Brett Kavanaugh

[Fortybox]

That's ambitious for the Democrat party. It seems like they don't have any strategy at all. There are more than enough issues for them to be hammering. Things like voting rights, corruption in trumps cabinet, booming national debt because of tax cuts and trump's fucked up tweeting. The sun is shining and they can't make hay. It's like they're afraid of success.

I actually think Kavanaugh is going to make it through and become a Justice. I just think the Dem strategy is to air every piece of dirty laundry they can find on him and then turn around and point at this whole mess to incite people to come out for them in the all important mid-terms.

Certainly yes.

Though one thing I'll point out here- so far what we've seen of Kavanaugh is potential perjury and rape. This isn't your typical "dirty laundry". These are (or should be) serious concerns.

Unfortunately the partisan nature of everything right now means that the GOP is more than happy to overlook "little" things like these if it lets them have a Supreme Court that's willing to gut civil rights laws, stomp on voting rights, and to keep dark money in politics.

Are the Democrats actually going to stop a supreme court nominee. Maybe, actually?

No, but the Republicans might

A delay in the vote = more time for documents to come out. It isn't looking good.

I don't see that it will matter much. Can they delay it for two years and hope to get a Dem elected to replace trump? On a side note, I'd love to know what kind of conversations went on with Kennedy's retirement. There's only rumor of impropriety and I don't believe it will go any further than rumor. There was also a biopic about RBG recently. I'm surprised she survived it. LOL It seems like people die just before their movie comes out but all jokes aside we have to be prepared that she's not got much longer on the bench.

. . . she's not got much longer on the bench.

We can only hope this is true.

She'll step down after 2020 when a Dem is POTUS. Obama can take her spot.

Democrats have no power to do anything of the sort.

Elections have consequences + Dirty Harry Reid changing the Senate rules = Dear Democrats: Sit down and stfu.

Perfect example of Robespierre's Law

The independent who holds both sides accountable ladies and gentleman, now speaking exactly like a far left lunatic.

I was only mostly joking when I thought you were now living on time4fun's couch, but now I'm starting to wonder.
