For Dems, holding SCOTUS matters more than the Midterms
It isn’t difficult to understand why the Democrats went all-in on this Kavanaugh smear so close the Midterm elections.
They had to.
Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation will give the SCOTUS an originalist majority for the first time in decades.
And SCOTUS matters more to the Democrats than even winning elections.
Because, let’s face it, the Left has never relied on elections to move the ball forward.
As Rush Limbaugh pointed out yesterday, probably eighty percent of the Left’s agenda in the last fifty years has been forced on the American people through the Supreme Court.
They are unable to get what they want through the legislative process.
As a result they are wholly dependent upon SCOTUS imposing their agenda on the American people through judicial fiat.
This is the motive behind the Kavanaugh smear.
Sure, they’ll give Trump Gorsuch because Gorsuch was replacing one originalist for another.
But Kavanaugh is replacing Kennedy. So he had to be destroyed.
Yesterday, when I posted about former Clinton spokesman and phony tough guy Brian Fallon, I included a tweet he sent out Thursday morning.
There will not be any "Brett bump" for the Supreme Court's legitimacy in the wake of this nomination process. Quite the opposite.

This is nonsense. It’s whistling past the graveyard.
To even think for a moment that the Democrats’ attempted character assassination of Brett Kavanaugh will not have a ripple effect among voters is wishful thinking at best.
And I don’t even think Senate Democrats believe Fallon’s bull.
The Democrats are fully aware that they are risking electoral defeat in November with this smear campaign.
But they had no choice.
At the end of the day, maintaining control of the Supreme Court is more important to them than the Midterms.
Keeping their slim majority on SCOTUS is the hill on which they are willing to destroy their chances at the ballot box.
Because if they lose the Supreme Court, the Left’s control over this country and its culture is obliterated.
If it were true that this coordinated smear campaign would be a boon to Democrats, something tells me, Trump’s approval rating wouldn’t be going up.

Even more importantly:
Today’s @realDonaldTrump approval ratings among black voters: 35%.

Yeah. Thirty-five percent approval among black voters.
And, it get worse.
One for the contrarians out there…

The Democrats bet big because they cannot lose the Supreme Court.
ND Senator Heidi Heitkamp is willing to fall on her sword and commit electoral suicide just to vote NO on Kavanaugh. That’s how desperate the Democrats are to maintain their hold over SCOTUS.
And in the end, that bet may have them losing both SCOTUS and the Midterms.
Despite all hands on deck, despite the news media and Hollywood’s willingness to assist in the smear campaign, in all likelihood, Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed this weekend.
Who am I kidding?
It isn’t “despite” that. It’s because of that.
That’s what they do not understand.
It’s Newton’s Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
They went all-in thinking Republicans would immediately fold.
Instead, Senate Republicans called their bluff.
For Pete’s sake, Lindsey Graham has turned into a pitbull. Who could have seen that coming?
I’ve said before, the Democrats’ smear of Kavanaugh had to garner success within the first hail of bullets. It was a dirty bluff — a sneak attack with nothing to back it up.
And because the Republicans called the bluff, the smear fell apart under the mildest scrutiny.
As a result, this shameless and baseless smear has left an electoral fallout that will hover over the Democrats come November.
They didn’t just enrage Senate Republicans; they’ve enraged voters.
So desperate are they to keep hold of SCOTUS, the Democrats ripped off their mask and revealed to the American people just how craven, disgusting, vicious and anti-American they really are.
And despite Brian Fallon’s wishful thinking, the blowback from this gamble is going to be brutal.
Conservative/populist coalition needed something outside of Trump to coalesce around. Kavanagh was catalyst—b/c of how they perceive he was treated not just by Democrats but media & Hollywood. As we wrote in #thegreatrevolt this coalition tired of how they are treated by all 3 pic.twitter.com/fLnQGHChdf

We all knew this and that’s why electing Trump was paramount to saving the Republic. We need to control the Supreme Court because over the last 85 years the left had made them the law makers as well s the law deciders. Now of that old bitch Ginsburg would just do us all a solid and drop dead we’d be getting somewhere.
60,000,000 aborted babies applaud Dianny!
All just part of the plan for the progressive Jihad, the progs are the Radical Islamists of American politics. “Death to the right!” Dr.(Zaius)Ford was just a last minute, stopgap, hail mary from hell. Used only because the kitchen sink went out the window years ago. This tactic was so sloppy, and short-sighted, and the progs playbook is so stale, and out of date, they don’t realize they have only forced their own destruction. Mad dogs have only one cure. Nothing left for them but outright conflict. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride!
and yet…Chris Stirewalt on Fox last night said these polls still indicate a Dem takeover of at least one of the Houses of Congress, said Repub voters would fall back asleep and not vote(Fox is turning into crap),,,,,,and in other news, MoveOn.org just called for complete anarchy on Saturday in front of the SCOTUS building, front of the Capitol building, and in the Capitol halls……….better get the military out there, there will be violence
God help Amy Coney Barrett when Ginsburg kicks.
This time they were like the spoiled kid in the toy aisle. They pouted, when that didn’t work they whined, when that didn’t work they cried, when that didn’t work they screamed “I hate you!”, when that didn’t work they threw themselves on the floor and went into full tantrum mode. Thankfully the grown-ups calmly said I’m going to the car, if you’re not there in 5 minutes, I’m leaving.
Just wait until next time….This is war.
Trump’s next pick will be accused of murder in middle school.
She’ll be accused of having too many kids…and being a Catholic.
So glad this exposure of the filthy left has been made for all America to see. Hope they lose the mid-terms too. It can’t happen soon enough.
they rolled the dice and lost. Liberals will be seeing red, RED I say, for generations.
Nature has finally caught up w/ Diane Feinstein, the pre-adolescent mean-girl w/ 60 years experience. You’ve lost it, lady. You’re spent.
Now we wait for Ginsberg to retire and cuddle up in her big Soviet flag. To fade away into complete irrelevance.
