In a recent article, the ongoing tensions within American politics took center stage, highlighting the fierce battles conservatives face against the left. The piece draws parallels between historical events and current political struggles, particularly focusing on the nomination of Supreme Court justices and the challenges they encounter.
The article recalls the nomination of Judge Robert Bork by President Ronald Reagan in 1987. At the time, many conservatives believed Bork’s confirmation was a sure thing. However, the nomination turned into a brutal fight, showcasing the aggressive tactics of the left. Fast forward to today, and the same aggressive opposition is evident in the confirmation process of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. His nomination faced intense scrutiny and protests, yet Kavanaugh’s determination ultimately led to his confirmation.
The piece emphasizes that conservatives often find themselves unprepared for these political battles. It points out that only a few outlets, like the Wall Street Journal and the New York Sun, have actively supported candidates like Kavanaugh. The author urges conservatives to unite and rally behind their nominees, arguing that a strong, unified front could make a significant difference in future confirmations.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, the article serves as a reminder of the importance of solidarity among conservatives. The upcoming battles for judicial nominations are expected to be fierce, and the author calls for a more proactive approach from the conservative movement to protect their interests and ensure their nominees receive the support they need.
