The Barletta answer

As I watched the circus that was the confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court nominee, it was never more apparent why Lou Barletta must be our next Senator. I make no judgement regarding the allegations Dr. Ford presented to the Judiciary Committee. She was earnest, but presented no detail or corroboration to justify destroying a man who is regarded as a brilliant jurist by his peers. His record and the accolades he has received from those who have worked with him should weigh heavily in his favor.

I do think that it was apparent from the start that the left would do anything in their power to derail any nominee that the president put forth. Sen. Casey said as much, refusing to consider any nominee and refusing to meet with Justice Kavanaugh. Now Democrats are even considering impeachment of the newest Supreme Court Justice.

The confirmation came down to a 50-48 vote. With some Republican Senators often failing to support the president and his agenda, it is imperative we grow our majority to ensure the gains made continue. The return of the Democrats to power will be a never ending battle for impeachment (both of the President and his Court pick), a revisiting of Obamacare and a roll-back of the gains made with tax cuts enacted earlier this year. Sen. Casey has never been more in line with Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders than now. Lou Barletta is the answer to that.
