How judicial nominees and appointees grasp the relationship between their judicial duty and the doctrine of stare decisis causes much consternation. This issue is a device of convenience having little meaning in the currently legislatively active judiciary.
Kavanaugh
Call Amy Coney Barrett ACB, – The Left Hates That and They Hate this Too!
Democrats have a problem. Her name is Amy Coney Barrett (ACB). Mr. Trump’s latest nominee for the Supreme Court appears to be the perfect foil to their tactics. She’s smart and well respected across the political spectrum in the legal community. And regarded as by far more than qualified for the job.
Attacking the SCOTUS Nominee or Attacking the Constitution?
Are the Democrats attacking the SCOTUS nominee or attacking the Constitution? President Trump probably makes his SCOTUS nomination today. He has the responsibility to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
US Senate Confirming MORE Judges Nominated by Trump

New York Times Corrects Another Brett Kavanaugh Story
Okay, we all make mistakes. We all get it wrong sometimes. But the New York Times is literally burning its credibility with stories about Brett Kavanaugh.
The Media mask is openly dropping – it’s only on whose ox is being gored
With Kavanaugh The Washington Post ran with the uncorroborated crap. And now they are trying to take “the high road?” Trying to appear to be “objective” (with Dem. Justin Fairfax). They had no such “objectivity” for Kavanaugh who was perceived by the Left to be an existential threat to their control of the Judiciary (better … Read more
When Jeanne Shaheen talks about “bipartisanship”
Shaheen hopes election leads to bipartisanship Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said the Democrats’ victory to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives shows “there are a lot of people who have not been happy with what’s going on in Washington.”…Voters on Election Day also showed “what they want to see is a check on this … Read more
Never Let Them See You Cry
Well, the smoke of the Kavanaugh campaign battlefield has cleared a bit and we are now conducting after-action reports. One of the purposes of such a report is to gauge both ours and the enemy’s strengths, weaknesses, acquisitions and damages as a result of the battle, to conclude their current operational status. A key gauge … Read more
The Pence Rule – Vindicated!
And the GREAT thing about it is that the US Senate Democrats proved Pence was absolutely correct without any prodding. They just went out and did it by themselves.

Should We Call it the Feinstein Effect?
You’ve heard of the Streisand Effect. Wikipedia defines it as “a phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely.” Streisand sued a photographer working on a coastal erosion project for posting a picture of her home online. Before Babs outrage, six … Read more
Hassan’s Doxxing (Former) Staffer Used Maggie’s Senate Offices To do The Deed
Yesterday, Dave Solomon added to the story that broke October 3rd when a former Staffer of New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan was arrested by Capitol Police for releasing sensitive private information about Republican Senators during the Kavanaugh Hearing. Jackson Cosko, 27, has been charged with publishing restricted personal information, witness tampering, threats in interstate communications, … Read more
No Justice. No Peace.
The vote is tomorrow. Finally. Light the fuse and see what level of childish tantrum the Leftists have up their sleeves. Kavanaugh may not be the perfect Justice – and we can only hope he won’t operate at the same level as John Sununu’s “Home Run” nominee David Souter – but time will certainly tell. … Read more
If it floats…
Senator Lindsey Graham may have inadvertently tapped into the Democrats’ new strategy for discrediting Judge Brett Kavanaugh (or the nominee Trump presents next when Ruth Bader Ginsburg (age 85) punches out later this year). Plan-A: Falsely accuse the nominee of sexual misconduct 30+ years ago (failed) Plan-B: Character assassination for behavior (drinking beer) 30+ years … Read more
Voting Enthusiasm Poll: A combo of “They have brought us upon themselves” and
The Law of Unintended Consequences with Obama’s (yes, he’s still a thing) “I won”? US Senate Democrats (along with loose coordination with their allies in the MSM and Progressive organizations) have overplayed their hand with the absolutely disgusting tactics they have used against Judge Kavanaugh and other Conservatives (e.g., made up allegations that can’t be … Read more
Dartmouth “Prosecutes” A Lot Like Senate Democrats
Democrats in the U.S. Senate are sending you a message. The college campus tactics of guilty until proven innocent have been elevated to nominees for the highest court in the land. That means that if you were to accidentally stumble in front of one of their Social Justice Equity-mobiles they would run you down like (we’re … Read more
Republicans must not cower in the face of Democratic treachery
From the very beginning, Democratic lawmakers made it clear they intended to oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court. Deeply enmeshed in the resistance movement and anti-Trump hysteria, the rationale for their opposition is clear. Kavanaugh is a conservative judge, nominated by a president they revile. Their desperation to derail his nomination was made apparent during the recent chaotic confirmation hearings.
Nothing was disclosed during those hearings that disqualified Judge Kavanaugh, and to the contrary, objective viewers perceived him as an eminently qualified nominee, of the highest moral character.
A commentary on Liberals and Kavanaugh by Kurt Schlichter
I can’t always pull quotes or adequately summarize his Townhall columns but they are really amusing and will become part of my contributions to Grok 3.0 “Around the Web” (or as Steve calls it: “Stuff we’d like to blog about but haven’t had the time,” which I think is a more descriptive title). So here he is in his own video podcast, “TAKE THAT! with Kurt Schlichter” on the Democrat agenda of personal destruction aimed at Conservatives:
Was This Kavanaugh Hearing Protester Paid to “Play?”
This is making its way around so we figured we’d ask our readers for their thoughts.
At the Senate hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, this woman screamed about stopping Kavanaugh from being approved. Made a scene. You know the drill.
Make sure the cameras catch it so the media can milk its pre-defined narratives for the Democrats to work. Complete with an actual payoff?
