Judiciary Democrats are so deluded by the belief in their own intellectual superiority that they felt comfortable
colluding with a pack of wild animals, to savagely attack Kavanaugh with lies and deceit.

Dems unleashed wild factions of anti-Trump pit bull activists, obsessively bent on denying Trump another nominee to the USSC.

Lucky for us, they are all of them, stupid judges of the American character......they badly misjudged the wisdom
and sentiment of Americans.

Every move they made was met with a firm, “Back off, buddy.”

Hope it's the patch, lasts longer.

No one who has ever messed with Trump has come out the better.

He has trumped in business, in the arts, in international politics and against a seditious band of traitors in Congress.

Our President doesn’t lose Chuck.

How bad have the progressives gotten when they setup Mitch McConnell with a grand slam home run in Patriot Park

I hope when it is all over, at least a few of the dozens (or hundreds) of bed-wetters on earlier threads will have the decency to say that maybe they were a bit mistaken about the evil and spinelessness of McConnell (and Grassley).
I can understand pessimism, on general principle. But the mass of comments that McConnell WANTED to throw the confirmation, and that merely a show of spine would have made it sail through was way too much.

Mitch had ONE GOAL, to put Kavanaugh on the Court, and if that took looking wimpy, being blasted, etc, it didn’t matter, so long as he could get the 50 votes needed. He did.

just blasting ahead, a week or more ago, would have been brave and heroic — so was Culloden, Pickett’s Charge, and the Guard at Waterloo. They all lost. Mitch won. Give him some credit.

If you have seen “Hamilton,” there is a scene where Hamilton wants Washington’s support for his vision of a strong industrial America — Washington calmly tells him, in a great song, “YOU DON’T HAVE THE VOTES” — and until he does, it will go nowhere (Hamilton finally gets the votes by making a deal with Jefferson to move the Capital to the Swamp).

Mitch played The Long Game (title of his autobio) and got the votes.

He deserves at least a little credit

The more ethnically and racially diverse America becomes, the harder it is for leftists to convince people that America is an inherently unjust country. So they have to keep screaming louder and louder over the most minuscule nonsense. And the media has to try harder and harder to elevate this minuscule nonsense to the level of Martin Luther King trying to end Jim Crow laws. Eventually, they reach a point where they jump the shark, and have no clue how ridiculous they look to the average person. That’s where we’re finally at. It took 50 years, but thank God we’re here at last.

Dead Bodies are the only thing Liberals understand. I recall the protesters at Kent State the Day it happened the protesting all over the country Stopped and it lasted 40 years.

They should have learned their lesson when they tried this in Wisconsin in 2010...they never did and never will.

Well, the smear tactics worked against Roy Moore. Why shouldn't they use those tactics again?

Oh, I think the Left has learn a lesson and it's the same lesson the Left always learns when it doesn't get what it wants: "Okay, we tried being friendly. Who knows how to make a bomb?"

If we don’t bury the bastards in Nov., there is no lesson to be learned....only encouraged.

Make it 3-0 when you count the demise of Merrick Garland’s nomination.

Yep, they are exactly like children - they just keep throwing tantrums and throwing tantrums and raising the volume to get what they want.

Because they sure as h*ll can’t get what they want on its merits.

There are a number of Freepers who spent the last 2-3 weeks destroying their credibility with the most outlandish statements and predictions about this nomination. I finally gave up on them when I realized they were just FR's version of the barking moonbats you heard in the Senate gallery today.

Personally, I'm very disappointed I got one thing wrong: I predicted Kavanaugh would be confirmed on October 7th. :-)

I just tweeted him that I’m not a big fan, but when it comes to judicial nominations he is stellar.

I told my wife that I expect they will have 24/7 Capitol Police security for at least a year and may have to move to a guarded community.

When Hirono and Feinstein are found guilty of conspiracy, they need to pay all of his security expenses out of their own pockets for life.

Public hearings are relatively new. Written testimony and personal meetings with committee members then vote.
