Thursday Short Cuts

“Sadly, the Left demands more due process for accused terrorists at Guantanamo Bay than for well-qualified Supreme Court nominees.” —Gary Bauer

Upright: “The Democrats and the media have spent a lot of the last couple of years talking about undermining basic democratic norms — they should look in the mirror. Talk about undermining basic democratic norms of due process and the presumption of innocence.” —Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)

For the record: “The only senator on the Judiciary Committee to dismiss Ford’s claim was Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who sat on it for weeks until it was ripe enough to weaponize. The Republicans instantly offered to give Ford a hearing, in private or in public or even in California.” —Jonah Goldberg

Double standards: “It’s fun watching all of these liberals suddenly transform into teetotalers scandalized at the notion of teenagers drinking and partying.” —Matt Walsh

Actually, there is: “There’s no presumption of innocence or guilt when you have a nominee before you.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)

Flashbacks: “The next person that refers to an FBI report as being worth anything obviously doesn’t understand anything. [The] FBI explicitly does not in this or any other case reach a conclusion. Period.” —Joe Biden during the 1991 Clarence Thomas hearings

Obstruction agenda: “Saving the Supreme Court from Trump’s clutches has always involved a very complicated two-step: first, block Kavanaugh, then fight like hell to win back the Senate. If Kavanaugh drops out, we’re halfway there. If Democrats are able to win back the Senate, we’d have a path to blocking Trump from picking any of the archconservatives on his shortlist.” —former Hillary Clinton adviser Brian Fallon

Braying Jackass: “In a way, I think it goes with the territory. I don’t like that [protesters] were blocking [Ted Cruz’] wife, but that’s what he signed up for. And as a strict constitutionalist, which Ted Cruz is, he knows it is protected under the First Amendment.” —CNN’s Don Lemon

Alpha Jackass: “So Kavanaugh gets confirmed to the Supreme Court, OK? Well, in return we get to cut that pesky penis of his off in front of everyone.” —misogynist Jimmy Kimmel

And last… “Sadly, the Left demands more due process for accused terrorists at Guantanamo Bay than for well-qualified Supreme Court nominees.” —Gary Bauer
