I’m thinking that the good senator from West Virginia just might be suffering from a pretty wicked case of political whiplash after having completed a pretty significant 180-degree turnabout over the course of about 48 hours regarding whether or not whomever it is that ‘Creepy Joe’ nominates to the Supreme Court might be worthy of being rubberstamped. Because while on Wednesday Manchin declared that there should be no rummer stamp for any nominee put forward by ‘Creepy Joe,’ it was the very next day that he seemed to be saying something very much different. While begs the question, was he simply lying on Wednesday, or did someone perhaps get to him?
Either way, Manchin again makes it very clear that
he most certainly is not the ‘moderate’ that so many in our ‘fake news’ media like
to paint him as being. He’s simply confirmed what many of us have always known,
that he is nothing more than your average garden variety liar. And he’s again
made it clear just whose side it is that he’s on, and it ain’t the side of the
good folks of West Virginia who overwhelmingly supported President Trump. He’s
clearly on the side of Chuckie Schumer and the Democrat Party. Because, as I
said, it was on Thursday that he sounded very much like a guy about to take
part in the act of being a ‘rubberstamp.'
It was during an interview with West Virginia
MetroNews’ “Talkline with Hoppy Kercheval” on Thursday, that Manchin said he
wouldn’t be bothered if *president ‘Creepy Joe’s nominee to replace Supreme
Court Justice Stephen Breyer was more liberal, or much more liberal than he is
as long as they are “sound in their thought process, has been sound in their
disbursement of justice and the rule of law,” and have the right disposition to
be on the Supreme Court. But it’s to my way of thinking that one cannot be a
liberal and at the same time be “sound in their thought process”. Democrats are,
by definition, psychologically impaired.
Liberals, regardless of the color of their skin, or
their gender, are definitely NOT sound in their thought process, sound in their
disbursement of justice and the rule of law. Look no further than Sonya
Sotomayor when she recently made the blatantly idiotic and patently untrue
claim that, “There are 100,000 children in the hospital right now with COVID
and most on respirators!” What a complete MORON!! And where in the HELL did she
come up with that number? There’s actually roughly 4,000 children in the hospital
with COVID (not 100,000) and the number on respirators is UNKNOWN because that
statistic is one that no one bothers to keep.
Anyway, it was Manchin who said, “Well, first of
all, it’s not going to change the makeup of the court. The court right now is
pretty much a 6-3 court. So, no matter what the philosophical beliefs of this
person may be, that’s not going to change the decisions or the makeup of it. What
you want is someone, forget the philosophical beliefs they may have, it’s
basically how they have dispersed justice, their record, have they been
outspoken, have they been fair, things of that sort, and do they have the
disposition? The main thing about a Supreme Court justice being the highest
court in the land, are they able to get along with the other eight justices?"
And he said, “Sit down, even though you might
disagree, do you do it in a professional, civil way, coming to a conclusion?
This is what we look for in all of our justices, but especially the Supreme
Court, do they have the disposition to be able to work with their fellow
justices to make good judgment and be able to disperse and use the rule of law
as your guide. And that’s what I’m looking for.” And it was host Hoppy
Kercheval that then asked, “So, Senator, it would not bother you, it would not
be a — it would not bother you if the nominee was more liberal or far more
liberal than you?” Manchin responded, “Well, it’s not too hard to get more
liberal than me."
Before then going on to say, “So, it would not
bother me having a person who was sound in their thought process, has been
sound in their disbursement of justice and the rule of law, just because of
their personal beliefs.” Manchin’s constituents are 90 percent white! I wonder,
does it bother him that no white person is being considered and that these stone-cold
racists in the White House are using skin color and genitalia as the sole
criteria for who gets interviewed?? Manchin will vote for whomever ‘Creepy Joe’
nominee who will likely be confirmed in record time. There’s really nothing much
that the Republicans can, or will, do to bog down the process.
As I mentioned, it certainly didn’t take very long
for Manchin to turn back into your typical liberal. I can’t help but wonder if
the folks back home are paying attention. Likely not, as he seems to do just
enough to keep those same folks convinced that he’s worthy of getting
re-elected. That’s what career politicians always do. And there are usually
just enough RINOs voting with the Democrats to allow certain players in the
Democrat Party to, at least, appear tough on the important issues. RINOs are
far more disgusting than the Democrats because they are backstabbing traitors
to their party. Manchin is one happy to take advantage of the cover provided by
the RINOs.
Anyone to the left of him has never really bothered Manchin.
And while he pretends to be a ‘moderate,’ playing up to his base back in West
Virginia, he always ends up voting exactly how Chuckie Schumer tells him to,
with very few exceptions. He’s another of those who expose the myth that there
remains in American politics today that ever elusive creature, the ‘moderate’
Democrat. How many times must it be said that this guy is not now, nor has he
ever been, a ‘moderate.’ Manchin is a Democrat and votes like a Democrat 99
percent of the time because that’s what Democrats do. So can we finally stop
with the I wish he’d switch to being a Republican crap?
It’s when selecting any individual
to sit on the bench that the only thing that should matter is that person’s ability
to interpret the Constitution as it is written, not how they might wish that it
had been written. Our justices regardless of the court they are selected to sit
upon are not supposed to be biased. It’s all about the Constitution. If the
person nominated has a clear bias in their past decisions, then they are not fit
to sit on the bench and shouldn’t even be considered, let alone confirmed. But such
is not the criteria looked for by the Democrats. They search out those individuals
who possess a willingness to read things into the Constitution that simply are
not there.
