This isn’t going to stop. They want to make confirmation so painful that nobody would ever accept a nomination. It is embarrassing and so wrong. Words escape me at the moment

[Major Matt Mason]

Democrats are a well-oiled machine when it comes to this stuff - same thing they did with Cain and Moore. It's all about delaying seating a SC nominee, whether it is Kavanuagh or someone else - and they might succeed.

[softengine]

You are absolutely right. The short term gain is, they delay confirmation producing an adverse effect on the midterms. Long term - exactly what you said.

I believe more and more each day, that we are headed toward a second civil war in this country.

“They want to make confirmation so painful that nobody would ever accept a nomination.”

THIS.

[manc]

It’s disgusting , and one would think by now the GOP wold grow a pair, alas they have not.

[shanover]

We do not have a civil society anymore. The American government is rotten to the core and we will fall harder than Rome.

"They want to make confirmation so painful that nobody would ever accept a nomination"

Let's correct that, shall we?

"They want to make confirmation so painful that nobody NO REPUBLICAN OR CONSERVATIVE would ever accept a nomination."

The bastard Dems know that Republicans will always be genteel to a fault, even if it means losing this all-out war. Just look at how many Rs have voted "aye" for Dem SCOTUS nominees.

I love Kav, and hope someday he’s on the Court, but this is dead, at least for right now.

At least there will be a long “investigation”, and who knows who will come “forward” to relate some college tail.

Is there time to nominate someone else and have him confirmed before Jan?

I went to college in the ‘60s - good thing I never aspired to be on the Supreme Court.

My prediction is that THEIR confirmations are going to be even more painful...

[Republican Wildcat]

That is indeed their long term goal. Destroying Kavanaugh and making his family fear for their very lives is to serve as a warning to any future nominee: We will do this to you as well - so don’t bother accepting an appointment.

[RooRoobird20]

This is so outrageous and sickening, it’s hard to find words.

But let’s not forget: the evil Rats WANT to discourage us with these attacks, make us so disheartened that we don’t show up to vote in November.

Now is not the time to be discouraged and sad. Now is the time for anger and fighing back!
