Elections Have Consequence

During the 2016 presidential election, voters made their decision. Millions of Americans supported Donald Trump and many may have voted for him with reluctance.

Many decided the other choice was far worse for the country. And in that election, a Supreme Court nomination would be a priority. One candidate  discussed it at great lengths and built his platform around it. One candidate did not. Hillary Clinton's history  led the majority of the Electoral College supported voters to vote FOR Trump AND against the Democrat.

You know the current big story I am sure.... Brett Kavanaugh is nominated to be a Supreme Court justice by President Donald Trump in the summer of 2018. In early September, Kavanaugh was interviewed by many Senators from both parties in their offices. Then there were 3 days of grueling questions and grandstanding by Senators on the Judiciary Committee. The hearings closed, and votes for confirmation were scheduled. Then Senator Diane Feinstein exposed a letter she had received in EARLY SUMMER. Weeks prior to the one on one interviews and the hearings. The letter was from a California woman claiming the Kavanaugh sexually threatened her...... in HIGH SCHOOL 30+ years in the past.

And the stall was on. See the Democrats are sure they are winning back the House and Senate in November. They want to stall his nomination long enough to request that his confirmation be held off until the "new" congress takes over in 2019. (See Merrick Garland)  Why else would Senator Feinstein hold on to the letter during the one on one interviews AND the 3 days of hearings.

The behavior of the Democrats in this process is frustrating. They will ignore many related current issues currently under investigation (Keith Ellis) and put all of their last minute marbles on the words of one woman from 30+ years ago. Look, I do not know if it happened or not. And based on all that she CANNOT remember about the incident how can she be sure WHO the incident happened with. Or if it happened at all. But it may have. Until actual evidence or witnesses are discovered then they are willing to destroy a mans life and career over the word of one? One that has a history of activism in support of the Democrat party.

Seems like a last minute stall to me. I say give her an offer to appear, if she refuses then HOLD THE CONFIRMATION VOTE. The time to worry about the balance on the Supreme Court is BEFORE the election. And everyone on both sides should look at the map above and remember this......


Elections have consequences... and this is a big one.
