Kavanaugh was bloodied but he prevailed. A lesson for us all.
Once again the democrats were exposed as unscrupulous shysters.

A side benefit of confirming Kavanaugh is that Republicans now see that they can win when they stand up against the Democrats. This is an invaluable lesson. Like a team that wins a big game, Republicans now realize that when united, they can play offense, score points and win.

Hope this leads to a permanent change in their mindset. Fight back or be resigned to losing.

I switched to MessNBC for a few moments after the vote. Joy Reid was beside herself. LOL

Dr. Fraud et al. needs to be investigated, prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

I would be satisfied with a Harry Reid-style beatdown.

Wait until Amy Coney Barrett is nominated to replace Ruth Ginsburg. They will go apesh!t.

Absolutely. I can't wait. She is precisely what the country needs. I hope the good lady is every bit as smart and tough as she appears.

There will be blood.

Exactly. They have no moral compass. The only difference this time is there was no cover on the evil.

“Mitch is doing the job.”

Yes, he’s blocking the rest of Trump’s agenda and supporting the mueller coup & jeff sessions just like a demoncrat would. I guess we should be thankful that he’s getting judges seated on the bench. /s

If the fate of the republic weren’t hanging in the balance, I would maybe cut these scumbag ahole repukies in the senate some slack. But I won’t.

"Wait until Amy Coney Barrett is nominated to replace Ruth Ginsburg. They will go apesh!t."

To be honest, I think Barrett is far to moderate. And justices tend to move left with years.

When RGB finally starts sucking dirt we need a balls-to-the-wall, full on conservative hanging judge. Forget about being nice; the DemonRats will treat any nomination with utter contempt. So find a fire breathing 40-something conservative to take her place. To heck with being fair minded or polite to these monsters in DemonRat clothing. Civility is always veiwed as weakness by these shrill haters. Respond in kind.

Lesson learned: The Dems have to get all their ducks in a row on their character assassinations rather than just bringing one duck or even merely quacking at the Republicans to get them to give up.

You'd think they would have learned their lesson with Clarence Thomas, but it only emboldened them. What happened to Kavanaugh should never happen to another nominee. This crap has got to be stopped before it begins. Maybe reform of The Judiciary Committee rules are in order. Like when the female Dems walked out of the hearing last Friday, they should be shut out, and not allowed to come back in to vote, or at least have their salaries docked, or they should be fined. That's a form of protest, the same thing the NFL players are doing while on the time clock. Why should they get paid when they choose to protest on the job? No hard working American can get away with that.

Senators who refuse to meet with a nominee shouldn't be able to vote on anything related to that nominee.

There should be a cut-off date for any allegations to be brought forth to the Committee...not the night before the Committee votes to confirm or deny.

Maybe this Committee needs to be sequestered during the hearings, and confirmation process. Lock them up so they can't get a weak Republican in a room, and bully them into submission. That would frost the Dems nuggets for sure. I'd love to listen to them cry over that one.

“If a GOP guy has to chose between America and his daughter’s wedding, he choses the WEDDING.”

That sums up the repuki scum in the senate. What protests? What about the deep-state? What corruption? What war?

‘The hell with Trump and the deplorables, when does the party start in the senate steam room?’

With all due respect Mr. McConnell; The only way for them to learn any lesson is for you to expose how they did it and then throw them in prison. That is the only thing that they fear.

Hopefully they will get their payback in the midterms, and in each ensuing election after that. I hope they lose seats every election cycle because of their evil ways.

I’ll volunteer, but wait until they find out that I was in a spaghetti food-fight in HS, and ate Elmer’s paste glue in kindergarten.

Idiots at CNN are going nuts now forecasting doom and pointing blame.

Sweet.

They learned their lesson I am sure of that.
Next time they will ramp it up 10 fold.

Yes, most likely that will occur. However, Lindsey 2.0 will be chairing the judiciary committee by then, not Grassley. So far, so good.
