On Wednesday night, Sen. Kamala Harris told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes it was wrong to call women being carried out of the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings struggling and screaming “hysterical,” and yet we’re to believe that his confirmation is a matter of life and death for women.
The New York Times’ Paul Krugman isn’t satisfied to settle for that worn old talking point though, so on Thursday, he published his own hot take: confirming Kavanaugh will kill the Constitution.
can always count on Krugman for a reasonable, non-hysterical take pic.twitter.com/Q8U0hSiMz5

We’re waiting to read the anonymous op-ed from a headline writer for The New York Times who’s ashamed of the ridiculous takes the paper prints but just soldiers on for the cause.
??? this is amazing.

OK, Krugman, what’s your angle?
After all, if Kavanaugh is confirmed, we will be trying to navigate a turbulent era in American politics with a Supreme Court in which two seats were effectively stolen. First Republicans refused even to give President Barack Obama’s nominee so much as a hearing; then they will have filled two positions with nominees chosen by a president who lost the popular vote and eked out an Electoral College win only with aid from a hostile foreign power.
How many times do we have to remind liberals that all the whining in the world over the popular vote doesn’t change the fact that Hillary Clinton lost? And not because of Russia — because she was a horrible candidate.
How ironic that having the Senate confirm a SCOTUS nominee nominated by the president, as laid out in the Constitution, will kill the Constitution.
No Paul. He may be the one to actually save it.

A hardcore constitutionalist…will kill the Constitution.
I…do not think that's how that works.

"The Constitution will be killed off if the constitutional process for installing a Supreme Court justice is followed." Ah, got it.

Dems always accuse others of what they are doing or attempting to do themselves.

Is this the liberal case for confirming Kavanaugh?

You'd think the Left would support him then since the Left seems to hate the Constitution

Didn't this clown say that Trump was going to kill the economy?

He sure did.
The good news is that the same guy said on election night that markets would never recover, so I'm currently willing to bet zero dollars on this one coming to fruition: pic.twitter.com/U4RN4THCaY

This is going to be tough. After all these funerals we’ve had because of Net Neutrality and Tax Cuts I’m not sure I can attend the funeral for the Constitution. Maybe CNN can give the Eulogy and turn it into a talking point for 2020?

Krugman never tires of being wrong and looking like an idiot.
