Why Does America Love Showing It’s Ass To The World?

I’m
beginning to wonder, has America watched too much Jerry Springer; has
it gotten that we can’t do anything without showing our ass to the
world? I could go into great detail as to why I say that, but for
brevities sake I will focus my attention upon recent events.
I have watched, rotating between perverted amusement
and deep despair, the uproar over the Kavanaugh nomination for the
Supreme Court. I have seen the victory dance of those on the political
right after he was confirmed, and the resulting meltdown of those on the
left upon hearing that their efforts to block his nomination had
failed. Through it all I have sat back and asked myself WTF has happened
to the people of this country?
Those on the political right have steadfastly
supported Kavanaugh throughout this entire ordeal. Why? Why simply
because he was nominated by their guy…Donald Trump; and if the left gets
their feathers in such an uproar over him, he must be a good choice for
the SCOTUS.
Is that the best that they can do to justify their
support for his serving a life position on a panel of judges that have
taken it upon themselves to interpret the Constitution this way or that?
Almost 200 years ago Thomas Jefferson warned of the danger of giving
that much power to the federal judiciary,
“If [as the Federalists say] “the judiciary is the last resort in relation to the other departments of the government,” … , then indeed is our Constitution a complete felo de so. … The Constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they may please.”
