If our justice system was as good as it should be, ALL of our judges, Liberal or Conservative, male or female, religious or agnostic, Muslim, Christian, Jewish….Catholic or Protestant….Wiccan or Bhuddist, would be interchangeable.

It really shouldn’t matter…..

Because our justices, Circuit or Supreme (or any of the lower courts) would adjudicate from the letter of the LAW, not from their beliefs.

No Liberal (or, to a much lesser, but still there, and still wrong) or Conservative or religious biases…no “Legislation from the Bench”.

No human is perfect. None of us can be entirely objective. But if a judge at that level cannot be impartial, and set aside his or her feelings and judge cases based upon LAW, and the Constitution, then they should not be a judge at all …especially at that level.

In fact, if our justice system had decent judges, we should be able to take any Federal Circuit Court judge’s name and any Court of Appeals judge’s name and put them in a hat and pick one…..and get a decent judge that was qualified for the Supreme level.

Sadly, we don’t have that.

We have political animals, and biased judges and those who Legislate from the Bench….and who play politics.
And those judges are failing in their oaths. 

That Ms Ford will now disappear back to wherever the Democrats dug her out of, only with a pocket full of cash and other prizes (Plus the GoFundMe which is reputed to be near $1 million) and that the Dems will dump any contact with her…She will be abandoned, having done the job they used her for.

Unless, of course, she meets Vince Foster. 

That the military and our government are just now realizing that this is a problem….that the manufacturing base that is so necessary to fight a war (which, hopefully we don’t have to do again) of any large scale no longer exists in this country Raw materials are one thing, the ABILITY to manufacture things from those raw materials is another…. …and we don’t control many of the sources of raw materials, anyway.

Should large scale conflict happen, especially with the Chinese, how long can we wage war without the electronics and other products that the CHINESE exclusively produce? Yes, the Japanese and the Malaysians and the Singaporese can take up some of that slack, but they are in, essentially, the Chinese backyard. How long will they last? Even if they do, how will we transport those components they produce (and we DON’T) from them to us?

Global manufacturing is a great idea…as long as everyone is at peace. But the military is about defending the citizens of this country and taking the fight to the enemy should that be required….and they need the tools with which to do so

How much of that manufacturing…of chips, other electronics, exotic smelting and refining, chemical processes, etc has left our country because of taxes and, especially, our environmental regulations? How much because our trade practices made it easier and cheaper to outsource? How do we get enough back under our control and security to make us able to defend ourselves (much less wage offensive war) for an extended period?

“every Blade of Grass” is, indeed, a thing. But that only works so well, for so long.  Real weapons of war take more infrastructure and more manufacturing. Remember: In WWII, the real reason the US (and it’s allies supplied by the US) was the ability to produce more weapons and tools of war faster than the opponents…More ships, more guns, more ammunition, more fighter planes, more of the tools of war for soldiers to use. We OUT-MANUFACTURED our enemies as much as beat them man to man. At the end of the day, no matter how valiant the fighter is, he needs guns, and food, and clothing, and the other tools of war to wage war. An empty rifle is just a club, and a fighter jet without missiles is just a fast plane. …a submarine without torpedoes is just a boat that submerges.

Roberta has it in a nutshell.

All this hoorah hasn’t really changed much. I doubt if it influenced any votes one way or another. The Dems weren’t gonna vote for Kavanaugh no matter what.

For folks who think the way the DNC tells them to support the Democrat party , Kavanaugh is the Devil. For those with a working brain, there is doubt of that. 

Coming to a culmination.

Some cop shot some black teenager who was high on PCP and wandering the streets terrorizing people.

Cop drove up to the scene and in less than a minute, shot the teenager 17 times. Teenager was carrying a knife. I don’t see where the cop had reason to shoot at all, but I wasn’t there. But he was black, so the professional agitators have something to work with….

I’m glad I don’t have to decide this murder charge. Look up LaQuan McDonald.

But the city, both the police AND THE BUSINESSES are girding for protest, riots, and looting. Schools (public and private) have contingency plans for closing as soon as the verdict is announced…. Same same businesses…not just retail, but manufacturing has shutdown plans, or, if they can’t shutdown, have plans for limited operations with their staff staying….Behind secure fences and locked doors. They expect riots or other unrest….They are realists.

It’ll happen no matter what the verdict is. Bet on it.

And it won’t be folks from the north side. Southsiders…Bet on it. One officer I know says that they are praying for heavy rain the day of, and the day after, the verdict is announced. 

And they don’t lie about things like that.

Except when they do. Which is, I think, more often that one might think.

SOME women lie abut many things. Somme act as if they are still in 7th grade.

But don’t tell the #MeeeTOO!movement. It might undermine their credibility.

I mean, you don’t hear much about this on the Liberal media, do ya?

Seems that Kanye West pissed off the entire SNL crowd as well as the managers of the show. 

Another viewpoint on the Kavanaugh debacle.

He might well be right, however.

Gonna have to give that some cogitation though.
