Washington (CNN) Thursday was a very good day for Brett Kavanaugh -- maybe his best day since being chosen as Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee back in July. Friday was even better, as his confirmation to the court appeared to be sealed with three key senators deciding he's worthy of being confirmed....
...So what would it mean if Kavanaugh is confirmed Saturday? Two main things.
1. Kavanaugh on the Court would fundamentally reshape it in a more conservative direction for potentially decades to come. Lost amid the massive political fight occasioned by the allegations by Ford and Ramirez is the fact that Kavanaugh is without question more conservative than the man he is replacing -- Anthony Kennedy. Whereas Kennedy was regarded as the swing vote on the court for many years, Kavanaugh's ascension would change all that. There would likely be a relatively reliable 5-4 conservative majority on the court.
2. Trump would be a big winner. Circumstances have conspired to hand Trump a major opportunity: To put two justices on the Supreme Court within his first two years in office....
The Point: There are no asterisks next to the names of the members of the Supreme Court. Whether you got there on a unanimous Senate vote or barely survived, your vote still counts the same. And when that vote is one of only nine on the most important court in the country, with no term limits, it counts a whole hell of a lot.

The dems will wind up resorting to assassinations. either the nominee themselves, or several senators or congresspeople.
its what socialists do. ends justify the means.
EXACTLY
Rember Scalia? It started then. IMO
Kav winning means we can shoot libtards, right? /s ?
And RBG will not last the winter.
It means you are an idiot. Cillizza the “Gorilla” has gotten everything wrong. That’s what he is there for, to parade his rabid leftist idiocy, all the while oblivious to it.
Justice Clarence Thomas may be the next to retire.....not Justice Darth Vader Ginsburg - who will remain motionless in a wheel chair in her office for the next 10 years, dead or alive, like Norman's mother in the fruit cellar of the Bates Motel.

I hope the Republican senators homes, vehicles, and offices are well protected tonight. I would put nothing out of bounds for the vicious anti-FirstAmendment left.
Actually they should stay in the relative safety of their offices, locking the door against predations by Hirono, Feinstein, Schumer, et al.
I peg him only slightly more reliable than Kennedy.
The next likely will dramatically rearrange the chairs.
Now, on to November 6 when we can teach those slimy despicable bastards how to behave.
Well we still have a swing voter. His name is Roberts.
Sunny days are here again...
I think it means Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg might as well give it up and retire. POTUS won’t be going far left anytime soon.
most of us suspect it.
Scalia seems to have been murdered.
no body is perfect. perhaps they forced him into via means and methods we cannot see from where we sit.
Scalia was a saint in my view.
no single man should go to a resort alone, without body guards and witnesses.
ever.
saint or not.
And there may well be two more in the not so distant future. This next one shouldnt bother the libs so much though, what difference does it make if its 5-4 or 6-3 or 7-2 (grin)
Kavenaugh only has to be what he aspires to be - a good and fair justice who reads the constitution as it was written.
Im thinking RGB is having an MI atm.
Someday, there will be an opera about the battered and bruised Kav and his triumph and subsequent triumphs.
He survived the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
DiFi will play a role not unlike Haman.
He will live in history - an American hero celebrated with beer parties.
I love it when a plan comes together!
I have to apologize I thought djt would be slightly better than the beast but had no idea. Djt>>rwr
