The De- legitimization of the Supreme Court Has Begun

CALLER: You know, I think that the senators knew they weren’t going to get the votes, the Democrat senators, that is, to oppose Kavanaugh and make sure he’s not on the bench in the Supreme Court. So I was wondering, do you think that the way they framed him with the media is something they’re going to use later on to frame the entire Supreme Court, when they don’t get their way?

Here’s the question: “Would it have been better for the GOP if Kavanaugh had failed, because then the base would be so mad; so ticked off they’d all come out to vote in November?”

CARVILLE: You know, that’s the money question, and I just found myself today for the Democrats, Kavanaugh is worth a lot more alive than dead. This is not gonna go away. They’re not gonna stop doing stories on Kavanaugh. They’re can… You know, they’re gonna keep him front and center. He’s not gonna go away. And had they defeated him, they would have just picked someone equally as right wing as Kavanaugh and have rammed him through in a lame-duck session. I think today’s result is probably as good as you can hope for. Kavanaugh is gonna be an issue in 2018. He’s gonna be an issue in 2020. The Democrats are gonna keep digging up stuff. The press is not gonna stop all the things that they’re working on about Kavanaugh.

RUSH: Bingo. That’s already begun. The delegitimization of the Supreme Court has already begun. Why, none other than the woman that hired Kagan… Sorry, that’s her name. The woman that hired Kavanaugh to teach at Harvard, Elena Kagan, who was the dean at Harvard Law and hired the guy, who was so good, she’s now a Supreme Court justice, thanks to Obama. She has said it would not be good for him to be on the court.

It would not be good, too controversial. The integrity of the court would come into question. There’s no question. This is what the left does! They lose control over an institution, the institutions thus, in their minds, is corrupt, unreliable, and must be eliminated from the power structure. You’re exactly right, the assaults on Kavanaugh are gonna continue, and they will become as they already are becoming, assaults on the court and rulings itself.

RUSH: Well, it sure sounds to me like there’s a coordinated effort to continue destroying Kavanaugh. And here’s Carville (impression), “That’s the best thing we could have hoped for! Best thing is to have that guy on a court and keep looking into the guy! If he’s up there on the court we can just keep lookin’ into the guy, and everybody gonna do it! They’d just ram somebody else in there! If Kavanaugh had been beaten, they’d just ram somebody else in lame-duck session we wouldn’t know what hit us.”
