Well, kiddies, we've passed "cloture" on Kavanaugh. Barely.
Cloture means the Senate has secured enough votes from its members to cause the clock to start ticking on a 30-hour period before a final vote can be taken. That vote should occur sometime this afternoon, Saturday, to find out whether we have a new Supreme Court Associate Justice, or we have the beginnings of a New Civil War.
But while we await that rather monumental moment, and the Civil War to possibly start, lemme' take a trip with you back in time a bit so you can get as up to date on this little issue as am I.
In case any of you "normal" people out there in "normal"-land are wondering why Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) sat on the "Ford" letter for nearly seven weeks while the Kavanaugh hearings were underway, here's a little bit of info for your edification.
Feinstein has been the Senior Senator from California since The Flood. No, not quite, but nearly. She's decided she doesn't need any of that retirement thing and is therefore running for reelection. For the 15th or 20th time.
And although she's been a loyal standard-bearer for the Democrat Party for-everrrrr, she's being attacked now from the Far Left. One uber-Progressive bozo named Kevin de Leon is her opponent come November, and he's received the Big Endorsements - and the BigBucks - from everybody and his brother. She's being hung out to dry because she's too conservative! He's currently running ahead of her, so she obviously needed to swing for the fences. And boy Howdy, did she ever!
BTW, this de Leon guy is a piece of work, even for Taxifornia. Being 100% Mexican, he didn't feel his name, Kevin Leon, was sufficiently important-sounding for high political office. So he added a "de" to sound more Spanish. Yeah, like from Spain Spanish. You see why everybody but the super-rich and the dirt poor are leaving?
And so, friends and neighbors, she's fighting no-teeth and nails-on-a-blackboard to keep her job. So much so that she's proven herself willing to not only destroy one Judge Brett Kavanaugh's life, but the obviously challenged Ms. Ford's, too.
So, the Bottom Line, as they say, is this: Without concerning myself with whether or not Kavanaugh was a drunken, teen-age Rape Gang Lord, this whole mess could have been completely - and confidentially - investigated during the six-plus weeks Lady Di sat on the letter. And Ford could have remained anonymous, as she had requested. And Kavanaugh could have been exonerated without his family and his career being willfully, intentionally destroyed by Leftist goons.
And without legions of mindless drones patrolling the Halls of Congress, yelling and screaming and spitting and cursing at every Republican they could find. Not nice, folks...
But Feinstein is running BEHIND! She's currently 12 points downstream from de Leon, and needed to pull out all the stops. Whether or not she made the conscious decision to drop this letter bomb after the confirmation proceedings had ended, as a way to become relevant once again, or it was performed for - or at - her direction, she made it all about...HER...
But that wouldn't have done now, would it? Kavanaugh, and by extension, Trump, must be DESTROYED! He, and anyone else who might follow, are hereby warned that you don't want to get between a Democrat and power. Especially power they've lost, they believe unfairly, and desperately want back.
So that's where we are, children. If you like and approve the tactics Lady Di and her fellow Democrats have employed in this confirmation process, please vote for them come November.
And if you don't, well, you figure it out. But I'd like to offer up a little bit of prognostication for the glee of my loyal readers. If Kavanaugh is confirmed, this day, November 6th, 2018, it shall be forever and hereafter referred to as the First Day of the New Civil War..
