I hope he is right.

I also hope he is Cantorized at the next election.

Bush League Republicans must become extinct before the Republic does.

Kavanaugh is probably a “good” pick with upside potential, passable with today’s Senate. But after the midterm elections, President Trump should have a Senate that will confirm rock-solid Constitutionalists like Thomas Hardiman and Amy Barrett.

I concur. Baring some real scandal (as opposed to the little nickel and dime stuff the democrats keep trotting out every five seconds), it appears he may very well sail through despite democrats best efforts. Susan Collins has all but said she supports him, Rand Paul is making noise and being a prima donna like normal, but McConnell will throw him some bone and get him on board. That leaves Murkowski, but Alaska is a hard red state and I just don't see her coming out against Kavanaugh, and even losing her wouldn't matter if they can fly McCain in on a hospital transport to cast a vote as he has already said HE supports the nomination.

The democrat's "thin RINO wall" is collapsing faster than Hillary's blue wall on election night. My guess, when all is said and done, Kavanaugh is comfortable confirmed with 54 votes. If it appears that he will be confirmed anyway, Schumer will give the red state democrats like Manchin permission to vote for him, as it changes nothing, and forcing them to vote no would just endanger their seats come November.

If every Republican votes yes, and early signals from Collins say she will vote yes, then yes, there is a 100% chance. Democrats have zero power without any Republican defectors, all they can do is kick and scream. They shouldn’t have blew their load nuking the judicial filibuster in 2013, setting the precedent to nuke the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees in 2017. They shouldn’t have gone crazy over Gorsuch, then their antics would have more credibility now. Imagine if they just let Gorsuch go quietly and still have the filibuster, they might have had a shot. Morons.

HA! (in which rosenstein interferes).....

THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION IS IN MORTAL DANGER FROM DEMOCRATS/PROGRESSIVES/SOCIALISTS.

[RoseofTexas]

Great!! So why wait so long?! Bring it to a vote in about two weeks!!

[catnipman]

yeah, i figured Kennedy retired when he did so there’d be enough time to get a replacement confirmed before the Court convened in October ...

And on to the appointment of the man with the next most extensive record of good decisions after Kavanaugh. No political correctness, no affirmative action for nominees. There’s no good reason for it.
