No, Senator Heidi Won't Be A Heroine, Just a Farting Hippo Falling On A Dull Sword

Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND)

Sen. Heidi Heitkamp shocked just about no one by announcing that she will vote NO to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. She's a red-state Democrat senator running for re-election facing a double digit lead by her opponent in a state DJT won by close to 40%. She's toast, but valiantly claims she will vote no "even if it cost her an election", one she probably knows she won't win anyway. Way to throw yourself on your sword there Heidi. 

The last week showed the dems on the national stage increasingly falling into disarray and chaos. Senator Heidi's decision may be just a Hail-Mary to the back of the end-zone and get her a few extra votes from the teachers union in Minot. But you can bet after the mid-terms she will be invited to all the talk shows, portrayed as a Bold Feminist Heroine and Great Defender of Women and Democracy who gave all for her country. Who knows, they may even name a rock in North Dakota in her honor or something. To be truthful, the few times I've seen this woman on TV she reminded me of every female prison guard I've seem in the movies, and she kinda made my skin crawl......

Come on North Dakota, send Heidi back to the Natural Gas Co. where she came from!

Sit Down, Spartacus.


Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has no meaningful cards left to play, so we get embarrassing verbose grandstanding and melodramatic cosplay by junior Senators.  This situation is of the making by the American left. They developed the doctrine, which magnified the political importance of the judiciary. They politicized and personalized the Court and the appointment process. They made ideology the primary qualification for a judicial appointment. They shattered institutional norms and precedents in pursuit of victory.

Republicans are now playing by the Left’s rules and winning. What we are seeing in Kavanuagh’s confirmation hearings is the visual manifestation of the Left’s impotence, for which they have only themselves to blame.

Protesters Paid In Cash To Disrupt Brett Kavanaugh Hearing

Author and commentator Adam W. Schindler interviews three Texas doctors who traveled to Washington D.C. to attend the confirmation hearings for Judge Brett Kavanaugh. While waiting on line, they say they witnessed protesters being paid in cash to cause trouble in the hearing and in the public line to get in, Tuesday on Capitol Hill. - See Video 



CBS News’ Nancy Cordes confirmed that Sen. Schumer held a conference call with Judiciary Committee democrats over the Labor Day weekend to discuss the strategy of grandstanding they deployed in a coordinated manner, interrupting the start of the hearing to call,one after the other, for a delay in the proceedings while protesters disrupted the proceedings from the back of the room.

That Popping Noise You Hear are Liberal Heads Exploding

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy Retiring 

In a statement, the Supreme Court said the 81-year-old Kennedy will step down effective July 31. The judge called it "the greatest honor and privilege to serve our nation in the federal judiciary for 43 years, 30 of those years in the Supreme Court." Kennedy wants to spend more time with his family, even though they were content with him staying on the court. 
- CNBC

Placed on Suicide Watch:
Daily Beast - The judicial apocalypse is here, and there’s nothing Democrats can do to stop it.
Salon- A clear warning that our most cherished values are in jeopardy, and now hang in the balance. 
Splinter - F*ck, F*ck, F*ck, F*ck,F*ck
Democratic Underground - Gloom Despair And Agony On Me 
And of course this from the left's sleaziest loony bin, 'Wonkette' - Go F*ck Yourself Anthony Kennedy

Happy Retirement.

Reason #283 Why Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.


Monday the Supreme Court made a narrow ruling that a Colorado baker’s religious rights were violated when the state civil rights commission showed zealous hostility towards the baker's religion after they refused to bake a cake for a rump ranger wedding. The reaction from the left was that the Supreme Court had taken a step towards legalized gay discrimination! (they didn't) I know, was shocked too. Liberals are usually so rational and even keeled. The decision was 7-2, meaning that 2 liberal Justices agreed with it. That poses a problem for the psyche of leftist. They care nothing of people’s religious freedom or consider it something that is protected by the Constitution.

Believing the gay minority just got run over, those deep thinkers at the lefty website Vox have come up with a solution to just this problem, if having the Supreme Court rule on Constitutional issues is a problem. Vox wants to straight up diminish the authority of Supreme Court.

Yes, this is really dumb leftist thought. It's Vox:
"Majority rule can lead to abuse of minorities, justifying judicial protection of minorities, but how do we ensure that the Court both protects the minorities who really need protection, and does so in a way that allows majority interests to prevail when they ought to? The Court’s answer, “trust us,” is increasingly out of place in an era of populist rejection of elite rule." 
"A democratic system for protecting the rights of minorities is desperately needed. We describe here a voting system that does just that — by allowing citizens to vote in proportion to the strength of their interests. It would be simultaneously more democratic and less vulnerable to the trampling of rights than the options currently on the table, and it would not involve elite interventions in politics through judicial review...."
This Vox-splainer is a really long droning piece but the basic gist is that there would be no more need for Supreme Court in these kind of cases, and minorities who have an interest in a social issue would be allowed to vote for it in a national referendum system. Other examples of resolutions: gay people's vote would weigh more on gay issues and anti-gun nuts vote would weigh more on gun control bills, etc. 

The geniuses at Vox are complaining our system is unjust by offering a solutions that is even more unfair. I’m serious, this is what they are pushing. Read it for yourself.

Have you noticed how when rules and systems that are fair to everyone move against liberal interests they suddenly become unfair and must be abolished? Hillary Clinton won the popular vote but lost the Electoral College and now the left has decided the EC is unfair and unAmerican. Now the Supreme Court makes a ruling that the left doesn’t even understand, but because it seems like it ruled against gay people (it didn’t) the SC has to go too.

Well, He Did Swear to" Tell The Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth"........


After three hours of listening to pontificating senators drone on, it was finally Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch’s turn to say a few words at his confirmation hearing on Monday.  Gorsuch was sworn “to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,” and after thanking his colleagues, friends, and the president, he said a few words about his wife: 
“Mr. Chairman, I could not even attempt to do this without Louise, my wife of more than 20 years. The sacrifices she has made and her open and giving heart leave me in awe.” 
His voice caught a bit when he looked back at her and said: “I love you so much.”
That brought Louise Gorsuch out of her seat.   

This unexpected loving moment was brought to you by the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court .......and me thinks someone may just get lucky tonight.
