I wanted to respond to my friend Baptist Believer as part 1 of this topic was closed as I was not on line when his post came about.
BB you said: "So if i were to make a claim about YOU that you will hate every Democrat for the rest of your life, not willing to even give them the benefit of the doubt about whatever they say, would you be offended"?
Not in the least. As long as they continue their march to the left and keep to their wholesale disregard of the U.S. Constitution, I will continue to despise everything they stand for. I do not hate them as fellow human beings, I hate their political ideas. These people cannot be given the benefit of the doubt because they have proven over and over again that they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
On Sept 6, 2017 during her confirmation hearing Sen. Feinstein told Notre Dame Law School Professor Amy Coney Barrett that: "When you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you, and that's of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for, for years in this country."
That my friend is a big attack on a person's religious faith tradition and has no place coming from the mouth of a United States Senator who is sitting in judgement of a judicial nominee. That is called a "religious test" for office and it is a serious violation of the U.S. Constitution to be sure and it shows exactly where it starts and who it comes from.
So I will repeat, the Democrats already have the script written and ready for use if Ms. Barrett should ever be a SCOTUS nominee, and it will be wielded by Sen. Feinstein and her trusty lieutenants.
Now, fast forward to Judge Kavenaugh's nomination and who do we see behind the biggest political dirty trick ever let loose during a nomination process since Clarence Thomas? That's right, none other than our old friend, Ms. Feinstein who had received a bombshell of an allegation in July but held said information from her Republican colleagues, thereby violating the agreement that serious accusations were to be dealt with behind closed doors in a professional and bi-partisan manner. That did not happen and now look where we are.
So no, Democrats cannot be trusted nor given the benefit of the doubt, at any time, on any issue.
P.S. As for my screen name "Adonia", that was my grandfathers given name, but everyone knew him as Peter or "Pete". I believe one of King David's sons also had that moniker.
