Brett Kavanaugh protesters anti-American, tilting toward mental illness

It's one thing to exercise a First Amendment right to assemble and petition the government for redress -- to "peaceably" gather together for a protest, as the exact language of this particular Bill of Right specifies. It's another thing entirely to chase senators through the halls of Congress.

Robot sex doll brothel slimes toward Texas

A brothel of robotic sex dolls set to open shop in Texas this month hit a snag after local authorities, fueled by a field of concerned petitioners, found a building inspection gig and put a temporary stop to KinkySDollS' plans. There's a blessing in disguise. Sometimes regulation really does work for good, yes?

Republicans in fine form — finally

Republicans, it must be said, are actually showing some bold stripes on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. And it's about time, wouldn't you say?

Sons of America, beware

As President Donald Trump noted in recent comments about the runaway train called Supreme Court Nomination, it's "a very scary time for young men in America." Yes, it is. This is no joke.

U.N. court, laughably, orders U.S. to dump sanctions

You had me at the headline."U.S. ordered to lift some Iran sanctions by International Court of Justice," blared NBC News, above its Associated Press story. Ordered is a pretty funny word, given U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton's recent takedown of another global judicial body, just last month.

Kamala Harris, in the Judiciary cloak room, with letter accusing Brett Kavanaugh of rape

Subtitle this: Thanks a lot, Sen. Jeff Flake, for handing the Democrats an extra week. Now, in the midst of the FBI investigation that Flake demanded go forth against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh in exchange for his confirmation vote, Sen. Kamala Harris has tossed a letter out there for consideration that comes courtesy of a woman who says she was allegedly raped by the good judge and his friend after they drove her home from a party.

Democrats in glass house as they toss stones at Brett Kavanaugh

Judge Brett Kavanaugh has a clean background -- a point which is most troubling for the Democrats, who are trying to make a case from Christine Blasey Ford's dotted, foggy memories that his supposed sexual assaulting past ought to halt his Supreme Court nomination in its path. Their problem is: The allegations don't match.

Jeff Flake’s astonishing admission of no principles

Sen. Jeff Flake said in an interview on "60 Minutes" that if he were running for re-election, there'd be no way he would call for the FBI to investigate Judge Brett Kavanaugh. This is astonishing. What Flake is admitting, in essence, is that he is unprincipled.

Facebook hack exposes 50 million accounts — and a host of technology question marks

Facebook just found -- or more to truth, just acknowledged -- a glitch in its security system that allowed hackers to take control of up to 50 million accounts. There's a case-in-point of why a technological world is a vulnerable world.

Democrats are playing chess; Republicans, go fish

Brett Kavanaugh shouldn't have had to take such a hard and lonely stand. He shouldn't have been so far out on the Republican branch, absent his Republican support system. The fact that he was brings up a larger question, a problem within the Republican Party, and it's one that goes like this: What is the GOP so afraid of?

Hillary Clinton does television’s ‘Murphy Brown’ — badly

Hillary Clinton, once the stuff of Democratic Party presidential dreams, has now stumbled into a new gig -- the world of television sitcoms, it seems. She made a surprise appearance on "Murphy Brown." And badly, by the way.

Lindsey Graham, man of the hour

Sen. Lindsey Graham has stepped forward among the devious political forces trying to stymy and stop Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court, and spoken truths that need telling.

Christine Blasey Ford ‘terrified,’ as questions abound

Christine Blasey Ford has spoken -- and first impressions? Her voice is like a little girl's. Her professional credentials are extensive. And she's scared to death at the can of worms that's been opened. And her testimony still leaves question marks in Brett Kavanaugh supporters' minds.

Ted Cruz restaurant confrontation backfires

The uncalled-for and inappropriate verbal attack on Sen. Ted Cruz and his wife at a D.C. restaurant has backfired, it seems, and now the owners of the establishment say they're getting death threats. This is not a 'hey-ho, that's what the left gets' moment. Nobody deserves death threats. But it is a wake-up call to the Democrats.

Republicans cannot let Democrats win on Brett Kavanaugh

Republicans simply cannot cede this Supreme Court battleground over Judge Brett Kavanaugh to Democrats. If they do, it's not just President Donald Trump who will be affected -- who will see his rightful White House authority to select judicial picks erode in the face of angry politicking. It's the country's constitutional system that will suffer.
