You Can't Always Get What You Want

It’s the Constitution that protects our right to happily, freely disagree. And that is why so many of the rising, radical left hate it. 

~ Jim DeMint

Former Senator Jim DeMint's article on the left's fanatical opposition to Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett sums up perfectly the core problem in America today. The left has highjacked the Democratic party. Much like the zealots of religious inquisitions in past centuries, left-wingers simply will not tolerate dissent from their own rigidly "orthodox" views. 

For how many decades have conservative Americans quietly tolerated a left-leaning Supreme Court? It's been for all of my adult life. Conservatives accepted it, we voted, and we waited. The pendulum is swinging back now, as pendulums do. But the radical left can't abide the very thought. They are fighting in a crazed, almost hysterical manner, against Coney Barrett's confirmation to the nation's highest court. The radical left is frantic at the prospect of losing their private boutique congress, the Supreme Court, where for half a century they have been forcing through their progressive ends through judicial fiat rather than legislative action. 

Why do left-wing legislative efforts so often fail? Simply because the majority of the American people do not support them. The Supreme Court has stood as the left's backstop in their rulings. That's about to change.

The judge herself is placidly impervious to the Democratic senators' persistent personal and professional attacks. The left has no ammunition against this stellar nominee, who is so poised, knowledgeable, and pleasant in the face of blatant hostility. Amy Coney Barrett will be the next Supreme Court justice. Deal with it, Lefties.

Hon. Amy Coney Barrett
