Daily Caller  "Justice Brett Kavanaugh has hired a black law clerk for his new chambers at the U.S. Supreme Court, matching Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s record of African-American clerkship hiring during her tenure on the nation’s highest judicial tribunal.

"With his first clerkship hires, Kavanaugh also set a gender composition record, an apparent attempt to buck the high court’s hiring patterns, which tend to favor white, male graduates of elite law schools.

"Since joining the high court in 1993, Ginsburg has hired over 100 law clerks, just one of whom is black.

"Ginsburg’s hiring practices have been criticized for decades. During her 1993 confirmation hearings, GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah asked Ginsburg if a court might reasonably conclude that a small business in a majority black city that hired 57 white employees and zero black employees over a period of years was discriminatory. Ginsburg dodged, before Hatch pointed out that was in fact her own record of clerkship hiring in her 13 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

“ 'I will try harder, and if you confirm me for this job my attractiveness to black candidates is going to improve,” Ginsburg replied, to much laughter throughout the hearing chamber. (RELATED: Confirmed: Brett Kavanaugh Is Now A Supreme Court Justice)

"Kavanaugh’s new clerks are Shannon Grammel, Megan Lacy, Sara Nommensen and Kim Jackson. These hires set a record in a second respect: Kavanaugh is the first Supreme Court justice to hire an all female class of clerks.

"A 2017 study published in the National Law Journal found that 85 percent of all Supreme Court clerks between 2005 and 2017 were white, and approximately two-thirds were male.

"Just hours after the Senate narrowly confirmed the new justice, Kavanaugh was sworn in Saturday by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy in a private, intimate ceremony at the court. He quietly began work on Sunday, taking over a suite of offices formerly occupied by Justice Samuel Alito."

To Understand Christine Blasey Ford, Take a look at Palo Alto University

The feminists of the left will "rule or ruin", according to Mr GingrichYoutube "I went to PAU for grad school, not knowing much about it, other than it’s a place I can pursue a clinical counseling degree. If you’re someone who is open minded, yet conservative, the professors of this school will silence you. I’ve been called “a man” in a derogatory way by a white female professor. I’ve been told that even though I’m not white, I can still have white privilege - I was told this by a white, male professor. Go figure. I agree with this video "

"Watch this 30 second video where Nancy Pelosi explains about how they will construct a smear, and then they “merchandise” it by getting the media to report their lie, which then gives them the cover to use the media article as their tool in their smear campaign."

Hillary's now on @MSNBC talking abt the need for an FBI "investigation" of Ford's

Leftist demonic rage on display

. . . "Our Constitution means nothing to the hard-left protesters.  Sure, they're quick to point out their civil rights of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, but their tactics are anything but civil, and they cherish excerpts of the Constitution only when they agree with it or when they can pervert the interpretation of it with their ideology." . . .

WRITER For Late Night's Stephen Colbert: “I’m Just Glad We Ruined Kavanaugh’s Life”

100% FedUp  "Yesterday, Ariel Dumas, a writer for CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” tweeted about how no matter the outcome, she was grateful that the Left was able to ruin Judge Kavanaugh’s life."

“Whatever happens, I’m just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh’s life,” the writer, Ariel Dumas, posted on Twitter. Dumas later briefly made her account private, preventing others from viewing her posts without her approval.

. . . "Kate Sidley another writer for the leftist, political hack, Stephen Colbert, came forward to defend Dumas, calling anyone who questioned what kind of person would say such a horrible thing a “monster”." . . .

The Left’s unfounded attacks on Brett Kavanaugh and his family, in an attempt to destroy his chances of becoming a Supreme Court Justice, may be the worst miscalculation the Democrat Party has made since they believed Hillary would win in a landslide…

Kavanaugh and the 'cold civil war'

Regrettably, there is the decided likelihood that the Left’s propensity for violence will continue to escalate in proportion to its rhetoric. When Collins is libeled viciously as a “rape apologist” and the entire Republican Party is defamed as “Rape-Publicans,” why would any virtue signaling narcissist resist (even if they could) the incited urge to attack such villains? If you think these people would always resist the lesser angels of their natures, feel free to acquaint yourself with the video of the young pro-life lady being kicked by the “feminist” left-wing goon. 

