But it may feel a bit more personal than that to Kavanaugh.

MICHAEL WALSH: This is the High-Water Mark of the ‘Resistance’ — for Now.
When the judge reacted the way any normal man with a spine would, and punched back against his tormentors, Demorats and the media allies complained about his “temperament,” as if the foremost qualification for public office is how much abuse Kavanaugh could endure — or, to use the mot de jour much beloved by the Left, “survive.” Now they are complaining that the Court, with Kavanaugh’s ascension to its ranks, has lost “legitimacy,” and will continue to smear him with baseless charges, operating along well-orchestrated principles of Leftist argumentation:
- Post a counter-factual (Kavanaugh is a rapist)

Americans of all political persuasions have woken up this week—some with exhilaration, some with despair—to the realization that, as the essayist Midge Decter once wrote, they are going to have to join the side they are on.”

NBC REPORTER BECOMES FULL-BLOWN ACTIVIST AFTER SENATE’S KAVANAUGH CONFIRMATION:
NBC reporter Ken Dilanian tweeted on Sunday that states with varying population sizes should not get the same representation in the U.S. Senate.
Dilanian suggested in his tweet that it was unfair that Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Saturday, quoting a Washington Post article that said, “Senators representing less than half the U.S. are about to confirm a nominee opposed by most Americans.”
“It may not happen in our lifetimes, but the idea that North Dakota and New York get the same representation in the Senate has to change,” Dilanian tweeted.
Just think of the media as Democratic operatives with lavaliers, and it all makes senses.
BLUE WAVE? Multiple pollsters now warning Dems they may fall short of winning the House.
Nobody should get cocky in this election cycle.
