These senators have no clue about their role of "advise and consent."

Ever since Edward M. Kennedy launched his successful smear of Judge Robert Bork, Democrats have been dying to mount another Borking.

They tried with Gorsuch without being patently obvious because the numbers weren't there, but this time they're going for the gold despite the numbers, because Kavanaugh represents the dreaded 5th vote.

I think the independent judiciary is a fantasy. Perhaps the founders didn’t see it turning out the way it has, but I’m convinced they should be elected and somehow by region of the nation based on the geographical coverage of each circuit court.

Personally, I think 6 years is enough. I’ll settle for 8. No reelection until sitting out a 6-8 year term.
