Actually, Murkowski announced at the end of her speech that she intends to vote "Present".

One of the CNN "reporters" said that she asked Nancy Pelosi if she would be in charge of the House to presumably begin impeachment proceedings against Kavanaugh and Nancy's reply was "I'm not going there, I'm not going there on impeaching the President and I'm definitely not going there on impeaching Brett Kavanaugh" because she knows what a rallying tool that is for Republicans.

Maxi waters is always dependable for that unless the Democrats shut her up.

And consider the most recent supporter of Kavanaugh to make his fervent belief known---
Who do you think would be top of his hit list???

Because they dare to advocate perpectives not regarded by the Democrat left as "Politically correct"?

By 2024 Dems will very possibly control the government and younger people will be taking power. Look out!
When I was straight out high school I though the same like many of those young people, but eventually over time I realize that the policies related to immigration, identity, social welfare and others aren't long term solutions. Massive unskilled immigration only benefits corporation, business owners, and elites who use them as maids, gardeners, and other home services. I hold the same views for the H1B program. Those people point of view will change with time. There is no guarantee that they will hold the same political point of view. If anything, young people are naive and easily manipulated.

I think you are overplaying your hand. Demographics show that subsequent generation will be smaller than older generations, which means their influence based solely on numbers will be less. Besides, those younger people will have other problems such as automation. AI, and other yet to be seen problems. In engineering, models used to predict the future are less reliable the further into future such models are used to predict an outcome. A lot could change by 2024 and making such a prediction, especially a political one, is futile.

You are only mad that things didn't go your way with the supreme court and are make these statements as a future threat exactly like a child or immature person would say. You make big statements, but you have not bite.

You are not an independent, but a left wing extremist who is advocating a "by any means" policy.

I'm confidant that the vast majority of Americans will not advocate expanding the supreme court simply to annul the conservative advantage on the supreme court. That only happens in countries like Venezuela, dictatorships, or one party countries.

Forgot to mentioned, no corporation regardless of political affiliation will advocate or support such a policy. An unstable government is very bad for business.
Well--there is certainly an "unstable" POTUS
What would have happened if Kavanaugh didn't get anointed???
Do you think Trump would have accepted that with equanimity?

And McConnell certainly used "any means necessary" when he blocked Obama's nomination of Meritt Garland
Someone Susan Collins revealed was basically JUST LIKE Kavanaugh in their decisions from the bench...
Who knew??? But not good enough for McConnell--although Collins didn't mention that when she was attacking the Dems for their opposition to Kavanaugh and their attack on the tradition and partisanship in the Senate...
We could have had a Kavanaugh clone on the court lo these many months ago---one w/o the attached history Kavanaugh will trail around behind him with every decision that is made by the court...

I will say that Collins history has shown that she will support a viable judge put forward by a D or R president
She just didn't complain when McConnell blocked Garland for 10 months---
Nothing wrong with breaking precedent when YOUR party is doing it...

And her claim that Kavanaugh promised her that he would not vote to over turn precedent is just disengenuous
I give him 9 months before he put his 2 cents in and a major reversal occurs...

I think many Democrats would rather have Maxi stay quiet.

Those are unlikely to even arrive on the court docket, frankly. And didn't you say a little while ago that you were going to make yourself Canada's problem?
