So is "Not our SCOTUS" the next rallying cry? I get that this was a tough decision and I can see both sides of it, but the protesters and "resist" crowd worry me in terms of the lengths they will go on some of this stuff.
If they riot/protest again, the democrats will look like utter fools. Mob rule cannot win!
OMG. How can you be so politically naive? Kavanaugh is an old time GOP establishment hack going back decades. He is the epitome of establishment handpicked by the Bush machine. He is a tool of the rich and the influential plutocrats, wall street moguls, oil tycoons, CEO-class from his Georgetown high school to Yale Law to the Bush admin. He serves them, not us. You people never fail to amaze.
You people? I see I hit a nerve. Relax, have a glass of wine or a valium.
Government is changing, there is no longer a politician in the oval office, and that'll be the case until 2024. Enjoy the show.
Anybody wanna guess in a week or two that evidence is leaked that Kavanaugh actually did do some of these things.
Republicans will then have defend why they hired somebody not qualified, when everybody was screaming about it.
Yeah.. a lying Supreme Court justice... what a great day.
Well, buncha people have already come foward that said he did those things - guys that he drank with; etc.
And we KNOW he lied under oath . . so evidently that is NOT a barrier to being on the SCOTUS. Let's keep all that in mind.

I mean, look at these protests going on. Their audience really bought it hook, line, and sinker.
I don't know if you are aware - but sexual assault and rape are a real issue in this country.

Well, they could then share a jail cell with the RWNJ that just got arrested for threatening to kill Democrats or 'weak' republicans that voted against Kavanaugh.

Literally - he has been groomed for this by the conservative elite since college. He is a tool of the rich and plutocrats and he will vote accordingly. Hell, half the righties that think he's so wonder have NO idea of his policy positions. Trump nominated him = he's a good judge. He will rule in favor of big corporations every single time vs the common man.
Well, the republic is safe for another month. However, some day these lefties may take over. Then, I fear, the rule of law, the constitution, and the bill of rights might all be thrown out and replaced with mob rule, guilt by association, and kangaroo courts.
"Women should be believed without question"
"Sexual assault victims should be believed no matter what"
"Believe all women"
Alyssa Milano said the other day that she didn't care if some men were falsely accused.
This whole guilty until proven innocent ideal is crazy.
Did they not read or at least watch The Crucible? Or learn about the McCarthy hearings? Or the daycare/satanist/sex abuse scandals of the '90s? I think one day they will look back on this episode like we look back on those others. Or it will happen to someone close to them that they know is innocent and they'll realize what they're doing. One can only hope so.
I hope they keep this stuff up for the next 6 weeks, until the election, although I think they will double back to President Trump's taxes for the third time. That's what I'd like to see. Looks good around election time when voters ask themselves what have you done for me.
Get a grip. You would have loved Salem in 1692 and 1693.
