Democrats have lost all sense of decency

John Kass:
Watching the slow, public evisceration of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh by Senate Democrats —on the strength of one unsubstantiated charge of alleged sexual aggression 36 years ago when Kavanaugh was in high school — a question comes to mind:

Have you no sense of decency, Sen. Feinstein?

Decency was once an important feature of the Democratic Party’s story. Long before Bork became a verb, long before Clarence Thomas was dragged through the mud because a conservative black man proved a profound threat to Democrats, the party held fast to the notion of decency.

A lack of decency was something to be feared, something to be avoided for the health of the country.

You’d hear about it in tales told by history teachers to frighten children, about Republican Sen. Joe McCarthy and his wild, unsubstantiated charges without evidence, of communists hiding under America’s beds.

Such charges ruined reputations and careers, and took advantage of public opinion that had been whipped up during those Red Scare days.

Many have forgotten those days ever existed. But I remember liberal and conservative professors (there were still conservative professors then), talking about McCarthy and what a danger his demagogic recklessness posed to the republic.

And so, I ask again, Sen. Feinstein: Have you no decency?
...
For years, Democrats — a party moving further and further to the left — have found it difficult to change the direction of the country through legislation. The Supreme Court became their legislative refuge. Losing control has become too much to bear.

So, Sen. Feinstein had a letter, written by Ford, alleging this horrible act by Kavanaugh. Yet rather than bring it up to him in private, or in public during his recent Senate confirmation hearings, or share it with her colleagues, she artfully held back until dropping it just as the Republican majority was about to put him on the court.

Again, I’m not judging Ford here. No one should judge her heart. But Feinstein and her pals are using Ford to play a dangerous game.

Because in their zeal to delegitimize Kavanaugh and delay confirmation until after the 2018 midterm elections, the Senate Democrats seem all too willing to delegitimize the Supreme Court itself.
...
And that they will.  It is what they do when they lose control.  Look at what they have been trying to do to the President with bogus charges of Russian collusion.  They have become a disgusting lot led by miscreants like Feinstein and Schumer.
