A Thoughtful Enemy is Still an Enemy

I don’t want to get stuck to the tar baby known as politics today, but I have a few comments about the underhanded effort to keep Brett Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court.

Alan Dershowitz is calling for an FBI investigation, and he says the confirmation vote should be delayed. This looks bad, right? Dershowitz has supported Trump against the special counsel over and over. He must be a Republican, and if a Republican isn’t supporting Kavanaugh, something must be fishy.

I’m sure some people are saying that, but Dershowitz is a liberal. He has taken issue with the special counsel’s tactics based on his concerns about corrupting our justice system. He’s not doing it because he supports Donald Trump. He voted for Hillary. He would be very disappointed to see a new conservative justice appointed.

The fact that someone as liberal as Dershowitz has been standing up for Trump merely shows how far gone the left is. He felt he had to speak. It doesn’t mean he’s on our side. He has made it clear that he is not, and he seems frustrated that so many people don’t believe him.

Democrats want to push the confirmation back as far as possible. They might take the Senate in the midterm elections. If they can do that, Kavanaugh is dead, and they might be able to prevent Trump from putting any new justices on the court. They could also kill his other judicial picks. It might be the start of an era of total leftist domination of two branches of our government.

Dershowitz is unquestionably hoping to see the Senate go blue, so I wouldn’t get too excited about his opinion on the Kavanaugh confirmation.

I would support an investigation if it were August. It would surely help Kavanaugh, at least in the minds of reasonable people. The more digging is done, the more obvious it will be that Kavanaugh is telling the truth. The problem is that Dianne Feinstein deliberately ran out the clock, withholding the Ford accusation until it would jeopardize Trump’s chances of appointing a new justice. You can’t sit on your hole card for weeks and then pretend it’s acceptable to ask for an additional lengthy delay.

Moving on to another point, the American Bar Association recommends that the Senate wait for an FBI investigation. That’s important, right? After all, it’s a bar association.

Wrong. The ABA is not a bar association, in spite of its name. They can’t regulate lawyers. They can’t issue or revoke licenses. No lawyer has to belong. I joined in law school to get some discounts on things, but I quit as soon as I could. Why? The ABA is notorious for its leftist activities. Of course they’re against Kavanaugh and Trump. It would be a miracle if they took any other position.

Look the ABA up and find out about their positions. You’ll quickly realize their recommendation carries no more weight than one coming from Al Sharpton.

I could start a club tomorrow and call it a bar association. I could call it the Official Bar Association of the United States of America. No one could stop me. I could accept conservative lawyers only, liberal lawyers only, or even people who weren’t lawyers at all. I could use the name for a strip club and only accept exotic dancers. Don’t get too excited by the ABA’s important-sounding name. It’s just a bunch of liberals who somehow got a lot of influence over law students and a certain segment of America’s lawyers.

I can’t think of a single attorney in my family, judges included, who belonged to the ABA.

What does it mean if the GOP pushes for a quick Senate vote on Kavanaugh? Does it mean they hate women? Does it mean they think an investigation will hurt Kavanaugh? Of course not. It means they want to get him confirmed or gone quickly, so they have a chance to get someone else confirmed before they lose the Senate. They need to move fast. It won’t be that long before newly elected leftists senators, if any, will be sworn in.

The GOP needs to get the vote done now, for better or worse.

They should remember this: they will be hated and slandered no matter what they do. The left has become so unhinged, it’s impossible to placate them. The GOP should quit trying to appease the unappeasable and do what’s right for the country. Maybe some of them realize that.

God has shown me an important principle: you have to let people make peace with you and make amends. You don’t do it for their sake. You do it in order to avoid becoming a hate-filled chunk of stone who is not worth talking to. If you want allies and friends, you have to allow your enemies to be reconciled with you. Leftists don’t understand this. They don’t provide due process, and they don’t accept apologies. They don’t acknowledge atonement. They’re not smart enough to realize this destroys our motivation to work with them.

Kavanaugh SUPPOSEDLY committed a misdemeanor around 40 years ago, as a minor, and since then, he has behaved beautifully. His accusers are not credible. Their witnesses contradict them or refuse to back them up. He has a calendar which shows he was not present when his first accuser says she was molested. Sane people wouldn’t have dignified her claims with a response, and even if they were true, it’s ridiculous to persecute a middle-aged, reformed man over something he did at 17.

You can’t win with leftists. They’re all over social media reviling him as though Kavanaugh had been proven guilty, and as if his alleged misdeed were right up there with cannibalism (or killing unborn babies). The GOP can’t get a fair shake, so they should do what they think is right and take the heat for it.

Leftists always turn on people who threaten their power. Remember McCain? He was a hero to leftists because he constantly stabbed his party in the back. Then he was nominated as the GOP candidate for president, and suddenly, he became a dangerous reactionary throwback. People said he was senile. Then he got sick and died, and suddenly he was a hero again. It’s a waste of time trying to curry favor with these people. They never give an inch.

The Senate should vote and get it over with. If Kavanaugh is confirmed, the kerfuffle will end. A year from now, leftists will be hollering about something else. They will still libel him whenever possible, but like Clarence Thomas, he will be a back-burner enemy unworthy of much effort.