Rick Moran  "In the years leading up to the Civil War, the divisions between north and south became so irreconcilable that members of congress would arrive on the chamber floor armed with pistols. At one point, Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner was brutally beaten with a cane as he sat in his chair in the senate. It wasn't just that emotions ran high. It was that both sides began to see the other as aliens - citizens of a different country.

We aren't there - yet. But we can easily see a day in the not too distant future where political violence will become commonplace and instead of screaming at each other and insulting one another, left and right could come to blows.

"Former Rep. Thaddeus McCotter penned a thoughtful essay in American Greatness about this "cold civil war."

Realizing politics is part of life, one side believes America is fundamentally a good country requiring some prudent improvements upon which reasonable minds may differ. On the other side, the Left, thinking politics is life, believes America is a hopelessly unjust nation requiring “fundamental transformation” and this is a point on which no reasonable minds can differ.

The Kavanaugh confirmation evinces the political abyss between us; and the bathetic depths to which this divide drives the Left to “win.”

"Driving this maniacal desire to "win," is what we used to call a "false consciousness" - the belief in a reality that simply doesn't exist. Everything and everybody who say anything to disagree find their words exaggerated and blown out of proportion until all meaning is lost.

Regrettably, there is the decided likelihood that the Left’s propensity for violence will continue to escalate in proportion to its rhetoric. When Collins is libeled viciously as a “rape apologist” and the entire Republican Party is defamed as “Rape-Publicans,” why would any virtue signaling narcissist resist (even if they could) the incited urge to attack such villains?

Senator’s Wife Receives HORRIFIC Text From Unhinged Lunatic After Kavanaugh Vote

The Federalist Papers  "Republican Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado revealed that his wife received a text message with a video showing a beheading, and someone doxxed his family members:

In the wake of his vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Saturday, Republican Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., revealed to Fox News on Sunday that his wife had received a graphic text message with a video depicting a beheading, and that someone has publicly posted the names and addresses of his family members.

Gardner announced his support for Kavanaugh in July, and reaffirmed it after reviewing the supplemental FBI report into uncorroborated sexual misconduct allegations against him.

Late last month, Gardner received a letter from an anonymous individual apparently in Denver, alleging that Kavanaugh had “shoved” someone up against a wall “very aggressively and sexually” during an outing in 1998 in front of four witnesses. The allegation was later deemed not to be credible.

“Every victim of abuse, assault, and violence has been through an unspeakable tragedy and we need to do a better job listening to them, ensuring support is available, and fighting to end abuse of any kind,” Gardner said in a statement prior to receiving the graphic text messages. “I hope that the partisan divide we all feel today does not hinder the people that have bravely come forward.”

Kavanaugh, his wife Ashley, and his accuser Christine Blasey Ford have also all received numerous death threats in recent days.

"The reaction was immediate:" . . .

Hillary Clinton is still finding ways to denigrate democracy

It is impossible for me to respect those who still want this woman as president. Clinton is the one whom the Russians should want as POTUS because her "reset button" showed she can be so easily be played by America's adversaries. TD

NY Post  . . . "Here is how The New York Times began its slanted coverage: “In a remarkable statement that seemed to cast doubt on American democracy, Donald J. Trump said Wednesday that he might not accept the results of next month’s election if he felt it was rigged against him — a stand that Hillary Clinton blasted as ‘horrifying.’ ”

After noting that no modern president refused to accept election results, the paper quoted Clinton attacking Trump.

“ 'Let’s be clear about what he is saying and what that means,” she said. “He is denigrating — he is talking down our democracy. And I am appalled that someone who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that position.”

"She added, “That is not the way our democracy works.”

"Fast forward to now, and it is the height of irony — and hypocrisy — that Clinton and her supporters, including the Times, still refuse to accept the election’s outcome. It started with her flimsy claims of Russian collusion and continues uninterrupted, with the character assassination campaign against Brett Kavanaugh the latest example.

"Thank God, the assassins were unsuccessful in preventing a superbly qualified jurist and widely respected man from joining the Supreme Court. But they did lasting damage to Kavanaugh’s reputation, his family, the court, the Senate and the entire country.

"Willing to destroy any part of government they cannot corrupt with partisanship, members of the self-declared resistance are tearing America apart because the election didn’t go their way. They have unleashed a whirlwind of fanatical hate, with violence now routinely threatened and sometimes carried out." . . .

