Moore did nothing illegal A 30 year old chasing a 16 year old and trying to get her courting with you wasn’t illegal in the cotton belt.

We may not like it but a few of the moderates saved the day

Collins could lose her seat over this

I doubt it. Having lived in DC most of his life he knows what the Left does.

KNOWING about the Socialist's tactics........versus being the object of their tactics, are two very different things.

I know some people are asses, but it doesn't get personal for me until they throw their garbage my way.

I just think Kavanaugh may have had a wake up call, per his responses at the witch trial.

“Gorsuch is a WASP.”

Episcopalian but raised Catholic. So he’s like a half-Catholic.

“It ain’t over ‘til it’s OVER”..... I won’t trust anything until the vote has actually been taken, but the situation is looking good.

Yes she could - but her re-election bid is in 2020. A lot can happen between now and then.

By the way,

There are 35 seats up in 2018, of which 26 are held by Democrats.

We can only hope. Some who were good on paper disappointed us. Sandra Day O’Connor, for example, became pretty liberal after starting out fairly conservative. Blackmun went from being a conservative lawyer to a left wing jurist willing to create rights out of whole cloth. Kavanaugh seems like he is fairly well grounded in the tenets of strict construction. But you can never know how a person will react to the possibility of becoming a god-like authority from on high. The ability to do what they want unchecked is tempting to many.

I listened to Collin’s speech while in the car. I thought it was one of the best speeches I have ever heard on the Senate floor. She did what had to be done.

Disappointed with some of the comments on this thread.

Well then good, she did good in that speech. I thought it was just face time.

NEITHER of those 2 ladies is a Senator. They are presiding ‘clerks’ or staff that runs the procedures & count the votes & list who voted what.

Yes they were. They were Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-West Virginia) and Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Mississippi).

Moore was removed *twice* due to thinking rules and processes don’t apply to him and he could make decisions unilaterally - using the judiciary to engage in vanity politics.

Not to mention a very lazy campaigner and took the weekend before the election off to go to a ball game.

I also hate to be a Debbie Downer but Roe vs Wade isn’t going anywhere. The best we can hope for are some tweaks to it to tighten it up some.

Give it the 10th Amendment treatment and throw it to the states. Let the people decide.

It has always belonged with the States. It only came before the Supreme Court because the Libs couldn’t control the states and had to do an end run around Congress to get it. That’s why they are afraid of a right leaning SC. They won’t be able to use the SC to make law.
