The Constitution scares the left.
Via Fox News:
The Senate Judiciary Committee’s confirmation hearing on Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court finally wrapped up Friday, paving the way for his virtually certain confirmation by the full Senate later this month – despite frenzied attempts by Trump-hating Democrats to stop the president from seating a second justice on the high court.
The committee is expected to vote Sept. 20 to confirm the highly qualified judge, who is now on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The full Senate is expected to confirm Kavanaugh the following week, so he can be seated on the high court when it begins its new term Oct. 1.
Many people have compared the judge’s confirmation hearing, which began Tuesday, to a circus. The hearing was disrupted repeatedly by Democratic senators and screaming protesters.
The protesters were removed by Capitol Police every few minutes. The Democratic senators who interrupted, lectured and hectored Kavanaugh stayed in the hearing room and kept up their attacks for as long as they could.
At one point it felt like it would have been perfectly normal for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to come rolling down the main aisle of the hearing room in a clown car, honking wildly before hopping out and dousing Kavanaugh with water from a squirt gun.
The Democrats made lame attempts to trip up Kavanaugh on a number of issues, but the judge patiently and calmly listened to insults and absurd questions and held his own.
Two of the worst offenders were Democratic Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey. Both were insulting and rude to Kavanaugh, as they clearly auditioned for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination by showing how opposed they were to President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee.
We’ve now discovered that the most dangerous place to be in Washington is between Harris and a TV camera. And we’ve learned that Booker has delusions that he’s a modern-day Spartacus – a brave gladiator rebelling against tyranny and injustice – although the stunt he staged blew up in his face.
There was a reason for all of this spectacle. The left has finally awakened to what its members see as a horrifying reality: they are losing control for perhaps a generation or more of the Supreme Court, their favorite vehicle for expanding the administrative state.
