As Democratic senators begin mapping out how they will wield their limited procedural weapons in the fight over President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, they are grappling with a central question: How much legitimacy do they give his candidate?

They were pretty brutal to Betsy DeVos at her confirmation hearing for US Secretary of Education. She “has it all” too—beautiful, smart, Christian, and the richest woman in Michigan and one of the richest in the US. . .
The Senate doesn’t care about getting women in power—just Dem women.
I hope that happens. Every non vote reduces the numbers of positive votes necessary for confirmation. It isn’t the majority of Senators, it is the majority of votes cast. An abstention is not a vote.

I saw a clip of Barrett and family leaving their house today, getting into a car. Nobody looked happy. ACB appeared very tense.
Tells me the Dems are loaded up and she already knows it.
joe's election hangs in the balance
....Go ahead and attack a women with 8 children, two that are adopted AA and Catholic...
How much do they want lose the white women vote ?
If they weren’t at 100 all the time they would still have the filibuster and there is simply no way the Repukes would have pulled that trigger in this environment. A few weeks after Trump was elected to replace Scalia, no problem. They are not the strategic giants they would have you believe
“Read where a couple rats are not going to even vote....”
That makes it so you need all the less votes to confirm.
Please, please, please, pretty please!
What is definition of insanity attributed toEinstein?
"...doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
How arrogant is it of the Democrats to think that it is they who "give legitimacy" to someone like Amy Coney Barrett?
Any right-minded person would chastise any Democrat who says this, declaring that it is Judge Barrett's own efforts and life experience that gives her legitimacy, not anything that a Democrat "gives" her.

Good one...I told the wife almost the same thing the other day...any dimm Sen who asks some stupid question should receive your suggestion.
If they don’t engage, their lunatic base will be coming to THEIR house with a riot supply van in-tow.
Someone forgot to tell them the simple answer is in the Constitution.
No one cares what they “give.”
Even the idiot dems know it’s pointless.
ACB is the next Supreme Court Justice.
Whether they go after her or not depends upon what they think will give them the best mileage in the election.
Best move for Dems is to withdraw
They need the china virus back - Trump knows this, he wants the fught
All Trump does in Win Win Win! I feel a little bad for the Rats. Well, not really. Elections have consequences.
It’s free air time. They’ll engage. They pretty much have to anyway given the hysterical workup. If they don’t engage they end up having to explain to the shriekers why they didn’t resist someone who they’ve been claiming is hellbent on denying them their abortions. Also, it’s a chance to take free shots at Trump in the questions and try to make the candidate defend him. Cheap and dirty is their style.
Trump couldn’t have picked a better time for the old broad to croak.
Indecision is another signature of poor leadership....
