What is happening with the Judiciary Committee is really I would call it a railroad job, and it\u2019s totally unfair. I\u2019m counting on the members of the press to point out that this is a fast track. They are totally intent on getting Judge Kavanaugh onto the Supreme Court come hell or high water, come hell or high water, and you have to ask yourself, &#8220;Why?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, we don\u2019t. The answer to &#8220;Why?&#8221; is eminently simple. He was nominated. This has gone on weeks longer than the average confirmation process. He\u2019s eminently qualified. The story is why you people are trying to derail him. Anyway, here\u2019s Sean in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Glad you waited, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: We know Trump very aggressively goes after people that are attacking him, and he succeeds. You\u2019ve identified all the occasions. This is really an attack on his selection. I think he needs to get out in front, make a statement that says Kavanaugh is preeminently the most qualified candidate for this position, but we\u2019ve got people on deck like Amy Coney Barrett and others and get them thinking of the future. They\u2019re doing this for the future. Well, that\u2019s his next pick, given the chance. I think he need to go get out in front of this abortion aspect of this with some subtle tweets or jabs, because I think it would refocus people\u2019s attention on what they\u2019re really trying to do.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, maybe. But they would relish the chance to destroy her. If they take out Kavanaugh, they\u2019re gonna be so energized, they\u2019re gonna beg for him to send up Amy Coney Barrett. They can\u2019t wait to destroy her. Don\u2019t forget, she was the nominee that they were going back and forth, Kavanaugh or Barrett, who should go first. And they decided to go Kavanaugh first because Barrett&#8230; See, the original thinking was the Democrats couldn\u2019t go after a woman in the #MeToo movement.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-278317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-070318-Amy-Coney-Barrett.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-070318-Amy-Coney-Barrett.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/APP-070318-Amy-Coney-Barrett-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But then they quickly properly figured out, went back and looked at Dianne Feinstein interviewing her confirmation hearings for her current judgeship and Feinstein said (summarized), &#8220;Boy, the dogma, the Catholic dogma is very loud in you. The Catholic dogma sings very loudly within you.&#8221; What that meant, boy, you\u2019re really a devout Catholic. I mean, that governs who you are. You really are anti-choice. That\u2019s not what she said. That\u2019s what she meant.<\/p>\n<p>And so they decided to wait for Amy Coney Barrett for the next vacancy, thinking it\u2019s gonna be Ginsburg just by simple age. Nobody knows, of course. But if they take out Kavanaugh, they\u2019re gonna welcome Trump sending somebody else they can take out, because if they succeed, they\u2019re gonna be so armed and ready that they can destroy anybody. So, that kind of thing is one of those be careful for what you wish for. Trump I think is handling this just the right way. He\u2019s making it look like he can\u2019t wait for her to show up.<\/p>\n<p>He thinks it\u2019d would be wonderful for her to testify. He really wants to hear what she has to say. I mean, he\u2019s out there saying why would I doubt the accuser? Why are you so surprised? I want to hear what she has to say. He\u2019s gone on to say that if what she says, and if she is credible, then they might have to look at the nomination of Kavanaugh. This is why CNN ran the story that Trump\u2019s employees, his aides are shocked and stunned. They can\u2019t believe that Trump\u2019s not out there destroying her on Twitter and stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: If they take out Kavanaugh, they&#039;re gonna be so energized, they&#039;re gonna beg for him to send up Amy Coney Barrett.
