In going over the news of the day, I happened to stumble across a picture of Nancy Pelosi. I don’t even remember what the write-up was about, particularly. However, I do remember thinking that she has one advantage that most people in DC do not have…. An immunity to sex scandals.
It’s not that I believe she subscribes to any particular morality…(in truth I believe her to be about as amoral as they come.) It’s more like anyone getting a good look at her would never believe it.
I suppose that what brought this thought to mind when I when I saw that picture, this morning is reading about the latest Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson. As you might expect the Democrats and there’s stenographers in the mainstream media were heaping praise on the woman.
You see, I remember the attempts to scandalize Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas, to name but two.
That’s always been plan B for the Democrats, when plan A to disqualify conservatives from the bench doesn’t work. I’m thinking we’re probably not going to see that happening in this case.
We are also not going to see GOP senators digging into the woman’s yearbooks in an effort to discredit her. We will not see Republicans dragging up Republican operatives from her erstwhile classmates desperately trying to drag up something anything that will take her out of the picture.
What we will see is Democrats using their majority status to ram through the nomination process somebody who’s only apparent qualifications are that she’s the right sex and the right color, and that she’ll tell us all that the constitution says it’s okay to kill babies. Those qualifications were primary in Joe Biden’s description of her when he announced the nomination and in his comments about her since.
With this, the Democrats are trying to present themselves as champions of diversity, which is of course absurd.
Rush Limbaugh used to say that the only diversity that Democrats don’t like is diversity of thought. I Dare to suggest to you that this hearing process and the subsequent and inevitable confirmation, will prove that out handily.
An equally potent indication of fear about diversity of thought, comes from the reactions we’ve been seeing across the left about Clarence Thomas being in the hospital these last few days. I suppose I’ll get told that Clarence Thomas isn’t a real black and I’m just a racist for even mentioning it.
But watch these confirmation hearings over the next few days and then tell me I’m wrong in my observations here.
