Hey, Brett Kavanaugh, this Bud’s for you.

Dilly dilly!

What made Milwaukee almost made a loser out of him, but now he’s confirmed by the Senate as the ninth justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

A few days after the bombshell report in The New York Times by a Democrat hack that he once threw an ice cube in a “bar fight,” Judge Kava­naugh now becomes JustICE Kavanaugh.

The Salem witch trial of the 21st century is behind us. Let’s hope it’s the last one, but I’m not optimistic.

All’s well that ends well, but this was a close-run thing, as the Duke of Wellington said of the Battle of Waterloo.

The best news of all is that the lawless, unruly mob that the Democrat party has so palpably become was routed. Even better, the shrill shrieking shrews’ paymasters seem to have squandered whatever wide advantage they had heading into the midterm elections 30 days from now.

Talk about overplaying your hand.

As the vote went down in the Senate, you couldn’t see George Soros’ storm troopers up in the gallery, but you could hear their temper tantrums. The snowflakes were melting. But resistance, in the end, was futile.

Nevertheless, they persisted — in making pluperfect asses of themselves.

The mask has really fallen off the modern Democrat party these last few years. They plainly no longer have any use for due process, presumption of innocence and the Bill of Rights, among much else.

Hillary Clinton campaigned in 2016 openly demanding what amounted to repeal of the First and Second Amendments. With the Democrats’ subsequent attempts to overturn the results of the election with their Russian hoax, they gleefully gutted the Fourth Amendment — you know, the one that’s supposed to guarantee that cops, even the crooked FBI, need probable cause to go after a citizen.

The Fourth Amendment is also the one that used to protect Americans against unreasonable searches and seizures. Even if you were a Republican.

And now, in the last few weeks, the Democrats have taken direct aim at the Sixth Amendment — which gives the accused the right to confront his accuser. Unless your accuser claims to be a “survivor.”

How dirty are these national Democrats?

Just read down the list of (some) of the votes in the Senate against Kavanaugh yesterday:

Blumenthal, Booker, Durbin, Feinstein, Gillibrand, Hassan, Harris, Hirono, King, Klobuchar, Leahy, Markey, Menendez, Merkley, Sanders, Schumer, Warren ,Whitehouse ...

The way it usually works in politics, the fight isn’t over until the Democrats win. But this time they lost.

The Senate Republicans finally saw the light. All those years of Orrin Hatch talking about his “best friend” Ted Kennedy — that’s all in the rearview mirror now. Chuck Grassley doesn’t call the unspeakable twit who is the Senate minority leader “the gentleman from New York.”

He calls him “Schumer,” and he spits out the word, like a curse. “Schumer.”

In the end, even Jeff Flake did the right thing. He won’t be back on “60 Minutes,” that’s for sure. Les Moonves and Jeff Fager and Charlie Rose and the rest of CBS’ #metoo movement are shocked, shocked! So much for their strange new respect for Flake from Snowflake, Ariz.

The Democrats have a lot to answer for in American history: the Civil War, the Vietnam War, the War on Poverty, Jim Crow and the Ku Klux Klan, among so many other catastrophes.

The Democrats’ attempted railroading of Judge Kavanaugh obviously doesn’t rise to those levels of political infamy, but it’s got to be near the top of the second tier of Democrat disgraces. This aborted frame-up was even more unhinged than the disgraceful treatment of first Robert Bork and then, a few years later, Clarence Thomas.

To paraphrase some more of the old-time beer slogans, if you’ve got the time, the Democrats have got the smear.

Schaefer used to be the one beer to have when you’re having more than one. Now President Trump can say, with yesterday’s second court confirmation, Kavanaugh is the one justice to have, when you’re having more than one.

Ballantine Ale had — has — the three-ring sign. The Democrats have the three-ring circus.

Before the 50-48 vote yesterday, Sen. Mitch McConnell said that Republicans had been “literally under assault by a mob. But the good news is the mob didn’t win.”

“In retrospect,” McCon­nell said, “they played right into our hands. As unpleasant as it’s been, it was worth it. Maybe I ought to say thank you.”

Finally, Justice. Or should I say, JustICE. Justice Kavanaugh.
