I would guess that Justice Kavanaugh will not seek revenge for the detestable ordeal visited upon him and his family by Dems perversely determined to have their way (in other words, blatant bigots). He is a Christian and a jurist of demonstrated judicial rectitude, marked competence, intellectual integrity and philosophical and thoroughly professional allegiance to our deathless Constitution. But he cannot, I think, nor should he, ignore one of the salient lessons of the lamentable process this time; those who sought his rejection from a public trust for which he is very well qualified are a presumptuous and lawless lot and I hope that perception guides his future judgement of their appeals to the institution which they have regarded as rightfully theirs and which is slipping from their grasp. "Why, sexual misconduct by our boy? Machts nichts! Their boy? Intolerable! Why? Because we Dems say so". "Due process? Its whatever we 'feel' is due". You know who else thinks that way? Criminals.
Charles Schumer is their spokesman and their leader; fair enough, let us assume that when he speaks it is with their leave and that he truly represents them. He is surely the most enthusiastically scornful and contemptuous Senator of all; when he confronts positions opposite to his, all of which he reflexively regards as by definition discredited, he sees his duty fulfilled by the mere expression of his disapproval. After all, he holds his truths to be self evident and he takes obvious pleasure in excoriation of those who dare to disagree.
Examples?: When he was in the House he bade critics of the futile and summarily abandoned "Assault Weapons Law" (which he disingenuously championed as "common sense gun control" rather than the incremental step toward unconstitutional bans and confiscation which was his wish) to "get over it!" Well! When the trial of William Clinton, impeached for having denied an American a meaningful day in court to seek redress of him for sexual assault upon her person, lying about it under oath and supporting the focusing of the full weight of his office upon the savaging of others who had also probably suffered such outrage at his uncontrollable and debauched impulses, commenced, Charles remarked "let's get this ridiculous process over with". That statement alone puts the lie to any criticism he has leveled at Judge Kavanaugh in this cynical outrage. Gads how I would love to see a refereed debate between Senator Schumer and Judge Kavanaugh on legal issues. After all, Charles is a lawyer, yes? Judge Kavanaugh would humiliate him. Well, to build on an old shibboleth; them that can, do, them that can't, expectorate. That one possessed of an inferior legal mind like that of Charles should sniff that Judge Kavanaugh is "woefully unqualified" is laughable.
Charles regularly shames our state beyond measure; believe me, so many of us New Yorkers of real American persuasion wish him turned out of office but we cannot prevail over the numbers of apparently indifferent downstate voters who empower him and his factotum, "Presidential contender" Kirsten Gillibrand.
Now the emphasis is on the midterms and we in Trump nation must rise to the challenge and turn out in order to take advantage of our victory in this confirmation fight. Its vital. If we prevail we deal the Dems a devastating two punch combination to build on our 2016 haymaker. Much more of this and we will put them down for the count and deliver our real America from the curse of the America hating left. Our battle cry? - "Remember Judge Kavanaugh and disempower those who wronged him." (Check out Dr. Nick Waddy's latest post at Waddyisright.com).
You probably aren't reading my comments but I know there are some of you Dems who are patriotic and people of good will.Why do you support nascent and reckless totalitarians like Charles Schumer and Nancy Pelosi? The rule of law is sine qua non to democracy and those two have affirmed beyond any reasonable doubt their contempt for the painfully evolved law of the land. Not for them its sanctions and remonstrances,oh no, because such inconveniences stand in the way of the willful exercise of FIAT - the unrestricted exercise of the incidental judgement of an unquestionable elite (why, "progressives" of course) as to right, wrong and justice. You have within your party one who has faithfully heeded the call of his state, West Virginia, a bulwark of the real America, to do right by Judge Kavanaugh. That is Senator Joe Manchin. You should follow his lead. Your present leader who, in a hilariously vintage Schumerism denounced Judge Kavanaugh's understandably emotional defense of his good name as "partisan screed", is a capital disgrace. Jack

Well said, Jack -- and I appreciate the plug! It's a sad day when half the Senate gives up on the rule of law and the concept of "innocent until proven guilty," although we may find a sort of solace in the fact that, for most voting no, guilt or innocence was beside the point. The big takeaway for me is: if Judge Kavanaugh, who surely earned respectful treatment with a lifetime of public service and good behavior, isn't safe, then who among us is?
Dr. Waddy: My wonderful PoliSci Prof in 1965 was delighted to roar "Politics is all about POWER!" I wonder how many leftists were in that classroom (Anthony Wiener was on that campus some years later). With a little help from Marx, Lenin and the census( which showed our generation to be gargantuan) they got the message. As a result we have the Dem party today. But we can and must embrace that message too. Power is our only salvation from the savagery which marked Justice Kavanaugh probably for life. Appeals to the nonexistent integrity of the opposition are to be pitied in their hopefully only tentative consideration. The firm application of political power both at the polls and in skillful leadership in the yet established institutions of government are only way to go. The left is committed to the destruction of our mostly positive way of life. We can defeat them if we see clearly and resolve to do so. That is the key to safety.
