The Morning Report - 3/22/22

Good morning, kids. Tuesday and the story that is bubbling through the Ukraine situation is the confirmation hearings of this Kentanji Jackson communist to take the SCOTUS seat to be vacated by retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. If you look at this dame's record both as a jurist and as a law student, it's a litany vile racialism wrapped up inside a warped view of the world centered on a loathing of the very principles of the document she supposedly has sworn to preserve, protect and defend. In other words, typical Leftist.

As the hearings kicked off, there were some fireworks by the likes of Ted Cruz, someone I have become less and less enamored of as the years have gone by, who nonetheless called out the Democrats for their raging hypocrisy, theatrics and outright despicable character assassinations and political theater whenever a Republican nominee faces confirmation.

“It is only one side of the aisle, the Democratic aisle, that went so into the gutter with Judge Robert Bork that they invented a new verb, to ‘Bork’ someone.”

“It is only one side of the aisle that, with Justice Clarence Thomas, was so reprehensible that […] President George Herbert Walker Bush wrote at the time, quote, what’s happening to Clarence Thomas is just plain horrible,” Cruz continued.  “All the groups that tried to beat him up on abortion, affirmative action have now come out of the woodwork, they’re trying to destroy a decent man. As Justice Thomas observed in that hearing, what happened there was, to use his words, ‘a high-tech lynching.’ And I would note the chairman who presided over that disgrace was Joe Biden.”

Fire and brimstone or sturm und drang? Meh. On the other hand, there's Josh Hawley, who I've been more impressed with than Ted Cruz, actually sounding the alarm bell on Jackson's record for being extremely soft on pedophiles, rapists and child porn purveyors.

“As far back as her time in law school, Judge Jackson has questioned making convicts register as sex offenders – saying it leads to ‘stigmatization and ostracism,’” Hawley tweeted. “She’s suggested public policy is driven by a ‘climate of fear, hatred & revenge’ against sex offenders". . .

. . . Hawley said the U.S. Sentencing Commission has refused to provide the committee with all of Jackson’s records from her time spent there. The Missouri Senator called Jackson’s record “disturbing,” and added, “sending child predators to jail shouldn’t be controversial.” He also called out Jackson for wondering if there is a type of “less-serious child pornography offender.”

Charming. I'm sure it'll come as no surprise that this fool is a huge fan of Calypso Louie Farrakhan and not a fan of the First Amendment, which of course makes her an ideal jurist in the eyes of the Marxists. The icing on the cake is this pearl-necklace of wisdom from mass-assassin linked Dick Durbin:

Referencing Senator Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) claims that Judge Jackson had a “soft on crime” approach to dealing with sex offenders, Durbin argued that such accusations were “baseless” and “unfair.”

That's right, folks. Accurately stating a judge's case record, which is actual public knowledge and not merely "claims," is now "unfair." But of course, sliming, smearing and lying about a Republican nominee is not only fair, but doing the Lord's work, right Dickweed?

Hell, what does it matter? Really, at the end of the day, given the state of the nation politically and culturally, what will it really matter if this horrendous person is confirmed to the highest court in the land? For decades now, we have been ruled by a government that is completely antithetical to the one that the Founders intended. We have a justice system that exists to punish the political enemies of those in power as well as distort or outright ignore that tattered piece of parchment so as to preserve, protect and defend that power. That goes double since the greatest crime in American history, the one that ended it: the theft of the 2020 election and final act in the overthrow of America as founded. Need I remind you that along with the trio of avowed Lefties, it was Roberts, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Coney-Barrett that sat on their hands and did nothing to at least forestall the inevitable and sound the alarm. In that regard, Kentanji Jackson had nothing to do with it.

So, what does it matter if she's confirmed? And if she isn't, do you really think Ron Klain and Valerie Jarrett are going to do a reverse Dubya and nominate someone that could potentially vote on a case with the conservatives? In Soviet Amerika, the court is not there to uphold the law; it's there as an expediency to assert raw power over the individual, period.

