Gloom and Doom

By Tammy Derouin

Envy and jealousy can be very destructive and can cause inappropriate behavior. Prosperity eludes the Democratic Party because their answer for everything is more government control and more taxes. This kind of thinking enslaves a society. If packaged and sold correctly, it has a way of keeping Democrats in office.

Hillary Clinton's non-stop whining tour continues as she blames everyone but herself for her failure to reach the White House. Her rhetoric and that of her party has taken another departure from reality. We truly dodged a massive political fiasco. Her administration would have been a continuation of failed progressive and anti-freedom policies. Can you imagine the judges she would have nominated?

Hillary Clinton and her party are showing signs of desperation. Their fear-mongering abilities and deceptive ways are nothing short of expected behavior. Nothing they pull out of their chest of gloom and doom surprises me. The Democrats had their heels already dug in as their protesters showed up with fill-in-the-blank signs, ready to oppose anyone the President nominated to the Supreme Court. I think they would have freaked out even if he would have appointed a far-Left activist. There may have been a slight moment of stunned silence as the masses waited for instructions. Once the programmers fixed the collective thinking link and got them back online, the hate and bashing would have continued. Thankfully, the President understands the role of the judiciary, which is not activism but interpretation of the law.

The fear-mongering continues as Hillary expresses concern that the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh could set the United States back to the 1850's. Well now, isn't that interesting? The history of the Democratic Party is not one which embraces freedom or tolerance. That would, however, require the truth to be known and history to be taught. The history of the Democratic Party is readily available if you are interested in the truth. The media would need to revert back to investigative reporting and delivering the news and not be a propaganda machine for the Left. If you feel insulted after watching the mainstream media, you're definitely on to their game.

Judge Kavanaugh's understanding of the responsibilities of a judge was refreshing to hear. What he stated is what I learned as a student; the basics of Separation of Powers in our system of government. It is not the role of a judge to change the law or re-word presented evidence to make the argument work for a particular side. Doing so is wrong, very dangerous and shouldn't be tolerated. It creates activism within the judicial system, exactly where it doesn't belong. It's the duty of a judge to interpret the law as written, regardless if he agrees or disagrees with the outcome. It is up to the President to enforce the law and Congress to make or change the laws.

It is very concerning when individuals call for actions which go against our founding documents of freedom and liberty. We have a system in place which follows a process, a rule of law not rule of man. Attacking President Trump for enforcing the law is ridiculous and shows ignorance of our system of government. He has an obligation and has taken an oath to protect and uphold the U.S. Constitution. If he didn't enforce the law and he ignored clear and present threats to our national security, then there would be an argument against him.

Judge Kavanaugh's acceptance speech should be encouraging to everyone because he supports rule of law. The process of confirmation needs to continue but we do not need a witch hunt. I wonder if the individuals, be they within the government or the average citizen which yell and scream the loudest, have even read the Constitution.

The U.S. Constitution is a document of liberty and needs to be protected from those who would destroy our freedom and security as a nation. After years of watching an administration weaponize government departments against political opponents and disregarding the law and the process to further their agenda, a return to law and order is much overdue.

President Trump has been extremely successful despite efforts to claim his presidency is invalid. The envy and jealousy for creating prosperity and preserving freedom is evident. The policies of the Left have failed and fear has driven them to take steps to try to preserve their political future. Dependency creates job security for Democrats. Independence creates prosperity and freedom for all.

“A judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law. A judge must interpret statues as written. And a judge must interpret the Constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent.”
