It
seems that way. In July the so-called
conservatives were very downcast about the naming of Judge Kavanaugh to replace
Justice Kennedy:
. . .
On
Tuesday, the American Family Association, one of the leading conservative
pro-life and pro-family Christian organizations in the country, issued a press
release opposing Kavanuagh.
The
AFA said it is “deeply concerned about how he might ultimately rule on issues
related to abortion and religious liberty.”
. . .
Libertarian
Fox & Friends
panelist Judge Andrew Napolitano also expressed his concerns about the
nomination, affirming his belief that Kavanaugh was the “swamp pick.”
Napolitano
stated
on Tuesday that he was “disappointed in the president because this is not the
type of person he said he would pick. Justice [Neil] Gorsuch was. [Brett
Kavanaugh] is at the heart and soul of the D.C. establishment against whom the
president railed.”
. . .
Kavanaugh
is “the establishment pick. He was the Bush pick,” Santorum said. “It just
seems like, you know, Trump in this case just bowed to the elite in Washington
and I think that’s going to rub a lot of people the wrong way.”
On
his nationally
syndicated radio talk show Tuesday, host Mark Levin strongly
disapproved of Brett Kavanaugh’s decision to legally characterize
the financial penalties of Obamacare’s individual mandate as a tax.
“You
have to assume that Kavanaugh would have voted with Roberts” on Obamacare,
Levin said. “He is not Scalia; he is not Thomas; he is not Alito; and in this
case, he wasn’t even Kennedy. So we’ll see. The conservatives on the judiciary
committee politely and legitimately need to pursue this. This is a big deal.”

However,
thanks to the wild overreaction of the ‘Left’ to Kavanaugh’s being named for and seated
on the Supreme Court,
there
has been an equal overreaction on the ‘Right’, which has completely wiped out
all their earlier misgivings about Mr Kavanaugh. Evangelical talk show host Bryan Fischer was
playing ‘All Hail the Power of Jesus’s Name’ on his radio program Focal Point on Monday to celebrate the
‘victory’ of the Kavanaugh confirmation and went on to write this bit of
over-heated rhetoric:
Brett Kavanaugh’s
confirmation to the Supreme Court despite vicious, cruel, and slanderous
opposition represents a high water mark in American politics. It represents the
victory of order over chaos, rationality over insanity, and the rule of law
over disorder and violence.
It represents the
victory of the Constitution over anarchy, the victory of a republican form of
government over democracy - which is just another name for mob rule - and the
victory of Jesus Christ over Satan in the unseen world.
The spiritual warfare
directed against Judge Kavanaugh was as intense as any we have witnessed in the
last several decades. It was as if all the demons of hell had been summoned and
ordered to attack this good man in a concerted effort to destroy him. Thanks, I
believe, to the committed saints who released the power of God against the
powers of darkness through focused and persistent prayer, victory was seized
out of the jaws of defeat. Truth won in the end.
. . .
He
is not alone in his thrills of elation.
Those
on the Right are correct in saying that the Left is acting completely unhinged
these days in the States, but they are blind to their own faults, such as
seeing apocalyptic significance written into every political battle that takes
place in what they consider the God-chosen land of ‘America’.
But
perhaps in the midst of all their euphoria of the moment, they do see a shadow
on the horizon. Mr Fischer adds at the
end of his column,
The big picture here
is that conservatism is now in the clear and undisputed ascendancy in American
politics. The more conservative of the two parties now controls all three
branches of government - Congress - the legislative branch, the presidency -
the executive branch, and the Supreme Court - the judicial branch.
The bad news for
Republicans is this: they are now absolutely, totally, completely, utterly, and
entirely without any excuses not to keep their promises.
And
another conservative/libertarian writer has added,
After everything that
happened, the ironic thing is that Kavanaugh getting on to the Supreme Court is
a loss for conservatives, but nobody on the right wants to admit this. We
got fooled by Justice Kennedy, we got fooled by Sandra Day O’Connor, we got
fooled by David Souter, and now we have just been fooled again.
Kavanaugh clerked for
Justice Kennedy, and he is cut from the exact same cloth as his mentor.
Kennedy was one of the key votes to uphold Roe v. Wade in the Casey decision,
and he actually wrote the opinion for the case that legalized gay marriage in
America. It is rumored that Kennedy would not retire until he was assured
that Kavanaugh would be nominated in his place, because he knew that Kavanaugh
would be the exact same type of Supreme Court justice that he had been.
So conservatives
should not be celebrating this “victory” at all.

If
Justice Kavanaugh sells them out on overturning Roe or some other key issue, we may very well witness those on the
Right having as vicious a fit as the one being thrown today by the Left.
