Howie Carr: DEMOCRAT SLIME TIME FOR TRUMP’S SUPREME COURT PICK AMY CONEY BARRETT’S CATHOLICISM....

Let the sliming begin.

Now that Amy Coney Barrett has been nominated for the Supreme Court vacancy, the Democrats’ attacks will be nonstop. (follow THREAD):

(1) The scurrilous, unhinged campaign will be 100% about attacking her Roman Catholic faith.

There’s something about Catholic nominees for the highest court that pushes Democrats over the edge — Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and now Barrett.

(2) So what if Article VI, Clause 3 of the Constitution says:

“No religious test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any office of public Trust.”

Democrats don’t care about the Constitution-“you know, the thing,”as Joe Biden calls it. Or, as Barack Obama described it

(3).. “the paper.”

Now the Democrats will all be reciting the same talking points, ganging up on the former Notre Dame law professor — 10-on-one is Democrat fun.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is, consider who’ll be in charge of trying to destroy her.

(4) The hearings will be conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The ranking Democrat is Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who famously told Barrett two years ago that “the Dogma lives loudly within you.”

Feinstein is 87 years old.

(5) Some Democrats are worried the octogenarian might again start channeling her late esteemed colleague, Sen. Robert Byrd, and go full KKK Exalted Cyclops on the judge.

The alternative?

Let the second-ranking Democrat, Sen. Patrick “Leaky” Leahy of Vermont, take over.

(6) He’s 80 years old but increasingly slurs his words, even in the mornings.

How about Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois? A veritable spring chicken — he turns 76 next month.
He’s on record comparing the U.S. military to Nazis, Soviet gulags and Pol Pot’s genocidal Cambodian regime.

(7) In the modern Democrat party, this makes Durbin a moderate.

*** Even now, the Democrat smear-meisters — think Fusion GPS — are poring over the 1990 yearbook of St. Mary’s Dominican High School in New Orleans, the all-girls school Barrett graduated from.

(8) Remember how the Deep Staters employed Brett Kavanaugh’s high-school yearbook, and how Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, whose intellect lights up the world like a three-watt bulb, went totally insane while questioning the Catholic nominee.

(9) Whitehouse was particularly obsessed with one word on Kavanaugh’s page: “boofing.”

“Have you, I don’t know if it’s boffed or boofed, how do you pronounce it?”

“It refers to flatulence,” Kavanaugh replied. “We were 16.”

(10) Whitehouse continued to burrow in on this burning issue until Kavanaugh finally answered:

“We want to talk about flatulence at age 16 on a yearbook page? I’m game.”

During that 2018 debacle, Whitehouse was also responsible for hyping the preposterous accusation...

(11)... by a self-described “Hippie” that Kavanaugh and a high-school friend of his had raped a woman on a boat in Newport in 1986.

Kavanaugh had never even been to Newport — but hey, Whitehouse was only trying to generate hundreds of hysterical social-media headlines...

(12)... saying, “Kavanaugh denies new sexual-assault charges.”

Mission accomplished!

Another Democrat on the Judiciary Committee: Sen. Kamala Harris of California, the candidate for vice president. A brilliant legal scholar — flunked the bar exam her first time out, like,...

(13)... among others, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and Deval Patrick.

Just this week, Kamala was asked to name her favorite living rapper. She came up with Tupac Shakur. He died in a Las Vegas drive-by shooting in 1996. Oh yeah, Kamala’s ready for prime time all right.

(14) How about Sen. Corey Booker of New Jersey? He asked another of Trump’s judicial nominees: “Do you think gay relationships are immoral? … Do you believe they are a sin?”

Maybe Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, age 74, could handle the interrogation of...

(15)... the mother of seven.

His nickname is “Da Nang Dick,” after his decades of stolen valor, falsely claiming to be a Vietnam veteran.

Sometimes in these situations, given the paucity of brainpower among the elected statesmen, the solons will bring in a special “counsel”..

(16).. to handle the questioning of the witness.

One possibility for the minority: Michael Avenatti.

He’s the crooked lawyer who after Christine Blasey Ford’s absurd charges against Kavanaugh were debunked, produced the even less believable Julie Swetnick.

(17) Remember her? She claimed Kavanaugh was running a “rape gang.” Her story fell apart in about 10 minutes.

Since that magic moment, Avenatti has been revealed to be a world-class grifter, indicted by multiple federal grand juries across the continent.

(18) Avenatti was such a sleaze that he was briefly touted by CNN and MSNBC as a potential Democrat candidate for president.

Instead of the White House, though, Avenatti found himself in the Big House.

Bureau of Prisons inmate number: 86743-054.

(19) Due to the coronavirus panic, Avenatti was released to house arrest on April 24, so I guess he could handle the cross-examination of Barrett via Zoom.

(20) An even better candidate as the Democrats’ counsel: Joe Biden, a former chairman of the committee and a well-known proponent of women’s rights. Just ask Anita Hill and Tara Reid.

First question Committee Counsel Joe Biden could pose to Judge Barrett:

(21) “Are you a lying dog-faced pony soldier?”

Could Dementia Joe be any worse than any of the Democrats’ other alternatives?”
