Democrats just can’t help themselves. After spending the weekend shamelessly exploiting the memorial services for Sen. John McCain and the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, loudly decrying divisive politics, angry rhetoric and the lack of civility, they proceeded to launch an angry, divisive, unruly attack on Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, as his confirmation hearings began this morning ~ Democrat-staged protests and interruptions mock the serious business of considering the Supreme Court nominee ~
Strong Democratic opposition to President Donald Trump’s nominee reflected the political stakes for both parties just two months before congressional elections.
The Democrats, including several senators poised for 2020 presidential bids, tried to block the proceedings over Kavanaugh records being withheld by the White House. Republicans in turn accused the Democrats of turning the hearing into a circus. And protesters shouted out frequent and persistent disruptions from the audience.
While the Left no doubt wants everyone to think this was a righteous, spontaneous protest, it was anything but – as Katie Pavelich reports ~ Democrats Coordinated Their Temper Tantrum at Kavanaugh Hearing ~
Democrats coordinated and planned over the long holiday weekend to obnoxiously interrupt the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The hearing started Tuesday morning and will likely run through the end of the week.

Democrats plotted coordinated protest strategy over the holiday weekend and all agreed to disrupt and protest the hearing, sources tell me and @frankthorp
Dem leader @chuckschumer led a phone call and committee members are executing now

[Furthermore, it appears many of the protestors were actually paid. – See below*]
The thing is, the United States is a Constitutional Republic. That means we generally attempt to settle our political differences in a civilized, reasonable manner, in accordance with the rule of law. Conservatives – and most Republicans – try to appoint judges who demonstrate a fidelity to the Constitution.

As David Harsanyi at The Stream pointed out back in July ~
For those who rely on the administrative state and coercion as a policy tool — forcing people to join political organizations, forcing them to support abortion, forcing them to subsidize socially progressive sacraments, forcing them to create products that undermine their faith, and so on (the Constitution is) a big problem.
Authoritarians at heart, Democrats think that the Constitution – with its clear limitations on the power of the state – has outlived its usefulness. They view the judiciary as an extension of Congress, preferring judges who legislate from the bench. As ruthless as they are shameless, they’ll obviously stop at nothing to push the Supreme Court as far to the left as possible. With their childish antics, they’re increasingly behaving as if they live in a banana republic. Let’s not let them turn the country into one.

Carnival Sideshow:
Illustrating just how unhinged some on the Left have become ~
1.) After Leftists Smear Woman At Kavanaugh Hearing As White Supremacist, Her Attorney Husband Issues Fierce Response
The internet erupted with conspiracy theories that Zina Bash, a former Kavanaugh clerk, flashed a “white power” sign, apparently giving a nod and wink to her white supremacist, Kavanaugh-supporting brethren. (In reality, she randomly rested her right hand on left arm, but TRUMP!) […]
Hours later, Mrs. Bash’s husband, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas John Bash, unloaded on the despicable leftists spreading such falsehoods about his part-Mexican, part-Jewish wife.
“Zina is Mexican on her mother’s side and Jewish on her father’s side. She was born in Mexico. Her grandparents were Holocaust survivors.”
“The attacks today on my wife are repulsive,” started Mr. Bash. “Everyone tweeting this vicious conspiracy theory should be ashamed of themselves. We weren’t even familiar with the hateful symbol being attributed to her for the random way she rested her hand during a long hearing.”
2.) Dianne Feinstein: More People Will Die in Mass Shootings if Brett Kavanaugh Gets Confirmed ~ No hyperbole here ~
She also intimated there would be more school shootings if Kavanaugh were confirmed, chiefly because of the continued legality of “assault weapons.” Feinstein claimed there have been 273 school shootings since the heinous December 14, 2012, shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, and that such shootings would actually grow with Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Fun fact: A study by University of Alabama associate professor Adam Lankford found 90 mass shootings–including mass shootings at schools–during the years 1966-2012. Feinstein, on the other hand, is claiming 273 shootings in schools alone during a five and half year time frame.
3.) Women’s March Leader Linda Sarsour Arrested at Kavanaugh Hearing ~ (Sarsour is a contentious, pro-abortion, Muslim activist)
Sarsour was one of approximately 20 demonstrators forcibly removed from Tuesday’s hearing by Capitol Police. The protesters said Kavanaugh would protect President Donald Trump on the Supreme Court and provide the fifth vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
4.) *Three Texas Doctors: We Saw Protesters Paid In Cash To Disrupt Brett Kavanaugh Hearing ~
Author and commentator Adam W. Schindler interviews three Texas doctors who traveled to Washington D.C. to attend the confirmation hearings for Judge Brett Kavanaugh. While waiting on line, they say they witnessed protesters being paid in cash to cause trouble in the hearing and in the public line to get in, Tuesday on Capitol Hill.
