Col. Pat Lang Demonstrates That Kavanaugh Circus Is Part of ‘Silent Coup’ against Presidency

Sept. 27, 2018 (EIRNS)—Retired Col. Pat Lang spoke out against the Brett Kavanaugh hearing circus in an editorial this week, writing in his “Sic Semper Tyrannis” blog on Sept. 24:

“This is a coup that seeks to deny the Republican Party the ability to govern by abandoning the customs and norms of civility that lie at the center of the U.S. form of government, while reverting to the law of the jungle ‘red in tooth and claw.’ ”

Democrats are out to delay the Kavanaugh confirmation “in the hope that they will recover one or both houses of Congress,” then

“pass bills of impeachment against Trump and probably Kavanaugh as well. If they also control the Senate, then one or both might result in convictions and removals,”

he wrote. “This would not be politics. It would be war conducted as politics,” Lang warned. The Democrats “should not expect that such actions would be meekly accepted.”
