Lex Anteinternet: Monday at the Bar on a Tuesday. Kavanaugh Hearing...: Hearing on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh commence today. . . which means, in all likelihood, a week of Democratic grandstanding, ...And not to be disappointed, day one turned out to be just as big of circus as I thought it might be. Even bigger really.
Which is not to say that there are not real reasons to seriously ponder the Kavanaugh nomination. His views on executive privilege, for example, really do deserve close attention from both Republicans and Democrats. And the Administrations withholding of thousands of pages of documents pertaining to him is more than a little questionable.
But most of the cry will be egocentric in nature and amount to the odd claim that he's a threat to democracy as he would suggest that the Constitution doesn't favor Liberal enshrined rights and actually does protect those rights, but pretty much only those rights, it actually mentions, whether you are keen on those rights or not. Everything else, he''ll suggest, the people need to make their mind up on their own, through their legislatures.
So, once again, from the Liberal prospective here, at the end of the day, the biggest threat to democracy is the people. You really shouldn't let them decide things for themselves.
