Month: July 2018

As leftists prepared for the end of the world on Monday — also known as the announcement of President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick — they worked themselves into a fever pitch of fury and dread — and forgetfulness.

In anticipation of Trump’s announcement, protesters gathered at the Supreme Court to yell and scream about the justice they knew was going to be the absolute worst — even though they didn’t know who it was yet.

Once Trump announced that he had chosen Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the same protesters began shouting “Hey hey! Ho ho! Kavanaugh has got to go!”

While it’s an extremely overdone chant, but we have to give these activists credit at least for remembering his name.

For another group of leftists, we can’t say the same.

The Women’s March — a group of radical, leftist feminists — was so prepared to lose their minds over Trump’s pick, they had a pre-written statement condemning him or her.

There was just one problem: Whoever wrote the statement forgot to actually write Kavanaugh’s name in the email sent to their supporters and take out the placeholder of “XX.”

“In response to Donald Trump’s nomination of XX to the Supreme Court of the United States, the Women’s March released the following statement,” the email reads.

Oops. It’s almost like they decided ahead of time to react with total hysteria no matter who Trump picked.

But even though they didn’t know who the appointment was yet, they already had their statement written to proclaim that the appointment meant a “death sentence for thousands of women in the United States.”

“Trump’s announcement today is a death sentence for thousands of women in the United States,” the statement reads. “Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination threatens to move our nation’s highest court dangerously to the right and further erode protections for every marginalized group in America.”

It’s not just radical leftist groups who decided they were going to lambaste any of Trump’s Supreme Court pick, no matter who it was.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has made it clear from the time Judge Anthony Kennedy retired from the court that he would oppose Trump’s nominee.

It’s going to be a fight in the Senate to get Kavanaugh confirmed — but these leftists have made it very clear that would’ve been the case no matter who Trump picked.

So, the speculation is over: Brett Kavanaugh is the president’s choice to replace the retiring Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. And the media, predictably, isn’t very happy.

That being said, even ABC couldn’t get away with the tweet it made about Kavanaugh. Only it wasn’t really about Kavanaugh, for reasons I’ll explain in a bit.

The tweet was an advertisement for that night’s edition of “Nightline,” a show I’m surprised is still around since I haven’t watched it since the days it was hosted by Ted Koppel’s hairpiece. Apparently, it’s still on, and they don’t think much of Trump’s pick.

“Tonight on Nightline, (Terry Moran) reports on the controversial Supreme Court Justice pick and the possible implications for the country,” the tweet read.

As Sen. Ted Cruz pointed out in a series of tweets endorsing Kavanaugh’s nomination, this is a man who has served on the D.C. Court of Appeals — generally considered the second-highest court in the land right after the Supreme Court — and has published 300 opinions. He’s conservative, sure, but accomplished and well within the judicial mainstream.

For over a decade, Judge Kavanaugh has served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, often referred to as the second highest court in the land.

He has over 300 published opinions, with a strong record of defending the #SecondAmendment, safeguarding the separation of powers, reining in the unchecked power of federal agencies, and preserving our precious religious liberties.

This was apparently “controversial” to ABC News. As the Daily Wire noted, this drew a lot of angry responses, including from plenty of blue-checked accounts.

And there was a good reason. See, the tweet wasn’t talking about how “controversial” Kavanaugh was. It couldn’t have been.

Eagle-eyed readers might have noticed the time-stamp on ABC’s tweet. If you didn’t, here’s the punchline: At the time ABC posted it, the “controversial” Kavanaugh hadn’t even been nominated and nobody actually knew the identity of who Trump would pick.

In other words, anything would have been controversial because controversy generates ratings. As it turned out, Trump went with the least controversial pick he could have — one who is conservative, certainly, but has also an established record of respecting the Constitution and established precedent.

There was, thus, much mirth throughout the conservative Twittersphere:

The President hasn’t even named a nominee yet so it’s very interesting to report them as “controversial.” https://t.co/LwEtUzkU0h

It wasn’t long before a correction was issued:

The possible implications for the country: A lot of unforced errors on the media side of things, for starters.

Oh, and corrections. Lots and lots of corrections.
