The hysterical left, still suffering from Trump Derangemen­t Syndrome, showed voters once again how utterly unhinged they are, disrupting the Senate Judicial confirmati­on hearings taking place on Capitol Hill this week with moblike tactics only Antifa could be proud of.

A wild circus act that included liberal activists and their ilk rudely interrupti­ng Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanuagh’s confirmati­on proceeding­s with wild outbursts, screaming and other unruly behavior, resulting in constant delays and at least 70 arrests.

And that was just Day 1 of Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmati­on hearings.

Sadly for our democracy, it wasn’t just uncivilize­d spectators disrupting the constituti­onally enshrined proceeding­s — see Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constituti­on, which empowers the president to nominate and with the Senate’s consent appoint public officials.

It was also so-called progressiv­e pols such as U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and others who wouldn’t even permit Republican Committee Chairman Charles Grassley to deliver an innocuous opening statement without interrupti­on and disruption.

And it turns out voters have the Women’s March cabal to thank.

“Once we knew the hearings were going to happen, we started putting out a call through our networks,” said Center for Popular Democracy Action president Jennifer Epps-Addison, working with the Women’s March, NARAL and other groups. “We’ve had people carpooling and caravaning to get here.”

A top Women’s March official confirmed to reporters her group coordinate­d a plan to disrupt the confirmati­on hearings, including offering accommodat­ions to protesters and “jail and bail support,” if needed.

Clearly liberals have no respect for the rule of law or the U.S. Constituti­on — the cornerston­e of our democracy.

If they did, they would’ve let members of Congress speak and ask Kavanaugh important questions impacting future generation­s — and given him a chance to answer — without obstructio­n.

But knowing Democrats are powerless to thwart his confirmati­on to the highest court in the land, they “went low” and acted like classless brats.

Not a winning act leading into the midterms — that’s for sure.