The CNN headline I never thought I’d see

Thomas Lifson  "Here’s a CNN headline and news story I never thought I’d see:

President Donald Trump’s Winning Streak

(CNN)—Donald Trump may have never had a better time being President.

Only a re-election party on the night of November 3, 2020, could possibly offer the same vindication for America’s most unconventional commander in chief as the 36 hours in which two foundational strands of his political career are combining in a sudden burst of history. . .

There is more evidence than the soon-to-be reshaped Supreme Court and the roaring economy to make a case that Trump is building a substantial presidency that in many ways looks like a historic pivot point, despite its extremely controversial nature.

Largely unnoticed in the Washington imbroglio over sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh, the Trump administration is engineering significant changes at home and abroad that often represent sharp revisions of direction from traditional American positions. . .

[I]t’s also no longer possible to credibly argue — despite the distracting blizzard of controversy, busted decorum and staff chaos constantly lashing Washington — that there is not something significant taking place that is changing the political and economic character of the nation itself.

Trump said we’d get tired of all the winning, but I’m not tired yet.

"It's not exactly signs and wonders territory, but the Age of Trump is normalizing some phenomena we didn't think we would ever see."

Starting with chasing ISIS out of the territory Obama gave them. TD

Georgetown gives 'castrate their corpses' prof a paid vacation

Which again raises the question: Why are they protecting her? I can only speculate what I speculated last time, that she's obviously a valuable property to them, given that they might imagine she will be appointed a Democratic Party administration's National Security Advisor and they want her onboard to be a feather in their cap as well as a source of jobs for their leftwing grads.

Christine Fair.

Monica Showalter  "Nice work if you can get it.

"Seems that Georgetown University's charming figurehead, Provost's Distinguished Professor Christine Fair, the one who made headlines with her public call to 'castrate the corpses' of white male Senators who supported Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, following her wish for their 'miserable deaths,' is getting a paid vacation instead of a pink slip.

"Here is what Campus Reform had out:

Georgetown University Associate Professor Christine Fair is now on “research leave” after making incendiary statements about Republican politicians on her blog as well as on social media. 

Fair entered the spotlight after Campus Reform reported on her profanity-laden tweets in which she suggested that white GOP senators "deserved miserable deaths while feminists laugh." Fair also publicly attacked Campus Reform correspondents on her blog,Tenacious Hellpussy, after being contacted for a statement.

"Now normally, in the real work world, if you embarass your employer with your disgusting public statements, you get some kind of sanction. You get fired. You get privileges docked. The alumni donations dry up, the kids accepting admissiondon't show up, and the university public relations department gets stuck working overtime after all, and you become a liability. Your worth to them is below your cost. Plenty of such professors have received this fate, as I noted here.

"It's understandable, and it's perfectly normal." . . .

o apparently you can call for the deaths of Republican Senators and the consequence is you get to travel for the university.

Too bad Mike Dukakis did not exhibit emotions like Judge Kavanaugh showed us

Full disclosure: Mike Dukakis is the last Democrat I voted for. I left the party after hearing Sen Hillary tell Gen. Petraeus she doubted his honesty, that it required a willing "suspension of disbelief". Explained in the right sidebar of the Tunnel Wall. The Tunnel Dweller

SOUNDS THAT BITE: Dukakis' Deadly Response

"Massachusetts Governor Mike Dukakis didn't exactly charm his way into voters' hearts during the 1988 debates with his response about whether he would support the death penalty should his wife, Kitty, be raped and murdered. A longtime opponent of the death penalty, Dukakis responded to the startling question from CNN's Bernard Shaw, "No, I don't, Bernard, and I think you know that I've opposed the death penalty during all of my life. I don't see any evidence that it's a deterrent and I think there are better and more effective ways to deal with violent crime." While some criticized the fairness of the question, to viewers the answer seemed both dispassionate and dismissive." . . .

The Benevolent Technocrat:  . . . "An analysis of the questions and answers that Dukakis gave showed that the image he was trying to project, that of a benevolent technocrat, was disastrous. He showed no emotion and feeling, he did not muster outrage at the hypothetical rape and murder of his wife, and he was unable to portray himself as a leader. "  . . .
Too bad Mike Dukakis didn't show the emotion that Judge Kavanaugh showed over the treatment of him and his family.

