George H.W. didn’t cave on Clarence Thomas.

Good point. I bet he would have on Kavanaugh though.

GHWB made sure that he would not have a tough fight like he did with Thomas so he gave is Souter.

It's not Tuesday morning yet.

I doubt that the Dirty Dems and their Media artillery slime battalions have completely given up.

I get more hopeful as each day goes by.

Well, some learned the lesson. Willard, MurCOWski, Collins still need herding. They still didn’t have the backbone to state up to Democrats. They need to be replaced.

Keep your eye on Romney. He’s salivating for a McCain moment.

I think this nomination went through without any real hitches because of a lot reasons but the two biggest are 1) President Trump's unwavering support and 2) ACB is an exceptionally well-qualified as a jurist and a moral human being.

Hopefully, ACB is the first in a line of nominations to the USSC of people without Ivy League ties. There are plenty of qualified judges who have not been contaminated by those liberal indoctrination camps.

Had the President nominated a male judge, the Dems would’ve gone full Kavanaugh on him, with accusations of rape, sexual harassment, cheating, etc.

That Judge Barrett was such a stand up and honest lady neutered that strategy and the Dems have no Kryptonite bullet they could use on Supergirl.

100% true. Trump has a spine and is not afraid to hit back. That is the difference between him and the feckless establishment RINOs.

I don’t think he would have caved on Kavanaugh but it’s hard to prove hypotheticals. I blame Warren Rudman and John Sununu among others for Souter.

I doubt he would flip because it would be a meaningless gesture, losing Romney (assuming Collins and Murkowski vote no) would result in a 50-50 tie (assuming all democrats vote no as well). Which would mean Amy would still be confirmed with Mike Pence casting the tie breaking vote. Romney would only try for a "McCain moment" if his vote actually changed the result.

If Grassley were still head of the committee he would have allowed it to be shut down. Republicans learn nothing, most don’t have the stomach for fighting like Trump does.

No, the case can be argued again once she is seated.

I wonder, which blackmail file on a GOP republicant ‘sinator’ will be pressed into service for the last minute negative votes?
