Ted Cruz's Opening Statement: Kavanaugh Should Be Confirmed Based on His Eloquent Defense of the Bofa Doctrine Alone
Here is a breakdown of the statement, so you can go to any part that interests you: First Cruz talks about "what this hearing is about and what it is not about," proving that the Democrats have offered no substantive objections to Kavanaugh, as no such objections can plausibly exist, and so turn to "pounding the table" and making beef over silly procedural objections about how many documents they've received. Then he says "But let's talk about those documents for a moment," and notes that 480,000 pages of documents have been produced, which is greater than the number of pages produced for the last five Supreme Court nominees combined. Then he talks about the documents that haven't been produced. These, Cruz says, are almost all documents authored by other people which were merely collated and passed to President Bush by Kavanaugh in his capacity as Staff Secretary, and therefore tell us nothing about Kavanaugh's thinking or beliefs. Further, Cruz says, because these are presidential advisers' communications to the president, they are strictly protected from disclosure by the law. Thus, he concludes, the Democrats are demanding documents precisely because they know these documents cannot be produced at all. Then he asks, "So what is this hearing all about?" He says it's all about the Democrats being unhappy about the voters' considered choice in 2016, and wanting to overturn that. But he notes that this was the first election since Eisenhower which occurred with an open Supreme Court seat in play, and thus the next Supreme Court nominee indirectly on the ballot. And he notes that the issue of judicial appointments was vigorously contested by both Trump and Hillary Clinton, the issue being asked about in every single debate, and with both candidates stating the type of judge they would nominate. Cruz points out that Trump took the "unprecedented" step of publishing a list of his likely Supreme Court picks. He implies without directly stating that Kavanaugh was on this list. (Kavanaugh was in fact on the short list.) Therefore, Cruz concludes, Kavanaugh has something he calls "super-legitimacy" as a Supreme Court nominee, as the voters were already told that he might well be a Supreme Court choice by Trump and chose to elect Trump. Cruz calls this a de facto "referendum" on the acceptability of Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court justice. Finally, Cruz points out that progressives use the courts to win policy fights they cannot win at the ballot, and points out that America has been debating big policy issues that the left would like to win via the courts. And in the face of that, they chose Trump, who promised to appoint constitutionalists. He specifically notes that every Democrat Senator voted to gut the First Amendment, and that many Democrat Senators voted to repeal the Religious Freedom Act signed into law by Bill Clinton, and that almost every Democrat wants to effectively repeal the Second Amendment. Huge debates about which virtually every voter was aware -- and every voter was aware what kind of candidates each nominee would select. So again, Cruz concludes, the Democrats are simply trying to undo the will of the American people. Really good stuff.Comments

Their end game is impeaching trump, and undoing everything he's accomplished. They want to be able to say 30 years down the line that Kanavaugh was an illegitimate justice and every ruling he participates in should be revisited.

Yeah, but the left was going to do that no matter what he said, no matter how much was produced, no matter what doctrines were followed. So it's so inevitable that it isn't even worth thinking about now. Dems no longer accept that anyone except them has any say, and they are going to fight to overturn anything we do, always.

ON THURSDAY, SENATE Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Democratic colleagues tried and failed to gut the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
By a vote of 54 to 42, the "world's most deliberative body" failed to muster the special majority necessary to pass constitutional amendments, once again reminding us how wise the founders were to have attached special requirements to the amendment process.
The measure they killed, which was proposed by Democratic New Mexico Sen. Tom Udall, would have changed the Constitution and more than 225 years of American political process by giving Congress the power to pass laws that determined what did and what did not constitute heretofore protected political speech.

Cruz and Trump have intelligence that overrides their ego's, though. Once the fight calms down, they look at the situation and say "ok, this is the time we need to push that ego back down and do what's smart." And if that means making peace in some old fights, well so be it.
McCain *never* had enough intelligence to overrule his ego - that ego always carried the day, which is why he died a bitter, vicious, grudge mongering old sorehead.

Even I'm not comfortable with this, as it turns the major Republican advantage for the next six years into a helish free for all.
Just have the Supreme Court, or Congress if they find their balls, restrict federal judges from any further attempts to annul executive decisions at any level but the one their circuit actually oversees.

Ted said some regrettable things about Trump. Scalpweasel said some regrettable things about Cruz, which I hear that kid who was not shot at will be putting on billboards. Trump was just better at rude insults than Cruz, as he is at everything.
But everybody knows it's 'way past time we put such primary divisiveness behind us, manned up, and keep making America greater. So, Ted's doing right, it seems. Trump is backing him up. Texas will not let us down. Schoolboy and his billboards might as well all say, "This is how you get more Trump."

If the Repubs keep the House and expand the Senate, then that is big news for Trump in 2020. It it plays out that way, you could see a dominating right-side of government.

If Clarence Thomas steps down while trump is pres--sad day!--put Ted Cruz up for it. A solidly conservative, young, wise latino replacing him would tick the diversity boxes and yet drive the left nuts.

