Kavanaugh Fight Heats Up

The fight on Capital Hill to get Kavanaugh confirmed has heated up. Fox News reports:

The atmosphere on Capitol Hill turned especially tense Wednesday amid mounting protests from demonstrators in the halls of Congress, as lawmakers await the release of the FBI’s report on its Brett Kavanaugh background investigation and prepare to vote on his polarizing nomination to the Supreme Court.

The supercharged environment on Capitol Hill led Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Wednesday to decry the harassment of senators during a speech on the Senate floor.

“One of our colleagues and his family were effectively run out of a restaurant in recent days,” McConnell said. “Another reported having protestors physically block his car door. And some have seen organized far-left protesters camp out at their homes.”

An increased police presence was visible Wednesday, as officers were seen protecting Republican senators who were coming and going from their offices. Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a crucial undecided vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination, was seen being escorted to votes by a Capitol Police detail.

The Communists and Soros will do whatever they think they need to do to block anything President Trump does. His success and daily winning is showing what Conservative leadership can do and the Democrats know that will put their Plantation out of business if the slaves flee next November.

You are right even to being the spark behind the scene to set off a major riot. The Democrats no longer depend on good legislation to accomplish their goal they will satisfy their thirst for power anyway they can. If President Trump succeeds their glory days are iver fir al long time

WHY are these leftest goons even allowed on white house property? They have no legit agenda, so why are they allowed in the halls of congress? Who’s minding the store here and WHY isn’t someone making and passing laws that prohibit anyone on white house grounds who have nothing better to do than be jerks, idiots, morons and obstructionist payed for by George Soros. Do I have to tell you guys in WA how to do everything??? Geeezzee!

I have read that George Soros has dual citizenship, if true, the government should revoke his American citizenship and get him out of this country. He is a very evil person

It certainly is time to not allow anyone near the meetings of Senators and House Members anyehere in the Capitol Complex without an invitatin from a mrnber of Congress. If a grioup or person approved by a member cause any type of disturbance that members privledge to invite is suspended for 12 months.

Father, you have spoken the truth. There should be no delay in providing immediate protection of all senators of our country and to eliminate any outside of these government groups from entering any area In which these senators work or meet. Their homes and families shoild also be protected . These disgraceful and immature bullies should be blocked since they are unable to comtrol
Their evil and unnecessary behavior

harrison burnel: You cannot just shut down speech that supposedly provokes violence and hate. That is the purpose of the First [and most important] Amendment: to protect speech that might be unpopular. To ignore the First Amendment, or any other part of the Constitution, would violate everything that this country stands for.

Freedom comes with responsibitlities and some apparently cannot handle it. I do not think anyone involved in crafting the First Amenmvnt thought thugs wiuld hurt, kill and destroy public and private property to force their beliefs on others. You do not want your beliefs and ideas heard you want tomake sure no one else who opposes you is heard.

Stopping speakers from speaking on campus proves that. You are stupid not because you lack the ability to learn. You are stupid because you have only heard one side. In other words your mind is not as ooen as you think it is and you only care about the First Amendment when it benefits you.

Gerald Serlin, you are quite correct on free speech and the right to protest however, no one has the right to disturb the peace or to destroy the property of others nor to threaten them with violence. If people feel they have the right to yell and scream at others just because they are upset and can’t have their own way or that they disagree, that is wrong. Those who believe that they can lie, steal, commit perjury, cause destruction of lives or property or whatever the want without having to pay for their deeds are sadly mistaken. Each and everyone who falls into those categories should be brought to trial and if found guilty imprisoned until they have served every day of their sentence.

The Democrats are becoming more and more unhinged as President Trump moves forward successfully with his agenda. They are making threats against Republicans and their supporters and inciting their base to do violence against Republicans and their supporters. They are no better than the Bolsheviks that overthrew the Tsar of Russia and murdered him and his entire family 100 years ago. They also have a whole lot in common with them. They both desire a Democrat Socialist Society.

It’s the final nail in the BEGINNING of the end of the NWO Marxist (democrat) party. Their demise is no starting to gain momentum.

Harassing people in restaurants and in and impeding their their moments in and out of their homes and work place(The capital building!) is over the edge and they need to stepped on HARD!.

When the judge is confirmed the will likely riot. Who is the party of hate now?

Remember the movie Soilent Green? – Bring in the scoops!

Gerald M. Serlin Freedom of speech doesn’t give someone the right to say anything they want to say.There are such things as defamation of character and inciting riots, which is definitely against the law.

That’s right Gene, what these “Big mouths” need is someone to give them a good thrashing and that includes all those women who demand equal rights (something I have always agreed with). Warren, Waters, Clinton and Pelosi plus many other loudmouths working for the Media (Men and women).

The Democrat party needs to be listed as an official hate group. They hate everyone. They are outraged by everyone and everything. If they do not like the what you believe or the way you talk, or the way you think, they terrorize and persecute you. They are the party of lies and hate.
Their treatment of Judge Kavanaugh is an outrage. Their use of media and cartoonists and hypnotists and delays is unAmerican. We Americans demand that Kavanaugh be installed as SCOTUS Judge immediately, and that the Democrats engaged in this disgusting display of disparagement and Communist-style propaganda be investigated.
Judge Kavanaugh, we applaud your stellar record and demeanor surrounded by this pack of wolves. We are praying for you. May God bless and protect you and your family. MAGA.

It should be very simple. Anyone violating any rights of any person or US Senator should be arrested. If they block a car door, arrest them. If they physically touch or impede freedom of passage arrest them. Let quit playing games and enforce the laws for everyone.

Let’s get to the heart of all this, our Constitution gives us the right to peaceably assemble. These people have no legal rights to do and say the stupid things they say and do; they have no right to block members of Congress who are trying to do their jobs, whether they like them or not. They also have no legal rights to bother any member of Congress or their staff members at home or in a restaurant with their family. This is outrageous behavior which should not be allowed in society today or any time. It has been obvious that some of these troublemakers are being paid by the opposition party to disrupt the order of propriety during congressional voting or meetings; in this case, the party in the wrong is the Democrats.

President Trump should nominate Hillary Clinton for Supreme Court Justice; after the FBI gets through with her investigation she and 25% of the Democrats along with Soros and his sons will all be heading for the Grand Opening of Alcatraz.

What the so called democrats are doing here is not going to a be winner for them. It is beginning to backfire on them even now. They think they have the best of it but it is harming them and may do them in on November 6. President Trump is still packing them in at rallies much like before in 16. Seems we may have another election night surprise.

The American people will once again prove they are not ignorant nor will they fall for the propaganda of these oppressive communists who pose as democrats.

It is becoming obvious these so called democrats think they can do anything and the rank and file American will support it. For instance the economy is booming right now. So the so called democrats want to raise the taxes back up and they think the majority of Americans want that? Really?

We Americans know if these so called democrats get in office the economy is doomed just as it was under Obama. Any growth under Obama was in spite of his efforts to stymie American prosperity. Many including myself predicted if a conservative got in the office of president and rescinded many of the Obama regulation choking off commerce in America the economy would not only take off with the help of some tax cuts America was bound to absolutely boom perhaps like it had not done ever before. That is exactly what has happened under Donald J Trump. That is what has the left so angry. President Trump is succeeding in spite of all their interferences. If republicans can increase the number of members in each house there is no limit to what President Trump may accomplish in the coming six years. Those accomplishment will help everyone even those opposing President Trump right now. There is little doubt he is making America great again. And yes it was great before!

Oh, one final thought for those who pose as democrats “it’s the economy STUPID!”
