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.
