There They Go Again: The Left Uses Old Scare Tactics Against Supreme Court Nominee

President Donald Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, is now making the rounds in the Senate in advance of his confirmation hearings. Kavanaugh is the kind of jurist that our system of government was designed for: fair, impartial, and faithful to the Constitution.

Many far-left groups, and therefore, many Senate Democrats, will oppose Kavanaugh because they oppose the kind of justice he will be. Their quest for a political judiciary leads to wild claims that this appointment will bring on the Apocalypse and determine the destiny of humankind.

One Democratic senator, for example, exclaimed at a rally that “the future of America is at stake.” It’s really not.

Kavanaugh’s opponents paint a misleading picture of judges deciding cases based not on the law, but on their personal views. Since a nominee’s personal views will supposedly predict how he or she will address particular cases or issues as a judge, the left is obsessed with extracting each nominee’s personal views on subjects they hold dear.

Dave T: Here's an easy way to get through this madness: there will always be doom, gloom and the end of the world coming, anytime anything doesn't agree with the liberal left. The core of their failed movement is preying on people's emotions and feelings with expert manipulation. Just watch Bernie Sanders and all the kooks who believe in his fiction.
