Judiciary Committee plans to vote on Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination.
Both Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, testified in a Senate hearing Friday. Kavanaugh stunned the nation with a passionate defense of himself and his reputation. Several celebrities sent social messages urging their followers to help stop the Senate Judiciary Committee vote to move Kavanaugh’s nomination forward.
“Respect to Doctor Ford for standing up and telling her story. For my family, my daughter and people who value the truth, you are a hero and on the right side of history,” actor Ben Stiller tweeted.
Respect to Doctor Ford for standing up and telling her story. For my family, my daughter and people who value the truth, you are a hero and on the right side of history.
Alec Baldwin chimed in, tweeting, “I hear @SenBobCorker is ready 2 vote 4 Kavanaugh. U can just picture the scenario. Big donors calling campaign finance directors. Implied threats. None of these men/women have an honest, sincere thought to share. They are bought and sold, everyday. The US Senate is a disgrace.”
Watch this clip and then ask yourself—is this an honest man? Does this man have nothing to him? Is this a man we want making decisions set before the Supreme Court?
This is hurtful and wrong. Everything about yesterday was unambiguous, as is the entrenched misogyny of these men. With a Key Vote Secured, Senators Will Advance Kavanaugh’s Nomination via @NYTimeshttps://nyti.ms/2Ip07B4?smid=nytcore-ios-share …
“Watch and get ready to vote #GOP out come November. With their refusal to have an FBI investigation or even to call the most important witness, Mark Judge, they have tainted this candidate forever. He’ll wind up just like #ClarenceThomas who NEVER spoke in public for 30 yrs,” Bette Midler tweeted, comparing Kavanaugh to Clarence Thomas.
Watch and get ready to vote #GOP out come November. With their refusal to have an FBI investigation or even to call the most important witness, Mark Judge, they have tainted this candidate forever. He'll wind up just like #ClarenceThomas who NEVER spoke in public for 30 yrs.
We have a judge who testified that an FBI investigation into an allegation of sexual assault isn’t necessary. A judge who Republicans nominated to be on the Supreme Court. If you are a woman, or you have a child, or you have a mother, a sister, call your senator today.
We #BelieveSurvivors and refuse to accept Brett Kavanaugh as our next Supreme Court Justice. Join us in making our voices heard Friday at noon local time. Find or host an event near you: https://www.cancelkavanaugh.com/
Remember the old footage of George Wallace grotesquely bellowing “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever”? That’s how history will view everyone of these reprehensible GOP senators voting yes, today. VOTE THEM ALL OUT!
Early risers in US: I’ve made a page where you can donate to the Democrat in every tossup Senate race this November. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/demsretakesenate … Kavanaugh hearing shows once again GOP Senators don’t care about women. We must flip Senate!! Give even $5. It’s easy! Please RT.
(1/2)OK PEOPLE. Do. Not. Stop CALLING. 1-K won’t call for FBI investigation to CLEAR his name. WHY? 2-Clear Partisan ideologue blaming payback from the Clintons for the hearings. 3- his raging, pivoting & disrespect toward @amyklobuchar. 4-Ford contacted her state rep B4
THIS If Brett Kavanaugh is named to the Supreme Court despite his dishonesty under oath, the Supreme Court will be illegitimate as long as he is on it.
Kudos to the jurors if they were able to put aside the pressure of #MeToo in rendering their decision. But unless this panel was composed of individuals whose technological savvy stopped with the telegraph, it is quite likely that, their protestations notwithstanding, #MeToo influenced (at least tacitly) the jurors' thinking.
Beyond #MeToo, racial identity politics is an inescapable consideration in the Cosby case, yet the New York Times reported:
