Why have a state auditor if you're going to bring in a private firm to audit the Massachusetts State Police in a scandal?
And yet State Auditor Suzanne Bump seems perfectly content to be bumped in favor of Ernst & Young when it comes to examining the books of the State Police, notes Lowell Sun columnist Peter Lucas.
I did not support the nomination of Neil Gorsuch by President Donald Trump to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court in order to fill the vacancy caused by the death of former associate justice Antonin Scalia. What prevented me from supporting Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court was when Gorsuch himself said "A Fetus is Not a Person" and that he accepted Roe v. Wade as the law of the land at his confirmation hearing. Donald Trump and the GOP-controlled Senate made a mistake by nominating and confirming Judge Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Now that Trump has nominated Brett Kavanaugh to succeed former associate justice Anthony Kennedy, I believe the GOP will be like the fool that repeats its folly if the Senate confirms Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
The left-wing Democrats predictably opposed Kavanaugh's nomination. The Left is so opposed to anything Trump proposes, some of the Democratic senators could not even wait until the president's announcement before launching attacks on his nominee. I believe South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham was onto something when he said that Trump "could nominate George Washington and the Left would go crazy."
