I gained a lot of info from FR on Kavanaugh and I was wondering at the time why the Left freaked out so much during his Senate confirmation when he’s on their side. Perhaps a mystery that will never be solved.
I found that odd too. Kavanaugh was clearly to Amy Coney Barrett's LEFT, but they went ballistic with Kavanaugh's nomination and blew their entire wad opposing him tooth and nail. Why they were so upset about an mundane establishment hack Anthony Kennedy clerk replacing Anthony Kennedy is beyond me. I expected the RAT opposition to her to be 20X worse and them to blanket the airwaves with ads 24/7 "warning" everyone that ACB is a "far right wing religious nutcase" who thinks the Virgin Mary tells her to ban abortion, or some character assassination theme along those lines. By the time they got done with her, I expected the public to see her as the looney mom in Carrie.
As it was, the ACB nomination was just the RATS bitching about it quietly and it sailing thru overnight.
