MISCONDUCT IN CONGRESS Week of 2018/09/17
Beginning in the final week of August we have been subjected to the
most
disgusting demonstration of disruption and delay of business in the halls of
Congress in my lifetime. Since the announcement of the nomination of
District of
Columbia Appeal Court Judge Kavanaugh to replace the retiring Mr. Justice
Kennedy there has been a continuing uproar of objection from the 'left side'
(Democrat) of the isle and stated commitment to block, and even 'Bork', his
election. Beginning at the opening session of the hearings in the Judiciary
Committee there have been continual interruptions by, it turns out, PAID
disrupters. Several sources have reported that some attending, who admitted
their opposition, that there was a person outside the chamber who was
passing
out money to those going in with instructions to disrupt the proceedings and
be
paid more if arrested.
My opinion is that security is delinquent in not arresting and
jailing not only
those doing the disrupting but also the person, or persons, with the money.
If
the money distributors were to be detained, perhaps we could be informed,
without question, who was the original source of the funds. Some reports
have
stated that these offenders were aided by one or more Democrat members in
gaining admission to the hearing chamber.
Having said that, we still cannot be sure that one or more of the
'never
Trumper" RINOS might be involved in the delay, disrupt effort. These
individuals are not, in my opinion, to be trusted. Here we have as President
(POTUS) a man who is doing just what he promised in his campaign, much to
the benefit of a vast majority of the citizens, including those who did not
vote
for him. While many profess to dislike to the point of actual 'hate' his
style
and mannerisms, if they would be honest and support the effort instead of
continually attempt to thwart it, the nation, and for that matter the whole
World, would be far better off, and probably have a much lower level of
conflict everywhere.
Frankly it is my opinion that much blame lies with those registered
as
Republican who refuse, and most never intended, to follow the founding
principles of the Republican Party. Thus the label "RINO". It is too bad
that
the Party officials cannot see their way clear to step in and call those
types
out, unless they are actually in sympathy with the obstruct program. In that
case their intent is to increase their own power at the expense of the well
being of the Party and more importantly the Nation.
It seems to me that the Senator chairing the hearings is derelict in
his
duties in not simply ordering that the "gallery be cleared" when some
observers are really disrupters and get out of hand. He should also order
an investigation to determine just who is funding these screamers and bring
that person to judgement for these actions. From all information coming to
me it seems that he is quite ineffectual and perhaps incompetent to be in
the
position placed. Or maybe he has been intimidated by those in opposition
to the nominee and therefor afraid to take positive action. In either case
he
should shape up or be replaced. He should also be more aggressive in
preventing the delaying tactics of the Democrat minority members on the
Committee.
One hopes that the voters will reject those up for re-election this
year
that have participated in the delay and slow down tactics after realizing
that
they really have no valid argument nor the votes to block his being
approved.
All in all the antics going on cast aspersion on the decorum one
expects to be carried out in "the most exclusive club on earth" the 100
member United States Senate. They are showing themselves to be no
better than spoiled, bratty, and mean mouthed children and therefor
unqualified for the seat they occupy. In my memory the Republicans, when
in the minority, most often have rolled over and given a Democrat President
just about whomever he wanted to nominate. As a result the Republic we
were given in 1787 has been substantially damaged to the loss of our
population and its well being.
