Dems will have to strategize hard. Its been less than 6 months since the Kavanaugh fiasco.
They can’t conduct the same freak-show when RBG kicks off. The American public will not accept it.
They will have to be much more clever and cunning.
“The American public will not accept it.” Half the American public.
“They will have to be much more clever and cunning.”
I think that they are about out of having any more tricks! That said, this is for all the marbles for them so they will create a spectacle. Ruthie has to understand that her “gig is up” at the SCOTUS. If she can’t function as Justice and show up for arguments etc., The Court will have to have some discussions about asking her to vacate her seat. Roberts is a POS, but even he won’t be able to cover for her for very much longer.
With assistance from the media, the Dems will dish out anything they want to and the American public will take it.
It has been thus since the Clintons moved in on us about thirty years ago.
The next confirmation hearing will be worse. There is more at stake for the Dems. Trump and hs/our nominee will prevail.
May as well pray. This is inevitable the way I see it.
They can't. I will be an Anti-Catholic diatribe all day all the time if it is A.C.Barrett as the candidate. They have already asked her a boat load of loaded questions in that regards when she had to go in front of the Senate. Look, the Church, this Pope, Priest behaving badly, and their outreach programs have them under a cloud, but the faithful slog on regardless of all that in the background.
They will be going after the faithful by extension even worse than they did by trying to destroy Kanvannagh's memory of and the fact that he just attended a Catholic School.
They are playing with fire IMHO. How do the faithful not vote against this discrimination should they really want to step in it again...
I think ugly is the right word for what’s coming if Judge Barret is the nominee. Sex as a negative only works against men; with a woman it backfires. Insulting a religon popular with 1/4 of the population, and particularly Latinos is not helpful either. It will be extremism this time and a roll out of the “War on Women” once more, but the height of the furor will be nothing we have ever seen. The violence of the protests, not their theme, will be the strategy.
“The American public will not accept it.”
If anything should have all but eliminated the Democrats in the last election, it was the Kavanaugh debacle.
But not only didn’t that happen, the Dems are now a majority in the House.
Based on that alone I do not share your optimism.
“They can’t conduct the same freak-show when RBG kicks off. The American public will not accept it.”
So ... maybe they will conduct a ... different ... freak show? :-)