Within the incestuous cesspool that is the nation’s capital, it’s not unusual for a power couple to work on the same side of the political aisle. Matthew Graves is a registered Democrat who served as a domestic policy advisor for Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.

What is highly unusual—and should raise the eyebrows of congressional Republicans (it won’t) and January 6 defense attorneys (it might)—is that the unprecedented criminal investigation into the four-hour disturbance at the Capitol over a year ago is in the hands of a partisan prosecutor married to a radical left-wing activist who has openly condemned, with racist language, supporters of Donald Trump.

Since taking over the U.S. attorney’s office in October, Graves has ramped up the Justice Department’s witch hunt into the events of January 6. Originally described as the “Capitol breach” probe, Graves recently replaced the word “breach” with “siege,” and is seeking to hire at least 20 new prosecutors to handle the growing January 6 caseload. . .

. . . Fatima Goss Graves herself condemned the events of January 6. Trump should be impeached, Graves wrote in a statement on January 7, 2021, and his “enablers in Congress must be held accountable for their attempt to subvert our democracy and embolden these terrorists.”

Graves once again invoked race. “The disconnect between the treatment of peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters this summer [sic] and violent insurrectionists this week puts our unequal society on full display, making all the more clear the national travesty Black people have lived with for generations,” Graves claimed, contrary to all evidence. She further demanded a “thorough investigation” into what happened on January 6.

To say she’s getting her wish is an understatement. Nearly 800 Americans, nearly all white, have been arrested so far, with new charges filed every week. The abusive prosecution, with help from the media, is destroying lives—and Graves’ office isn’t done yet.

And Fatima Goss Graves is - surprise! - a huge cheerleader for Kentanji Jackson. Just to underscore the estimable Julie Kelly's report, Robert Spencer notes:

On Jan. 6, 2021, a protestor, 40-year-old Brady Knowlton, says that an officer at the Capitol told “You can go in, as long as you don’t break anything.” At 2:35 p.m., Knowlton did, entering through the Upper West Terrace doors. He looked around inside the building, walked through the Rotunda, lobby, and Senate chamber gallery, obeyed the officer’s injunction not to break anything, and left the building at 2:53 p.m. For that, Knowlton now faces twenty years in prison in Old Joe Biden’s vengeful banana republic.

On top of the possibility of being behind bars until 2042, Knowlton, a law student, has suffered numerous other consequences already. According to the Daily Wire, “his law degree has been withheld, his lawyers say, Airbnb has banned him and his wife, and, for reasons that remain undisclosed, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has stripped his Global Entry access. . . ”

. . . Imagine a country that imprisons peaceful protestors on false charges of participating in an attempt to overthrow the government, as part of efforts to discredit and ultimately criminalize all opposition to the ruling party’s agenda. People who entered a public building when police held the door open for them are being held in solitary confinement and given draconian punishments far out of proportion to what they actually did. This is the sort of thing that happens in Third World countries, right? This is the sort of thing tinpot dictators do in banana republics, where the rulers gained power by underhanded means and have no respect for due process, the rule of law, or the rights of their citizens — right? Maybe so, but the cases of Knowlton and other Jan. 6 protestors show that all this and worse is happening right now in the land of the free and the home of the brave, where up until quite recently, it all would have been unthinkable. . .

. . . In America, we no longer have a single justice system for all people, regardless of race, or of power, or privilege, or the protected victimhood status they may have among the Leftist intelligentsia. We no longer have a justice system that is indifferent to and independent of political pressure. The politically and culturally dominant Left is not content with the massive power and influence it wields now; it is determined to silence all opposition and destroy it utterly.

With a DOJ/FBI, police and judges who allow this to happen or even eagerly participate in it, on top of the destruction of our economy, culture and way of life now moving at breakneck speed, what does it really matter if another affirmative action diversity hire and worse, anti-American crackpot racialist sits on the highest court of the land? A land that no longer really exists?
