If at any time since Robert Bork the democrat party had really cared about a true hearing and not an attempted character assassination, I’d have thought the hearings were worthwhile. Given the last 30-35 years hearings of a republican nominated candidate are pretty much useless, they should cut them out and just vote. The republicans (for better or worse) don’t treat democrat nominees like this.
Don’t give the the democrats a platform for demagoguing.
If it wasn’t obvious from Biden and Harris’ statements, Biden and Harris plan to pack the US Supreme Court.
There are two ways of making a Cabinet. One way is to have in it people representing the different points of view within the party, within the broad philosophy. The other way is to have in it only the people who want to go in the direction which every instinct tells me we have to go: clearly, steadily, firmly, with resolution. As Prime Minister, I could not waste my time having internal arguments. Margaret Thatcher
Margaret Thatcher, 1979
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens. . . . And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. . . . Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. George Washington
Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry.

There is no ‘slippery slope’ toward loss of liberties, only a long staircase where each step downward must first be tolerated by the American people and their leaders. Alan Simpson
The New York Times, September 26, 1982
Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. That is what makes a marriage last –more than passion or even sex! Simone Signoret
Recognize that you don’t live in a vacuum. Every time you break a rule, it hurts someone else. If you can’t figure out how, sit there until you can. Albert J. Bernstein, PhD

At 2:27pm on Monday, March 30, 1981 President Reagan was shot. I was a child at the time and when I got out of schoolat 3:13pm, headed to swim practice. When I got there, I heard the coaches say that he’d been shot and was in surgery and no one knew how he was. Most of the people were upset and in shock.
Something that I still remember from that day was that one of the older kids said, “I hope he dies.” I couldn’t believe that the left wanted someone to die like that. What was a high school age kid doing thinking that and saying it like it wasn’t the unmitigated evil that it was? What were the parents teaching this kid?
Well, all over the left again this morning, we are seeing “I hope Trump dies.”
The “compassionate, civil, civilized and caring left” hoping someone dies.
What is wrong with these people?
