Collins, Murkowski face pressure from liberal groups over Kavanaugh vote
The Washington Times ^ | August 24, 2018 | Alex Swoyer

A liberal activist in Maine is vowing to spend $100,000 to defeat Sen. Susan Collins if she votes to confirm President Trump’s Supreme Court pick.

Another progressive group, meanwhile, has brought Alaska residents to Washington to meet with Sen. Lisa Murkowski, urging her to be the vote that sinks Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

The two Republican senators are considered the key to Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Each met separately with the judge this week, though both hesitated to throw their support behind him, saying they’re awaiting his confirmation hearing early next month.

Kavanaugh will be confirmed. As will Thomas’ replacement, as will Darth Vader Ginsburg’s replacement. Why? Because Donald Trump. God bless him. I’m tuning out the MSM and Fox News (which loves to replay dumbass clips from the MSM which turns me off). Looking forward to this and many more victories for Les Deplorables.

One thing the RATS are really good at....math.
They know if Trump is still President in 4 years, they will loose the Supreme Court for the next 20 years.

Do they serve the people or do they serve just the people with money?

Perhaps they need to hear from millions of Conservatives who support President Trump’s pick. Organized Marxist Liberals supported by Soros aren’t the only ones who have a say in this country.

Don’t stack the court. That’s what lefties do. FDR tried it and was slapped down by his own party. Just follow the constitution, and that is exactly what Trump does, and that is exactly why the left is engaged in this slow coup de etat.

The Court needs to be packed with Justices who will rule in accordance with the Constitution.

No.
These two consistently not only vote with the democrats, they advocate their causes.

The Democrats need them and McCain and Graham to fabricate a thin pretence of bipartisan support for extreme left legislation.

Is this really news? Don’t Dems face “pressure” from conservative groups willing to spend money to defeat said Dems? Just because the (liberal) media don’t report it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen...

“Schumer and RATs have a full court press on to defeat Kavanaugh including threats against GOP senators.”

Don’t let them get under your skin.

If they vote against Kavanaugh, they will be voted out next election.

With any luck, these two scumbag -itches will lose their power after the mid terms. Then they can become Democrats in name as they are in action and thinking.
