Brett Kavanaugh's Associate Justice Confirmation Hearing Really Was A Trial

Obviously the news moment which prompted this article has passed on and in the minds of many it is now relegated to better to be forgotten status. However, the actions taken during those now passé events still remain as lessons to be remembered. They remain important to this author and that is why he now shares his thoughts. He pursues this story for the same reason that he pursues his passion to understand and support the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He pursues his own possession of liberty.

The apparent tight lipped party nod of approval toward Brett  Kavanaugh, candidate for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, rapidly deteriorated into a personal and national trial following the release of specifically timed, sexual impropriety accusations. Predictably, Brett Kavanaugh’s well deserved personal image changed from respectable to despicable and the hounds were released by their progressive handlers to harass and destroy the obvious predator monster discovered in their presence. Even as the left was preparing a faux courtroom based on the idea that a person is guilty until proven innocent, they continuously claimed in various voices that “This is not a trial. It is a job interview”. This writer’s work experiences have demonstrated otherwise. Job interviews are never based on harsh accusations leading to the need for a strenuous self defense by the applicant. In addition, the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court should never be portrayed as a job.

Every outrageous choreographed behavior which has since been on display following this divisive faux courtroom is the direct result of the actions taken by elected men and women of the left who chose to sit in judgment and turn away from the Law of the Land which they all swore to support. Ultimately there were no discovered provable qualification issues. There were no constitutional reasons to reject. The final Senate confirmation vote did little to renew and refresh this writer’s spirit and optimism because there remained so much more to observe. Pay attention to the fact that people are trying to take your liberty and protections away from you. As we prepare for November 6 and beyond, pay attention to what is on display daily. You need to understand why we have a Constitution and Bill of Rights and why they should remain important to you or the hounds which have been released will never be recalled.

Wise Voting Will Make A Difference

The 2018 campaign for votes presents only people issues but our Constitution and our Bill of Rights are the real story. All future outcomes for the United States are yet to be determined. All possible outcomes rest squarely in the hands of the people and you and I will ultimately enable the growth or the destruction of our own futures. On November 6, Inalienable Rights and Liberty for all will either be nourished or they will begin to wither and die and Abraham Lincoln’s observation in his 1838 Lyceum Address will be proven correct. “We cannot be destroyed from without. It must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.”

Now consider the Ten Cannots shown below. It was written in 1916, by William J. H. Boetcker, a German immigrant, a naturalized citizen and Presbyterian minister. His words remain unambiguous and true, even today.

The Ten Cannots: “You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by destroying men’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.”

Consider here , the words from the biography of Leonardo DaVinci by Walter Isaacson : "No instant is self contained. Each moment incorporates what came right before and what is coming right after." Our national mid-term elections are scheduled for November 6. Prepare yourself for the instant you cast your vote for this nation's future. Vote with pride and choose wisely.
