Constitution Day 17 September 2018 and the Kavanaugh Confirmation Hearings

September 17th 1787 was the day the Constitution of the United States was signed by delegates of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia that was the seat of the government until Washington, DC was established. Copies were made and sent to state state legislatures for ratification.
It was a time when there were Federalists and Anti-Federalists, the Federalists being for the Constitution. The Federalist Papers were written as letters and sent to newspaper publishers and later were published into a book. The authors were James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay.
Anti-Federalists included founders like George Mason, Patrick Henry, and Elbridge Gerry.
The law establishing this day as a national celebration occurred in 2004 after the passage of an amendment to Omnibus Spending Bill of 2004 authored by Senator Robert Byrd. It is also known as Citizenship Day. It is a legal holiday for public schools (those funded by federal government) declared by the Department of Education in 2005.
Iowa schools were the first to recognize Constitution Day in 1911. The Sons of the American Revolution formed a committee for it to be recognized nationally.

This month the Judge Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings have taken place and turned out to be a partisan political debacle that includes paid protesters that disrupted the hearing constantly and outrageous statements and accusations against Kavanaugh. Thus far into Day 4, despite desperate tactics, democrat-socialists have not made much progress in their character assassination of Judge Kavanaugh.
The actions and conduct of the Democrats in this hearing is an example of why they should not be in power any longer and replaced by those who take their oath of office seriously and focus energy upon reforming our government back to what it was created to be by the Founders.
Hopefully present Democrat supporters will see what the party truly represents and join the "walk-aways".
