On Friday morning, Senator Susan Collins of Maine said that she would declare later that afternoon whether she would confirm or oppose the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. For the women who opposed Judge Kavanaugh, many of whom had traveled to Washington from all over the country, her decision was their last hope. By 2:30 p.m., half an hour before she was due to announce her decision, Collins’s office on the fourth floor of the Dirksen Senate building was filled with protesters, most of them women, and members of the press.
The crowd was overflowing into the halls and stretching close to the entire length of the building. The women began quietly to sing the civil rights anthem “We Shall Overcome.”
When Collins began speaking in the Senate, they fell silent. A woman held a phone to her ear and relayed the remarks word for word to the crowd. Collins’s statement was hardly spontaneous. It was measured and deliberate. As it became clear that she was going to support the nomination, people began screaming at the television. “You’re done,” one woman shouted.
By the time I arrived in the grand, sunlit atrium of the Hart Senate Building where much of the opposition energy had been focused these past two weeks, the mood was entirely somber. Collins had just ended her nearly 45-minute statement with a vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. The lines sung by the women outside Collins’s office still rang in my mind:
We shall overcome. We’re on to victory. The truth shall make us free. Someday.

And you wonder why Trump dislikes the Establishment Media....
I wonder who makes all the Soros signs. I love these pictures. Will keep the in the same folder as the Dems on election night 2016 :D. One of my favorite bored activities is to go on You Tube and replay the footage from that night. Always makes me happy for days. lol. I gained 10 lbs (and since lost it) when Obama won the presidency in 2008. We suffered greatly as conservatives during that time. But we still worked hard for change and upheld our pain with dignity and respect for other people and our country.
Gosh, there are so many feel good stories coming out.
“I believe survivors”
Good for you. I believe people who aren’t proven liars.
Explain, it seems perfect to me. Democrats are crying and upset over their defeat. Who better than boohoo girl to share their angst?
It’s not like I’m celebrating the death of my enemies, sort of the opposite.
Guys and Gals.......This country is doomed with idiots like this......This is unreal.....
Looked at6 that picture and it struck me. There is a Dwarf Woman screaming at Lindsey while a Woman wearing a Pro Choice Shirt is standing next to her.
I wonder how many Women have Aborted (Choice) a Child because their Prenatal Tests indicated the Child they were carrying had Dwarfism?
Lib Tears ,,,Yes!
What are the universities putting in the cafeteria food that turns these know-nothings into petulant children?
How about an investigation - do we have an honest FDA yet?
Recently I read somewhere that libtards are laboring under the misapprehension that “checks and balances” means 50/50 representation in government, of libs vs conservatives. I’m series and don’t call me Shirley.
Too bad all of us know women who have lied to us. Their assertion that women don’t lie is ridiculous.
“Checks and balances are disappearing before our eyes”. Seriously? Where? When? I don’t think “checks and balances” means what this broad thinks they mean.
I said in THE most appropriate thread ever.
I didn’t say it very clearly.
I’ll say it again:
The gif in post 4 is one of the all-time greats and this thread is the most perfect thread ever for it.
I don’t know... still doesn’t come out very clear.
How about this:
The gif is great and in this thread it’s GREATER THAN EVER!
I laugh at these seditious retrograde reprobates. May they drown in their tears. What loons.
HA, I am old enough to remember when Demoncraps seemed to have a chokehold on both houses of Congress for decades. They didn’t call for 50/50 under Demoncrap presidents in office.
Lots of really professional signs with professional sound bites on them. Funny how prepared these spontaneous demonstrations are.
I’m just NOT going to comment on why Lindsey has a smile on his face whilst there’s a green-haired midget in the background. Nope, I’m not gonna do it...wouldn’t be prudent.
But, DAMN, would I like to....
