I’ll enjoy it when Trump gets his third pick.

Lindsay Graham said it perfectly: “You’re legitimizing the most despicable thing I have seen in my time in politics. You want power, I hope to God you never get it.”

Reminds me of the last years of the Roman Republic.

It is just plain nuts to believe more than. 20-25% of the public gives a flying hoot about Judicial appointments.

They may listen to the news about it but no way will I believe it changes any votes.Americans political memory retention is slightly less than about 30 minutes.

Are Republicans ready for the fights ahead?

I think this episode did a whole lot to steel Republican resolve. The Democrats made clear that they are fully willing to go scorched earth if it looks like they won't get their power back anytime soon. I think that was an eye-opener for go-along-get-along types like McConnell and Graham. I think they finally saw the light that closing ranks in defensive formation is far more important than continuing to pout over the fact that Trump beat Jeb.

I’m ready!!!!

To @sshole Eric Holder:

(1) When you go low, you go lower and lower and lower. There is no limit to your trashy ghetto lowness, you are the lowest of the filthy low.

(2) Go ahead and try to kick us. We have most of the 300 million plus guns and 8 trillion bullets. And we have LOTS of concealed carry permits. Bwah hah hah hah!!!

Brett Kavanaugh and his team did this very well, defining him as a heartfelt supporter of women throughout his life, in a way that made (especially) conservative-leaning women sympathetic to his cause.

oh goody, does that mean we we’ll get to watch a stream of white men weeping and sniffling as they give accounts of themselves...?

[raisetheroof]

The Kavanaugh appointment will carry with it a weighty asterisk for as long as he serves.

Weighty? The only people who'd put it there are on the left, and it means nothing. No matter how many asterisks they attach to his name, his vote counts just as much as that of anyone else on the court.

If the Dems go after any more court picks like they did with Kavanaugh, they may as well OD on Fentanyl and get it over with...
