The Senate’s 50-48 confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh sets into motion a series of legal battles that will unfold for years to come over abortion rights, executive power, the administrative state, and other issues yet to be foreseen. These are not the battles progressive activists expected or wanted to fight. It feels like a generational setback. You don’t usually get to pick your battles. They are thrust on you. But it is the fight at hand, and it is only just beginning.
This is a portion of a report from something called The Ben Carson News, a political newsletter from Ben Carson, now Secretary of HUD.
The Democrats are like a pack of vicious dogs with this whole Kavanaugh “crisis”, sinking their teeth in and tearing at the flesh until rivers of blood flow through the street.
They’re crazed lunatics on a seek and destroy mission to annihilate Trump and anyone associated with him.
And the driving force behind them—the reason the left has gone so full-on radical extreme left?
The Deep State.
Presumably Ben isn’t actively managing the publication while in government. And the way these things work in the right wing newsletter world, there’s a decent chance he barely had much involvement with it before he entered the Trump administration. But it’s worth seeing the kinds of things people are reading.
It’s a mere formality at this point, but the Senate is about to vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The voting is set to begin shortly. TPM’s Tierney Sneed is at the Capitol.