Cruz should replace RBG when the time comes.
Yeah, and that is what this is all about. They know that the next seat will realy tilt the court. Could be 2. That is why the Dems (each oily and creepy) are really worried. If the Repubs keep the House and expand the Senate, then that is big news for Trump in 2020. It it plays out that way, you could see a dominating right-side of government.
Trump will then go down as a legendary POTUS and world figure. Vlad is probably watching all this in horror.

But of course when you say he has changed 180 degrees, you are talking about his attitude toward Trump, not his basic political beliefs, which have NOT changed.
And this is true of just about all the primary season's anti-Trumpers who strongly supported Cruz for his own sake rather than merely as a last-ditch effort to stop Trump. They have not changed their principles but they have changed their view of Trump now that they see what he is doing.
The equation Trump enthusiasts made between Cruz supporters and Nevertrumpers was always false. I don't know a single (true vs desperate) Cruz supporter who did not EASILY vote for Trump over Hillary.
The true Nevertrumpers come out of the RINO branch --- and note that they have changed their own (previously stated) views solely to bash Trump. THEY are the ones who have done a 180 degree turn.

SO over this summer, the BETO yard sign has become a cultural meme for the left, all of the True Believers are signaling to each other how much More Virtuous they are than all of these other Texans who they have quietly hated for the last 30 years, but who they haven't known how to get at since the libs were outnumbered.
Sure, it's enthusiasm, but more than that, it's a pseudo-religious movement intended to give them all an excuse to publicly display their hatred for the rest of us. Now us conservatives aren't driven to signing into this big sign campaign, because we don't actually feel the intense burning hatred for all of our neighbors the way they do - to us this is just a political race. To Them, it's a visceral expression of everything they are angry about in their lives.
Every time I know someone who has a BETO sign in their yard, that is the type of person who is in that house.

I supported Cruz in the primary because I had concerns about Trump actually governing as a conservative given his past flirtations with New York lefties. I think Cruz had some of the same concerns (as did many of us here, including Ace...listen to the podcasts from early 2016.) This didn't make us "never Trump" just "I have some reservations about Trump."
But, Trump has pretty much governed as a conservative and actually gotten some things done. I've come around on him and I think many of us have.

They were.
They were still pushing Katshit even when he was mathematically eliminated because they thought he could win OH and deny Trump the need number of delegates and get them a contested convention.
Cruz, at that point, if he ran the table, still had a small, small chance of getting the most delegates.
They never, ever wanted the voters to choose the nominee-- unless it was their guy.

That isn't quite the way I meant it; but I will say that every Methodist and Presbyerian clergy member (or church officer) that I know of in my town, and I know several, has got a Beto sign in their yard. There's a Baptist mega-church in the area, generally thought of as a conservative bastion, as one of their members is the local state rep, and the hatred of the old line churches for the Baptists and their allies is legendary here.
Interestingly there's not nearly as many BETO signs in hispanic or black neighborhoods, the people on the ground aren't that into politics. This is a Rich White Virtue signaling thing.

Of course they won't mention Ted's point; that these documents cannot be produced any more than the copies of Obama's and McCain's birth certificates that Brennan stole from the State Department.
They call it "chaos" when Sarsour screams, but it was all carefully planned. Democrats had to invite her. You don't just wander in from the street. And they do this at every confirmation, unlike Republicans, who never do this. But Trump.
Nor did they mention her penchant for flashing the ISIS sign.
It's kinda' weird when you think about it; they're mad because they think Kavanaugh won't tyrannically impose his values on others. Of course, it's really their values they want tyrannically imposed on us.
Above all, the #HospiceMedia will never ask the real question; Why?
Why do they need Hawaii judges to invent and impose their values on everyone in the first place?
A: Because their values are unpopular, perverse, treasonous, dangerous, stupid and counter-productive and they can't pass them honestly so they prefer to hide behind judges.

There's a reason why ppl move to an Evangelical church from one of the old line (Methodist, Lutheran, Episco, Presby, et al)
They became very wobbly on the Bible and Esp. What Jesus was saying/said.
I remember making the transition back in the late 50's. What was taught and preached was like night and day.
Gave me a foundation that I am very thankful for. (as you might guess I strayed for quite a while. Only recently recovered my faith. (since about late '90's) when I realized what a mess I'd made of my life. (even tho I did some good along the way)

What will get publicized is the histrionics. I am not saying that it will do the Dems any good, but there is no way that a reasoned speech from Cruz is going to be compared with the wild-eyed BS that the Dems are doing.

Even if it were overturned (as it should be, since it is made up "precedent"), would there be much of a difference? Most abortion providers operate in states that will be pro-abortion-on-demand until the end of time. In the states likely to restrict or ban abortion, abortion providers are already few and far between.

And see above - the Beto sign thing has become a pseudo-religious virtue signaling move among the hard core lib believers, which includes a significant amount of upper class whites in University towns.

