RUSH: The latest on Kavanaugh nomination. The thing you need to understand about that, among all other things, the left is not opposed to Justice Kavanaugh. They are opposed to the Constitution. It\u2019s the Constitution that scares them. It is the Constitution that threatens them. That\u2019s the nature of their opposition.<\/p>\n

So Kavanaugh is somebody who believes in the enforcement of it and the construction of the Constitution as a means of judging statutes and law, then he\u2019s a threat. But it\u2019s not him per se; it\u2019s anybody who reveres the Constitution that they have a problem with or object to. We\u2019ll get to all the latest examples of the insanity and the liberal crackup on that aspect as the program unfolds.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: So we still have the Kavanaugh Stack<\/a> here today. The left continues to implode over the Supreme Court nomination, and there are a couple of plans that they have developed. I think it\u2019s dawning on them they cannot stop the confirmation, but they think they can delay it, and somehow they think delaying it through the midterms is going to help them. And some of them think they can stop it. Chuck You Schumer is out there saying, “I\u2019m gonna do everything I can to stop this.” Well, if they stop it, there\u2019s just gonna be another name that Trump will it forward.<\/p>\n But that isn\u2019t going to happen. But one of the tactics that they\u2019re going to use is there\u2019s this kid named Brian Fallon<\/a>. He was the PR director or the campaign manager for Hillary 2016, and he\u2019s got an idea. He said (summarized), “You know, this Kavanaugh guy was instrumental in writing the Starr report — and this Kavanaugh guy, there\u2019s obviously a lot of stuff he\u2019s written. This guy has written a lot of stuff this guy has said has part of the Ken Starr team.”<\/p>\n You know, they turned Ken Starr into a sex pervert from Mars, the Clintons did, during the Clinton impeachment period. So they\u2019re gonna start demanding all of his outtakes. The Starr report was the final report, but there are things that didn\u2019t make it. So this guy claims, “I\u2019m gonna demand — we should demand — everything that the Starr report collected and find out what Kavanaugh had to say there,” and then the other part of the plan… It\u2019s a two-pronged plan. The other part of the plan involves one of the judges on the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.<\/p>\n His name is Alex Kozinski, and he has been accused by people on his staff of harassing them, sexual harassment and abuse. This guy is one of Kavanaugh\u2019s friends. So they\u2019re going to suggest that the relationship between Brett Kavanaugh and Alex Kozinski be investigated and turned upside down to see if Kavanaugh knew that his buddy Kozinski was abusing women and didn\u2019t say anything about it. So these are the two areas that the Hillary campaign manager has suggested that they look into as part of a plan.<\/p>\n Hopefully, they think, they can, derail, but, if nothing else, delay what happens here. So they have to do this to placate their base. But I think some of them would do it whether their base was demanding it or not. The crackup continues because, again, folks, what really scares them is not Brett Kavanaugh. What scares them is the Constitution. That\u2019s what they\u2019re opposed to. The Constitution is the obstacle in their way, and they are deathly, literally scared of any judge who will use the Constitution in deciding cases. The left doesn\u2019t want to do that. They want judges to impose their political beliefs as judicial decisions in cases — and in that way, they get around the Constitution. We\u2019ve got some details and some interesting little funny bits that the left has engaged in when we get to that Stack<\/a>.<\/p>\n BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n RUSH: Remember on the day Anthony Kennedy announced his resignation from the Supreme Court? I was doing the program from Los Angeles, and 30 minutes after the resignation I made a prediction to you. I predicted that before the end of the day somebody somewhere on the left would claim Trump should not be permitted to select a justice to the Supreme Court because he\u2019s being investigated for collusion with Russia and maybe having stolen the presidential election in 2016. My prediction came true, and in about that time frame.<\/p>\n Before the end of the day, you could find any number of places where prominent leftists in both media and academe were making that observation. None of them, of course, credited me. I have yet to find myself credited for being the first to make the prediction. But the prediction continues. Grab audio sound bite No. 12. This is Maude Behar on The View yesterday<\/a>. Meghan McCain says to Behar (summarized), “You know, elections have consequences, and Republicans have three branches of power now.<\/p>\n “They have the House — they have Congress — we have the White House, and of course the Supreme Court is largely arguably a 5-4 conservative structure.” And she to Behar “it\u2019s why voting is so important. The idea that we\u2019re living in some totalitarian, fascist country where this was just appointed by a dictator?” Meghan McCain says, “It\u2019s just a lie. You people are just making all of this stuff up.” And this is what Maude Behar said.<\/p>\n MAUDE: Why would a president who\u2019s under investigation by the FBI for obstruction of justice and collusion be allowed to pick a Supreme Court justice who will be there… I\u2019ll be dead. There are many people in this room who will still be alive and need abortions and what have you, need health care? How dare he (thumps desk) be allowed to do this when he is under investigation?<\/p>\n DINGBATS: (applause)<\/p>\n
