Saw a party-line Rat on fakebook ask “is this the hill the GOP wants to die on?”
The type of groundless attack, levied at the last moment of the hearing, better be worth fighting over. If you don’t the tactic will be used ad nauseum against EVERY GOP judicial nominee.
Commierats are fine with witchhunts, they don’t like the outing of their Commie comrades.
For them, it is a lose-lose scenario. If they vote yes, their own voters may abandon them. If they vote no, they motivate the Republicans to come out in droves against them. Either way, they lose - and I think the Republicans after this Kavanaugh stunt are more motivated than every before to come out in droves anyway...
-—He cited the lack of a supplemental FBI investigation and his own inability “to get all information necessary” as reasons for his opposition.-—
This is such a crock. There’s no “information’ to “get.” You have her story, and the affidavits of people she claimed were there who dispute her. That’s it.
So the fact that you can’t nail down an amorphous accusation full of holes, that’s a reason to vote against and not for?
Pull my other leg.
>>This is exactly why Trump wants the vote asap ... some of the polls in those red states show the dem senator behind ... make them all vote now ...
We need the vote taken NOW because early voting and mail in ballots are already starting...
Democrats and LIVs are voting before Squeaky Fraud’s story falls apart.
It’s not a nightmare scenario if they do what is right. And what their state’s voters want.
I hope that's the case. Either way, while we no longer have a reason to punish Arizona for electing McCain and Flake, I believe the President should definitely hammer Maine and Alaska to get their attention that the days of betrayal are over, and that hammering includes telling McConnell straight out that Collins and Murkowski are no longer running any committees or his pet projects in Kentucky are getting the boot as well.
so these people actually think the American people will put up with with the destruction of an innocent man? That might fly in places like LA and San Francisco, but it infuriates middle America.
He is not the one tarnishing the Supreme Court. It’s the democrats who attacked Bork, Thomas and now Kavanaugh.
Sleepy Joe needs to go!!!
It’s not just about defeating Kavanaugh, it’s about preventing a vote. Having to vote on this is certain Senator’s worst nightmare.
Have you punched a pinko socialist today?
Yup. Right now forcing the weasels to take a stand and vote is even more important than whether Kavanaugh gets on the court or not.
Re. “Is this the Hill we want to die on”
We aren’t the one’s dying on the Hill.
Don’t tell these reprobate losers but throw them out even if they vote for Judge Kavanaugh. What a bunch of duplicitous degenerates.
Manchin was the most likely to survive... but given this Kavanaugh stuff, even he’s a long shot, and formerly “SAFE” places for the Dems... such as MN, and WI may get into play..
Manchin will vote to confirm, unless of course his vote would seal the nomination.. then, and only then, he MAY be willing to take the bribe from the left and vote no.. but he knows his political career is OVER if he voters no... Kavanaugh is supported by 80% iin WV... He votes no, he knows he’s done... The ONLY way I can see Manchin even considering a no vote, would be if his yes vote would be the one to put it over the top....
Depending on the poll you look at Heitkamp dropped 6-8 points OVERNIGHT after she announce (foolishly I might ad) that she was a no.
Donnelly, announced NO, to only backpedal to a maybe in less than 48 hours.
if the Kavanaugh fiasco is a general 6-8 point swing, particularly in fly over country..... Dems are looking at a loss of possibly 10 seats or more in the Senate.
A 8 point swing puts places that weren’t even remotely in play, on the map.
I said going into this fall, that I expect the GOP to gain 6+ in the Senate, and if the wind blows just right, they could see double digit gains.
Thanks to this Kavanaugh fiasco, the winds are looking more and more like they may blow just right....
Any shot at retaking the house by the Dems, is GONE.... They will be luck at this point if they don’t lose seats there too. I’d say at least 50-50 odds republicans gain seats, and its ALL due to this Kavanaugh nonsense.... A completely self inflicted wound for the Dems.
Kavanaugh will be confirmed 52-55 votes... the Dems will be going crazy for at least a few weeks after, on full display for the world to see, going into late October...
They are toast.... The idea that somehow stopping Kavanaugh would A) happen and B) help them win the Senate was beyond a pipe dream.
First thing on the docket in January 2018, once the new Senate is seated, should be the censure of Pelosi for her behavior in this. Investigation and prosecution of everyone involved in illegal activities around this...
This part is horse hockey as well. Chief Justice Roberts is already licking his chops about the prospect of being that all important fifth voter on the court and filling the role of Kennedy, O'Connor and Lewis Powell before about being the most important person in America.
The Dems will want to shut down the investigation and vote and then blame Republicans for the ‘sham investigation.’
They spent the last year saying the FBI was great and ‘above politics’ and now they’ll bash this investigation as partisan b.s.
This lingering another week or two and it being the MAJOR issue of the election is good for Republicans.
Look for the investigation to be extended closer to midterms to “run down all leads” because it’s to our political advantage.
This also has taken the Russian ‘collusion’ talk off the front pages and made the entire mid-term on this issue and it’s a major winning issue for Republicans.
I say, continue the investigation another week or two. Expose the leftist liars and track down the leakers. We can take the Senate vote mid-October.
Oh, Joe will get out his huntin’ rifle a shoot a hole in the Assault Weapons Ban bill, again. All will be forgiven...NOT!
That's rich. The Dems have destroyed what was left of due process to try and keep Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court. The only destroyers look themselves in the mirror in the morning.
