If they were smart, they would withdraw. Instead, they’ll double down on personal attacks and screaming about how they want to court pack.
Although not my preference, if it is ACB, I REALLY hope someone on their side makes some dumb comment about her adopted kids. Can easily hammer them for the racists they are if they do. In addition to their extreme anti-religion views of course.
Since the liberals are all about women’s rights, girl power, women’s empowerment and all that, they should be thrilled to see a woman nominee to the Supreme Court.
By their own criteria, a woman nominee to the Supreme Court uplifts women, empowers women, and is a strong sign to young girls growing up, that they can aspire to great things in life.
So I wonder how the liberals will complain about this nominee, when she meets the criteria they talk about, being a successful woman with a great family life? She has it all, as they say.
Smoke screen, they have only one goal. Delay the vote until after the election. Every they do is directed at that goal.
The attacks on her adopted Haitian children have already started.
Democrat senators are in a pickle. If they go into the hearings with guns blazing, they will make a**ses of themselves attacking a highly qualified woman judge that is a Catholic and the mother of seven. Not exactly the kind of video footage you want to be providing the GOP in the days immediately prior to the election. If they withdraw from the hearings, the far left and liberals will be hysterical because a lifetime appointment of a conservative to replace Saint RBG on the Supreme Court was made without mounting a spirited defense to oppose it and stall the replacement process until at least after the election and, should Biden win, after his inauguration (if he lives that long).
The best the Dems can hope for is that they cut a deal with McConnell to skip the committee hearings and go directly to a vote on the floor. Since the “nuclear option” removed the threat of filibuster and ultimate confirmation is assured, provide time for Dem Senators to fully vent in order to put a check in their box from their party’s rabid base. Then vote, swear her in, and get back on the campaign trail.
By the way, I liked Lagoa for her F;orida and Latino vote tie-ins.
