Democrats Chose War...and Lost

When we heard Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed*, we didn't think the GOP would try to confirm a new judge and our gut told us they shouldn't.  But within hours Mitch McConnell declared the senate would vote on RBG's replacement before the election. Senator McConnel ain't called Cocaine Mitch for nothing, folks.

Here we are predicting the ACB confirmation battle would end not with a bang but a whimper. It wasn't possible for the Dems to top the Brett Kavanaugh fiasco, the laws of physics just won't allow it.  When Will Stroock says something will happen it is because that thing will happen. 

Honestly the ACB confirmation didn't even end in a whimper. When Justice Kavanaugh was conformed, a coven of shrieking, un-fuckable harpies took over the senate gallery. Even after the Capital Police removed them, these lovely ladies moaned and wailed and banged on the gallery doors like the feminist un-dead. These gals must have great home lives.

Bork, Thomas, Estrada, the Kavanaugh circus... When Mitch McConnel said Harry Reid would regret eliminating the judicial filibuster for lower court nominees, he wasn't kidding. The ACB nomination and confirmation was an act of revenge, an act of comeuppance. 

After thirty years of Supreme Court confirmation battles from Robert Bork to Amy Coney Barrett, the war's over, McConnell dropped the big one. Oh, and Justice Stephen Breyer is 82. We wonder who Trump will nominate to replace him.

What's Russian for Judicial Filibuster?

Here's out latest bit of Russian Collusion, in which we explain the Supreme Court to those Commie Bastards:

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died last Friday. Appointed to the Supreme Court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, Ginsburg was a reliably liberal vote on the bench. Over time she became something of a folk hero to the left. The 2019 film, On the Basis of Sex, chronicled her early life and crusade for women’s rights. In the age of Trump many Democrats wore T-shirts of Ginsburg’s likeness with the moniker, ‘The Notorious RBG’. Thousands gathered on the steps of the Supreme Court to mourn Ginsburg the night she died. Hours after the announcement of Ginsburg’s death, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the senate would hold a vote on the president’s nominee to replace her before the election on November 3rd. So begins the last great battle in the Supreme Court nomination wars that have raged since the 1980s....

We have the Coke! Also 50 Votes

Colorado Senator Corey Gardener announced last night that he would vote to confirm a 'qualified' Supreme Court candidate. End game. As we said yesterday, this battle ends not with a bang but a whimper. We're quite sure Cocaine Mitch whipped up the vote months in advance. Here's how we imagine it went:

The five senators sat at the mahogany table in the Senate Majority leader's conference room. McConnell opened a brown paper bag and carefully poured out the Colombian White till there was a small pile of the stuff before him. He took a razor blade out of his coat pocket and made a three inch line. McConnell quickly leaned over, snorted it, and looked up.

'Senator Collins, your duty to the party is fulfilled. Vote as you need. Senator Gardner, I'm glad to hear we have your vote.' Gardner nodded. 'You have the parties' gratitude and support.' McConnell sniffed and turned to the Senator from Alaska.  'Senator Murkowski, I have no idea why you would oppose this nominee. If you support us, I promise the party will give you full support in return against a primary challenger in 2022. You know who wants to run, and she can't see Russia from her house but she can see yours. I'll be blunt. If you don't back the nominee, I won't stand in her way.' McConnel rubbed his nose. 'Senator Romney, you...' McConnell almost insulted the Utah squish, but caught himself. 'Well, there's no need to get nasty. Mitt, I'll waste no more time with you. If you don't vote for our nominee, I do not care.  Now get the hell out of my office.'

We've no idea who Trump will nominate, but this blog 100% supports the angelic and talented Amy Coney Barrett. There are those who say the GOP shouldn't even bother with hearings. Judge Barrett was vetted a few years ago already. True. Besides, screw the Dems. Also True. Also right and proper. Still, hearings are one big Imperial trap for the Dems. 

Barrett is a member of a 'controversial' catholic organization, where, allegedly women are supposed to be subservient to men. That's clearly at work in the Barrett family, anyone can see that, right? We hesitate to even repeat that because we really don't know what we're talking about. But Neither do the Dems. They'll savage Barrett's Catholicism, which will play great in the Midwest, also with suburbanite women. Here's Senator Diane Feinstein (D-Beijing) hectoring Barrett during her confirmation hearing. 'The Dogma lives loudly within you and...that's a concern.'

God almighty that woman is bad for Jews. Could you imagine if....? Na, why bother.