Brett Kavanaugh Is A Better Human Being Than Senate Dems, So He Must Be Destroyed
. . . "Brett Kavanaugh is a boy scout compared to the people judging him on the Senate Judiciary committee. That might make some Republicans squirm slightly but they can deal with that. The Democrats flat out can’t stand that and they need to flat out humiliate and destroy him.

"So when a person with such outstanding personal qualities is being treated like this by Senators who lauded colleagues such as Ted Kennedy, Al Franken and Bill Clinton, you have to take a step back and wonder what in the hell is going on.

"I believe they have to destroy anyone who is everything they demand in a person but don’t really want on the court unless they worship the 1973 Roe v Wade decision.

"We can’t let them win."

Update: Blast from the past about Obama and Dukakis:

Conservative Commentary on the Kavanaugh hearings

The other woman

Democrats' big miscalculation: Conservative women like me won't abandon Brett Kavanaugh  . . . "Many conservative women detest the McCarthyite tone of the proceedings; we feel sickened by the sight of crowds of college girls ripping up pro-Kavanaugh posters; we are worried as mobs chant, “We believe survivors!” (What if Ford is not truly a “survivor”? Don’t we have to establish whether she’s a survivor first?)" . . .
. . . "This article confirms what I've been seeing on a purely social basis.  My analysis is not a poll, but rather just plain conversation, from talking to people at church, over coffee, waiting at the bank, and so on.

"People grow angry when they see an injustice on the level of destroying a man and his family.

"The Democrats clearly overplayed their hand.  They never anticipated that women would be angry at them.  Maybe they will show up to vote and express their discontent.  I hope so!" . . .  This article links to the following commentary in USA Today:

"The Democratic Party's war on men" . . .
. . . "We know that college campuses have been a nightmare for young men for years as unfair panels established to judge alleged sex abuse have proliferated — aided and abetted by President Barack Obama’s threat to withdraw federal funds for universities that weren’t swift enough in establishing these faux courts. 
. . . 
"We know that popular culture created in the salons of the East Coast relentlessly portray men as bumbling idiots, as children. And we bleed for our sons and husbands and brothers who have been scarred by these relentless attacks.". . . Just watch your average TV commercial.
. . . "How about a movement called “Not In Our Name”? It’s time everybody — from lawmakers tempted to make policy that they think will placate women to our male brothers who increasingly are saying they’re afraid to hire and even date women — to know that "the women who won’t put on the pink hat" are out there in big numbers."

How to Prevent Another Kavanaugh Circus  . . . "If the next Christine Blasey Ford has information, she must volunteer it to the committee by a pre-set cutoff date.

"Next, Senator Feinstein must undergo an FBI investigation into how Ford's letter found its way to the media.  At the same time, she must undergo a Senate Ethics Committee review, with the possibility of being removed from the Judiciary Committee.  This would remove her reward, taking the piggy bank she craves away.  If she were demoted to "just another senator," Feinstein would lose her reason to be in the Senate.

"With Feinstein gone, another Democrat would take her place, since for the time being, California is locked in the throes of a leftist coup.  But that Democrat would think twice about pulling a stunt like Feinstein did.  Not having the benefits of your seat is as bad as not having your seat."

Conservative students holding a pro-Kavanaugh demonstration at the University of Texas-Austin were met by liberal counter-protesters.

If Christine Ford's lawyer needs a lawyer, the fat lady's singing  . . . "I am betting on today's FBI to begin at the top to rebuild and regain its honor.  The special agents in the field are still a national treasure.  The top leadership ranks in the Obama administration are the ones who lost their moral compass, along now with those working with Dr. Ford." . . .

Regarding the temperament of Judge Kavanaugh...  . . . "Just a job interview?

Where the job is an advancement in a large organization where you have worked for years with dignity and competence.Where the executive position for which you are recommended suddenly brings half the board members to immediately oppose you in every way they can and call you evil.Where the job interview lasts several weeks or months and is a public spectacle.Where half the board members lie in wait to spring surprise accusations rather than show they are interested in knowing the truth.Where opposing board members welcome the most vile accusations and act as if they have merit even when reason dictates otherwise.Where opposing board members put forth the ridiculous and offensive argument that you, as the accused, must prove that you are innocent.Where if you fail to secure the position, your life and your family are turned upside-down and ruined.

"This is not just a job interview.  It never was just a job interview, and it became much more and much worse than a case of the Senate performing its role to advise and consent on the president's nomination.  The opposing and unworthy senators made sure of that."
