They want a liberal federal judge to do for them what they can’t get from
the Senate: a block on the nomination.

Why didn’t they think of that before? Rats turn to the courts because they can’t win elections.

Oh and they think Kavanaugh is a Russian stooge as well:

I don’t think the judicial branch has much say in this particular case. This is the check and balance between branches.

Judges today order Presidents to allow in illegal immigrants, impose abortion and gay marriage as law over popular preferences, rule on gerrymandering and decide on taxation levels.

Its not too far a stretch for the judiciary to decide when the Senate can advise and consent on judicial nominations.

The twerp is sworn to uphold the Constitution yet can’t be bothered to understand the document or the government created by it. He’s old enough to have probably taken a Civics course in high school where the balance of powers among branches was covered fairly early in the curriculum. Like most libs, he can’t be bothered with such niggling details.

A lawsuit one describes as “not desperate” is desperate.

All attacks on Kavanaugh are desperate. And they can be assured that there will be retaliation.

ACTION ALERT: Democrat Sen Kamala Harris has some 3000 Facebook ads against Kavanagh.
Harris is urging voters to sign a petition highlighting what she says is his opposition to Roe v. Wade and loyalty to President Trump.
NOTE WELL: Harris’s petition links to a fundraising page suggesting contributions of $15 or more to her campaign......
Harris isn’t up for re-election this year, but has presidential ambitions.

Linking opposition to Kav w/ fund-raising looks suspiciously like Democrat blackmail.
She and other Democrats are scrounging for campaign money on the back of Kavanaugh's nomination.

=============================================

ACTION NOW: Americans demand charges be filed against Kamala....and other Democrats....
who undermine the political system, by putting a price on their votes against Kavanaugh.
