If Kavanaugh is voted down, it will be a stunning blow to our western legal traditions and one which we may never be able to recover.

It's guilty by accusation. Guilty without evidence. Guilty by hearsay.

We cannot allow Democrats to set yet another new precedent.

I doubt if GOP is capable of this. Where are they going to get billions in dark money, for instance?

Jeff Flake could cast the vote that ends America. If Kavanaugh goes down, I think it’s probably irreparably broken. I hope he’s getting at least 30 pieces of silver.

they should focus all their energy on ensuring Collins and Murkowski and Flake are on board.

If Judge K goes down the next 3 weeks are a full court press to get every single outraged US voter sick of this swamp crap to the polls and elect 5-8 new GOP Senators

Then Trump goes back in Jan to a new GOP Senate with out Flake and Corker and enough new votes to lose the whiny moderate sisters and rams an even tougher more conservative pick up the Dems ...

Trump will pick the next Justice. Kaugavuah is the most moderate of the choice Trump could pick given how evenly balanced the US Senate currently is. Enough wins in Nov and he next one can be much more a hardliner Conservative and the Dems will be powerless to stop it.

"I voted for [Democrat appointed Justices] Sotomayor and Kagan, never thought twice about it," Graham said Tuesday."

Totally believable. Probably didn't think once about it.

It’s always been guilt by association and guilt by hearsay with Dems. It’s the only way they roll.

"And if you think only one side is capable of doing this, you're mistaken," he added.

I don't know about that, Lindsey. Right now, the evidence is that the Democrats and their media allies can come damn close to stopping a conventional, qualified Supreme Court nomination, even though the GOP controls all three branches of government, by pressuring the weak links in the GOP. At this point, Flake, Collins and Murkowski are the weak links. On amnesty where they do the same thing, you are the weak link. They use the media to pick off enough GOP support to stop conservative policies or nominations. The GOP hasn't even tried to do this. No Dem Supreme Court nominee was seriously challenged even when the GOP held a majority of the Senate. Other than Garland. The evidence right now is that the Dems are flexing their muscles more and more and the GOP looks weak.

He didn't think about it at all. Supreme Court justice appointments are not about fairness as in giving feminists as many women on the Court as men. It's about appointing judges who are honest about the intentions of our Constitution.

Sorry, Linds. Only one side IS capable of this. If the GOP tried to assassinate the character of a Democrat with such bogus, ridiculous accusations, the media would absolutely destroy them and they would be in retreat in about 2 minutes.

Patriotic Americans gave the GOP the strongest grasp thatbtheybhave ever had on the Federal Governments levers of power and they still fail to deliver on their promises and refuse to confirm and excellent and honorable man to the Supreme Court? Republicans hold the Senate, the House, and the Presidency and yet they refuse to deliver so it may be time to form a new political party.

Again: Just like the Dreyfus Affair in France where he was railroaded with lies and distortions. Kavanaugh is our Dreyfus Affair. Who will be our Émile Zola who wrote J’Accuse?

Sorry Senator, the River only flows one direction. The Left’s Media owns the Narrative.

The Rats could put up a guy for POTUS who Raped a Woman and the Left and their Media allies would support him 100%.

I know that hasn’t happened yet. Oh wait...

“I keep telling my colleagues, if this is the new normal, God help us all”

It’s been the new normal for 30 years, Lindsay. All the while you’ve been giving reach arounds to the democrat party that you’re now so offended by.

I disagree, only one side is capable of doing this. The Republicans will never grow a spine and balls to do something like this depraved travesty that will see unfolding.

It will be one more step toward civil war but will it be a tipping point?

Be prepared, folks.

But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.
