The Cowardice of Republican Senators Murkowski and Collins

-


Just do the damn job.

Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) were voted into office by their constituents to do a job and fulfill their responsibilities according to the Constitution.  Furthermore, as Republicans, they were elected not only to represent their State in the U.S. Senate but to support the Republican President this country chose, Donald J. Trump.  

Murkowski and Collins, were elected to six-year terms that end January 20th, 2021, not September 18th 2020 as they would have you believe.

Just do the damn job.

I would like the two outlying Senators to keep in mind the reason Supreme Court nominations and confirmations have become so contentious is due to Barack Obama's and Harry Reid's outrageous decision to use the Nuclear Option and change the process for confirming Federal Judges which was in place to force the parties to make concessions to each other to ensure confirmation - thus stopping each party from confirming extremists to the Federal bench.  But the left believed, even as far back as 2013-14, they had turned the corner towards a socialist agenda and would carry the 2016 election easily, allowing them to break the back of SCOTUS with ideological activists who would make law from the bench.  

Obama was against the Nuclear Option back in 2005 when Bush was President and Obama was a junior Senator from Illinois - "What (the American people) don't expect is for one party, be it Republican or Democrat, to change the rules in the middle of the game so they can make all the decisions while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet," Obama said on the Senate floor in April 2013. He added, "If the right of free and open debate is taken away from the minority party and the millions of Americans who ask us to be their voice, I fear the partisan atmosphere in Washington will be poisoned to the point where no one will be able to agree on anything."  

But when it benefitted the Democratic Party, Obama was of a mind that basically said 'Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead and let the Republicans eat cake!'

At the time, Reid and Obama were warned by then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who stated Reid was "sacrificing his reputation and the institution [Senate]."  

McConnell continued, "No majority leader wants written (sic) on his tombstone that he presided over the end of the Senate," McConnell said. "Well, if this majority leader caves to the fringes and let's this happen, I'm afraid that's exactly what they'll write... I just hope the majority leader thinks about his legacy, the future of his party, and - most importantly - the future of our country before he acts."

It would seem McConnell is a seer of epic proportions, adding - “There not a doubt in my mind that if the majority breaks the rules of the Senate to change the rules of the Senate with regard to nominations, the next majority will do it for everything,” McConnell said. 

Backed by Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN),  McConnell brought up this scenario -

“I wouldn’t be able to argue, a year and a half from now if I were the majority leader, to my colleagues that we shouldn’t enact our legislative agenda with a simple 51 votes, having seen what the previous majority just did,” he said. “I mean there would be no rational basis for that.”

Murkowski, Collins... Just do the damn job.

After what the Democrats did - without remorse - to SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh, if Murkowski and Collins - who are up for re-election in November - don't have the stomach, fortitude or courage to fulfill their duties in the face of raging pressure from an out-of-control, far-left Progressive faction of the Democratic Socialist Party, then they need to lay down their arms and head home now.  

The stakes are too high to allow cowards in the ranks.

When the Democratic Party - The Party of Socialism, the Party of riots, the Party of violence, the Party of BLM Marxists, the Party of Antifa fascists, the Party of non-stop baseless investigations and allegations of a duly elected President, the Party of treason, the Party of sedition, the Party of lies and the Party of educational indoctrination - when that Party cries foul because senators fulfill their duties by confirming a constitutionally nominated jurist during a Presidential four-year term, you know they have gone off the rails! The Democrats would have you believe the senate doing their job was an egregious act of epic proportions! And due to this madness, the full weight of what this confirmation means to this country, to our way of life, and to our Constitution should be crystal clear and in razor-sharp focus.

It means Americans win.  

A confirmation means all Americans win, even those on the Left who either don't understand or don't care, will have their freedoms protected for a generation or more.  It means Donald Trump's Presidency - with the exception of Abraham Lincoln's - will go down in U.S. history as the most influential and meaningful in the annals of this country no matter if he wins or loses the November 3rd elections.

Just do the damn job.


Murkowski and Collins need to understand the significance of what is playing out right now, how many of the citizens of the States of this country voted for President Trump for this reason alone - The Supreme Court of the United States.  A SCOTUS that follows the Constitution the way it was written will protect us from the Democrats Socialist agenda, protect us from "hope and change," protect us from ideological activists, and protect patriot Americans as we continue the fight against the rising tide of globalism, "free" everything and imagined, divisive victimhood thrust upon the downtrodden by Democrats seeking votes.

Murkowski and Collins are worried about their re-election campaigns, afraid a vote may hurt their chances.  I will tell them this, I can only imagine the disappointment of your constituents come November 3rd if you refuse to vote or support this confirmation.  You will have placed your own interests ahead of your constituents, your state, and your country... and for that, you will not be forgiven.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a fighter, a stalwart, and a trailblazer who didn't back down from the fight.  Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins would do well to see the value of those virtues and fight to defend the Constitutional confirmation of Ms. Ginsburg's replacement.

NOVEMBER 3rd WE MAKE OUR STAND

Trump's BOMBSHELL Move OWNS Schumer

It was a sight to behold... a Masterclass in political maneuvering, one-upmanship, and pre-game planning that the Left never saw coming. The Left always view themselves as the smart ones, as intellectually superior.  They scoff at the Orange Man, calling him a buffoon, a liar, and a man of low intellect who was placed in office by the  "non- college educated"  voting populace. The Left laughs with haughty derision when it's suggested President Trump is playing 4-D chess while the Democrats around him are babies laying on their backs, sucking on their pacifiers, gleefully swatting at the rainbow-colored, unicorn mobile hanging above their cribs. But this week the President showed Democrats just how easy it is to lead Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Jeffries down the primrose path to a stuttering, humiliating defeat. It was a thing of beauty to be appreciated and applauded. Setting the stage... Congress is embroiled in a fight to push through a Continuing Resolutio...

The Moral High Ground and Social Media - The Justification of Hate

Increasing the distance between the [combatants]—whether by emphasizing their differences or by increasing the chain of responsibility between the aggressor and his victim allows for an increase in the degree of aggression. — Ben Shalit The Psychology of Conflict and Combat” In Lt. Col. David Grossman's book -   On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society - he explains the further removed a combatant is from his enemy, the easier it is to attack and kill without emotion, without sympathy and most importantly, without remorse.   According to Lt. Col. Grossman, "t he enemy combatant as 'sub-human' is what psychologists call 'in-group bias.'  By devaluing those who are not of our 'tribe,' they are viewed as threats.  That bias is manipulated with propaganda and indoctrination, which motivates and justifies the 'tribes' hate and actions towards another clan."  In other words, dehumanizing the enemy places the atta...

Deportation - An Open Letter to the President

Dear President Trump,  First, I want to say thank you for doing your level best to follow through on your campaign promises of implementing tariffs to attain fair and equal trade deals, working towards peace in Ukraine and Israel, regaining energy independence, protecting our country from terrorists and terrorist organizations from both abroad and within, while ending the "climate change" hoax and "Green New Deal" money pits.  And let's not forget your hardcore attempts to cut wasteful spending in government (DOGE), shutting down and or downsizing useless Departments such as the Department of Education, and bloated deep-state entrenched entities such as the Pentagon, FBI, etc., while laying off unnecessary government employees, shredding the taxpayer funded NGO slush funds like USAID - used to feed kickbacks to politicians and world elites alike - and working tirelessly to defund and kill tax payer funded, left-wing propaganda machines such as NPR and PBS.  But,...
