Picking a Supreme Court justice is no laughing matter, especially when it comes to replacing a swing vote on the court. That’s why most of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s remarks on Monday were a short introduction and summation of his judicial philosophy — something we’ll get to know a lot more about in the coming weeks.
But there were definite moments of levity in Kavanaugh’s nomination speech — particularly when it came to his family.
The jokes came as he was introducing voters to explain who he is, particularly when it came to his background. – READ MORE
[divider][/divider]Who Trump picked mattered so little to the Left that they literally started without him. Long before Trump strode into the White House East Room on Monday night to name Appeals Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh as his nominee, the Women’s March put out this release: “In response to Donald Trump’s nomination of XX to the Supreme Court of the United States, the Women’s March released the following statement … ” That’s right: They just put a couple of Xs in there as placeholders.
At noon on Monday — nine hours before Trump’s announcement — Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) put out a statement announcing he would oppose the nomination. No, Casey would not carefully weigh the selection, as voters had elected him to do. He wouldn’t hear Kavanaugh out, ask probing questions, then make a considered judgment. Quoting Lincoln, Casey said he “was not elected to genuflect to the hard Right, who are funded by corporate America.” Ah, corporate America, that evil entity that employs 90% of Americans. What scum.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, charged with helping the party win back the Senate, joined the fray. “Kavanaugh is a far-right conservative who is known to be hostile to women’s rights and prioritizes corporations over people,” the group said in an email.
And the DSCC wanted one thing: Money. “Chip in $1 to help elect Senate Democrats,” said the email.
Tom Perez, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, wanted a bit more.
“Chip in $3 to help Democrats regain a majority in the Senate this November. The only way it will be possible is if we work together — starting right now,” he wrote. “You better believe that with Brett Kavanaugh on the bench, Roe v. Wade, affordable health care, labor unions, and civil rights will all be on the chopping block,” he said. – READ MORE