As I said, it depends on the particular church. I know a number of conservative ministers in my denomination. They tend to be the ethnic ones and their churches are growing. We have a number of Korean pastors, for instance-very firm on "orthodox" theology and the Bible." I am glad, however, that your faith in Jesus and Scripture is foundational for you. What I tell people who are looking is go to a church and see if you feel the preacher is Christ centered and Bible based without guessing based on what their church name is. It may take some searching around.

Beto signs? I'm in Austin, which I know is left wing, so I don't know
what it's like in other cities in TX, but I drive Uber so I've been all
over this town, probably in every neighborhood. I must have seen tens
of thousands of Beto signs here. I think every residential street has
at least one. In all that time (last 2 months), I've seen exactly ONE
Ted Cruz sign. It's like he's not running here.
Is this a real grass roots thing? Is Beto really that much more
popular than Cruz? Are the Cruz signs being stolen? I don't get it.

There was some sort of plant they used and it's mentioned in several sources but apparently it's extinct. The thinking is that they used it so much that it just went poof.

Yes, the real Roe v. Wade, broke up the level of state interference by trimester. No interference the 1st, Reasonable restriction the 2nd, unlimited the 3rd--with the health of the mother the only restriction.
It was some later decision that made a girl who really x 3 doesn't want to have a baby and will be depressed "the health of the mother".

How are the prices on free range zero hormone unmedicated chickens?
Neighbor of my parents has a bunch of "free range" chickens - which means they are too lazy to keep them in a pen and let them wander all over. Until that one El Camino came flying down the road and there was an explosion of feathers. Quite a spectacle - a handspring with double somersaults and a twist.

Are we denying now that Trump would tell his supporters to knock the crap out of protesters/ hecklers?
That's what Cruz was basing his statement on though he was wrong on who the real culprits were. It was in the middle of a contentious primary . It was wrong but not any worse than the things Trump said about Cruz. It's over, move on. That's what it appears Trump and Cruz are doing.

Under Anne Richards, state government started to go far left in every area. They pretended it didn't but it did, and people were disgusted not just with her, but with Democrat governance in general. That's what fueled GWB's upset, but he was just the beneficiary of a movement that was happening in all offices - he was at the right place at the right time, more than anything else.
Now after this happened, Democrats *Could* have figured out what they were doing wrong, and why they were getting unpopular - BUT they listened to people preachind Demographics, and in the late 90's they made a CONSCIOUS and deliberate decision to target only Hispanic and Black voters. A past Texas Dem Chairman was even caught live saying openly that he didn't care if any more white men voted for their party, he had figured that they didn't need them anymore. And as they turned themselves into the Black and Hispanic party, they went far, far left in all of their other positions, and so brought to the top those white voters that have always loved the idea of being far left radicals, about 15 - 20% of the white voting population.
Republicans have controlled all State Offices in Texas for years now, not because they're so good - they're not, they've got plenty of idiots here like everywhere - but because Democrats have made the decision to become a totally race based far left radical party. That is the last 25 years of Texas politics, in a nutshell.
And now the Dems are taking that strategy national. It's worked for them in places like California - of course California is going to be economically destroyed soon because of it, but that's another story.

A lot of the political violence lately might also be having an effect.
In other words, people might be avoiding putting up signs to not make
targets of themselves for the temper tantrums to follow.

Let me tell you, in Beto's own words, how he sees that happening. If he gets 50% turnout among hispanics in the Mexican Border Counties, he might have enough votes to win.
The Fly in his Ointment: Voter turnout in the Mexican border counties has NEVER been higher than 22%. Not any election, ever. Wendy Davis made the same claims - Wendy Davis lost by 20 points.
and how they dems get all these great polls that show the race so close - they concentrate all of their polling in those Beto strongholds where history says the vast majority of people never actually vote.

It's an attempt to give the impression of inevitability, of representing the vast majority, something that the Reds do reflexively. See, e.g., "Bolsheviks," who were in fact a tiny minority of the Social Democratic Labor Party, but were the ones left after what later came to be called the Menshevik faction walked out of a meeting.

so, does that mean cruz should cruise?"
When Cruz isn't required to be in D. C., he is campaigning in 3 cities a day. He's doing just as much campaigning as Beto, but you wouldn't know it because the MSM has imposes a full blackout on any Cruz campaign news, and refuse to even mention it. Again, to give the impression that Beto is doing so much more. But the people who actually see Cruz at his stops aren't bothered by that. They don't pay attention to media anyways.
Posted by: Tom Servo at September 04, 2018 04:17 PM (k1TUh)
Cruz should replace RBG when the time comes.
Since only The Lord knows her appointed time, it isn't up to RBG to say how much longer she will sitting on the court.
And this hearing is going to be seen as mild compared to the one for the nominee to take RBG's place.
With RBG's death you shall here the wailing and gnashing of teeth as unto the depths of the nether regions.
I hope it happens the same week as Mueller gets canned.
