Something the Left will ignore, of course...
As the Kavanaugh catastrophe demonstrates, our nation is paying a heavy price for the unpatriotic attempts to abuse government power to try to pick a president, then undo the election. In a dangerous world where America has real enemies, efforts to undermine Trump’s legitimacy often align with the interests of foreign powers....
To be clear, what we just witnessed, and what we have seen for two years, is not a case of mere political differences, which the Founders recognized as inevitable and even desirable.
Instead, we face something more akin to the combustible climate historian Christopher Clark described as the origins of World War I. In his book, “The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914,” Clark illustrates how none of the great powers wanted war, but all felt free to escalate the build-up in the certainty that the other side would back down.
Something similar is happening here, and our nation could be sleepwalking into a second civil war. Even though justice and fairness prevailed this time, the stained confirmation process must serve as a wake-up alarm.

Your rules. Started with Bill Clinton.
Kavs helped lead the charge.
Unfortunate, that. But, it reinforces the point of my post.
"...none of the [parties] wanted [constitutional crisis], but all felt free to escalate the buildup in the certainty that the other side would back down."
The alternative, is surrender. It brings us back to Reagan's speech, in which he says that you can have peace at any time and that is through surrender. But, there is a point beyond which we may not be pushed. Our backs are up against the wall. So, yeah, their rules will be our rules, which means power will rule, and constitutional rules will be thrown out the window. It is very unfortunate that we have come to this place, but pretending we aren't here is not the answer.
No it doesn’t. You blame the other side for something your side started.
You assign no blame there. In fact you justify it.
So don’t bitch when the other side does the same.

As the Right continues to ignore Merrick Garland....
Appointed by a democratically elected president that our current president attempted to de-legitimize over and over through the birther scandal.
You really think your side has been playing fair?
Of course because it doesn’t fit their narrative. It doesn’t fit the D narrative to admit they
couldn’t give two shits about Ford’s story and dealt the card at the last minute. They leaked it simply to derail this guy with an allegation that was unverifiable.
The fucking self righteousness of both is amazing.
Good work. Keep us posted on her shenanigans.

Non sequitor. Please explain.

The article is poorly titled. References HRC, but has little to do with her.
I assume he didn't read it when he saw the title.
You are wise beyond your years.
When I saw the source, I was 90% sure I wasn't going to read it. When I saw the title, I was 100%. Sorry Ned. If you want to give the elevator pitch, I'd read that.
The elevator pitch was in my first post.
I try not to do single word linking like conor ("Testify!"), since I know I have little motivation to read his links when he doesn't bother to provide an excerpt or summary.
Mostly I was trying to rib some of the Lefties (Chris94 specifically) for their "Another thing the Trumpies won't read" posts.
Got it.
The first post was a long elevator ride.
I appreciate that you add commentary when you post a link.
The left hates our country

Of course they do and the right are all true patriots.
Now we are at the 3rd grade level which is why this place is so enjoyable.
Just not into that MAGA crap I guess.
Shame on them.
Indeed.
