Reason On Trial

Senate committee meetings have begun to assess Judge Kavanaugh's fitness to serve as a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Senate Democrats, and a host of irate attendees lobbing violent verbal attacks, revealed their inability to conduct themselves in a respectable manner. The New York Times captured the first meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

(T)he hearings were dominated by Democratic theatrics and crackling protests. For more than an hour at the outset, irate Democrats and a frustrated Mr. Grassley parried back and forth. Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut, denounced the hearing as “a charade and a mockery” and repeatedly moved to adjourn, while Mr. Grassley ruled him out of order over and over again.

At one point, Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, accused Democrats of engaging in “mob rule.”

Protesters, most of them women, shouted down senators; by day’s end, Capitol Police said a total of 70 people had been arrested, including nine outside the room.

Those on the left of the political spectrum, liberal fascists for example, frequently resort to violent verbal assaults in an attempt to shut down a process or event because they feel threatened, because the policies they would prefer to be left in place are being exposed as irrational, dangerous and unfair. Judge Kavanaugh is a convenient target, and so protestors occupy committee rooms in order to subvert due process and other ordinary means by which the free exchange of ideas normally take place. That so many protestors were removed from the first committee meeting due to their violent disruptions should remind observers that ideologues representing irrational views commonly held by those on the left of the political spectrum, facing the defeat of their inhuman policies, are inherently violent. For example, promotion of euthanasia, repackaged as "physician assisted suicide" or some other euphemism for murder, is nothing less than the promotion of the termination of the mentally and physically vulnerable. Instead of accompanying those in distress, leftists demand an easy and final solution, which they habitually refer to as compassion toward the dying. Any attempt to expose the Left for what it is, is met with "theatrics and crackling protests", theatrics which only serve as an attempt to deflect attention away from the intrinsically evil intentions that liberal fascists want entrenched in our respective societies.

Civilized people cannot give up government and the legal system to those of the Left whose shabby ideas and intolerance make possible the complete dehumanization of the most vulnerable members in any society. The Kavanaugh hearings are exposing what needs to be exposed—namely, the anarchy and tyranny of the Left.

For Judge Kavanaugh, a Catholic, this current trial before a Senate committee must surely resemble a trial before the Sanhedrin (Mark 14:53-65). These very public lynchings are difficult to watch, because well-mannered senators, i.e., Democrats, seem entirely content enabling violent protestors to verbally flog a man, whose conscience is formed and informed by his faith, for bearing witness to the rule of law. Can one be blamed for suggesting that the motivation of many of the protestors and sneering senators is nothing less than bigotry?
