Supreme Court Justice Confirmation Hearings

One component of human nature that is almost to troubling to consider is our ability to be subjective, self-referential, manipulative and agenda-driven while all the time thinking we are just following procedure or just trying to be fair or "just" something else.

This all about abortion and nothing but abortion. If the current nominee does not want to bow the knee to the goddess Artemis and all her sad little worshippers, and slam the gavel for "a woman's right to choose," then they don't want him to get through the process. End of subject. It has nothing to do with his paper trail, or record of cases, or age or experience or even gender, or opinion of the constitution. It's just about the litmus test: when the rubber meets the road, will you side with "us."

This is not an anti-abortion post; or at least, I don't intend it to be. It's a protest about deception. And a decievers greatest deceptions are always of him or her self. Honest public dialogue is simply not a possibility. It's always about "getting my way," like spoiled little children who might not get the sucker they just saw, and to which they have attached their souls with religious zeal.
