The Evening Campaign Update
(Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Before we get to the Twitter hijinks, here is today’s Public Service Announcement.: David Bernstein posted the following at Instapundit today. Next time some leftist nitwit tells you we now have a “far-right Court”, whip this out and prove him wrong:
WE DON’T HAVE A “RADICAL RIGHT-WING SUPREME COURT,” despite lots of mewing on the left to the contrary. Here are some things that would be at the top of the list for a radical right-wing Court: Here are the sorts of things that would be at the top of the agenda for a radical right-wing Court: (1) ban abortion nationwide as a violation of the right to life protected by the due process clause; (2) rule that publicly-provided (but not funded) education is unconstitutional because it inherently involves viewpoint discrimination by the government, or at least require vouchers for those who object to the public school curriculum; (3) overrule an 1898 precedent and completely abolish birthright citizenship; (4) Use the First Amendment as a sword to require “fairness” in the left-dominated media. Not only is the Supreme Court not about to do any of things, I don’t think any of these things would even get one vote on the current Court. Moreover, merely bringing the scope of Congress’s constitutional back to where it was, say, in 1935, which was already much broader than the original meaning of the Commerce power, probably wouldn’t get more than one or two votes. What you are looking at right now is a conservative Court that will only affect society on the margins, not a “radical right-wing” Court.
That point when the Pantsuit Princess went full-on Nazi. Can the rest of her party be far behind?:

Come to think of it, the Kavanaugh smear campaign may have just demonstrated that the rest of her party is actually way ahead of her.
Example number 45,045 why President Donald Trump should never. stop. tweeting. Not ever.:
The paid D.C. protesters are now ready to REALLY protest because they haven’t gotten their checks – in other words, they weren’t paid! Screamers in Congress, and outside, were far too obvious – less professional than anticipated by those paying (or not paying) the bills!

Meanwhile, your fake news media mavens were busy spinning the Nikki Haley resignation in the most negative way possible.:

But hey, Jake Tapper works at CNN, after all, where the fake journalists get rewarded for spewing outrageous falsehoods like this.:

Here, Tom Nelson sums up the essence of the ongoing ClimateScam in 280 characters.:
Warmists: At a mtg, we decided U need to spent $40T & change your lifestyles to adjust Earth's temp.
Skeptics: Can we see a transcript or video of that mtg?
W: No
S: Can you tell us what global average temp you want?
W: No
S: Are you living your suggested lifestyles?
W: No

Earlier in the day, yours truly had tweeted about the report Mr. Nelson was referencing.:
Hey, y'all, here's what the pushers of the #ClimateScam want to do to you next. Aren't they great? #smdh

And to think that Ted Cruz is pounding poor Irish Bob O’Rourke for supporting a comparatively miserly 24 cent increase in the gas tax.
This is true, which is what makes her such a perfect Democrat senator.:

Today’s news moves at a faster pace than ever. Whatfinger.com is my go-to source for keeping up with all the latest events in real time.
The Interstate Commerce Clause, as interpreted in the disastrous Wickard v. Filburn, gave the feds a lock on private property, which was furthered by the equally disastrous Kelo v. New London, Conn, which basically means that you can’t own your own property if it’s inconvenient (for the government) that you own it, and (Wickard) says you can’t use your property for commerce if someone claims it interferes with a government “seed-and-feed” program (crop subsidies.) In the Wickard case, a farmer wanted to grow his own crops for his own cattle, but he exceeded what the government would allow. Thus the Interstate Commerce Clause was used to push Big Government. Had Clinton been elected, it’s likely that you’d have to get a permit to grow your own garden, because it would interfere with Kroger’s ability to sell you tomatoes!
A real “rightwing court” would find a way to revisit that decision, and the Kelo case, and nullify them both.
