Progressive Groups Hit Schumer On Efforts To Block Kavanaugh Nomination
thehill.com ^ | 09/05/2018

Thirteen progressive groups have reportedly signed a letter criticizing Senate Minority Leader Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) over his plan to defeat Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination.

The letter, signed by organizations including CREDO Mobile, Indivisible, Democracy for America, and Daily Kos, argues that Schumer is "failing" to rally all members of the Senate Democratic caucus, particularly red-state Democrats, to resist Kavanaugh, according to Politico.

“Your job as Senate Democratic leader is to lead your caucus in complete opposition to Trump’s attempted Supreme Court takeover and to defend everyone threatened by a Trump Supreme Court,” the letter reads. “But unbelievably, nearly two dozen Democrats have still not come out against Kavanaugh.

"That is not the leadership we need," the groups continue. "You are failing us."

Directly implied by that statement, is their true purpose, which is the opposite of "Trump's attempted takeover of the Supreme Court". IOW, they want to leave the SCOTUS position available for the liberals'/progressives' takeover of the Supreme Court. IOW,it's 'wrong' when Trump and conservatives do it, but perfectly fine when democrats do it, which they've done in the past.

Dems have proven they hate all that is good: Kavanaugh, Trump and this country, and have embraced all that is bad: evil, abortion, *slam, blm, nihilism and extinction.

A very close relative active in liberal and progressive legal community circles told me yesterday that Mueller is their October surprise. He will be indicting people in his administration in late September to early October. They also feel they can make the case for reversing all his signed into law legislation.

It might be time to try public self-immolation Chuckie, so people know you’re serious. Give Cory Booker a big hug!

Not beyond credulity. Yet Trump has demonstrated that he will not be caught flat-footed and will certainly have an October counter-punch surprise of his own, twice as hard.

There will be blood.

Ah, I see -- they are upset because they think he's not pushing hard enough to block it.

Push away, progs. Spend lots of money on it. Burn yourselves out.

The blood of useful fools is media sweet. It won’t be the blood of those who instigated the violence. Let’s hope that this administration has the equipment and resources to pick up on the chatter, finding, and command structure of the instigators.

"“Yeah, after they used the Mensheviks to gain power, the Bolsheviks stood them up against a wall and shot them.” And never doubt that the left in this country are Bolsheviks. I’m afraid we are headed towards a shooting civil war."

Nice to see you know history. Many never heard about the Mensheviks.

Big difference in the USA. The patriots have 300,000,000 + firearms and many "Oath Keepers" are trained, prepared, and equipped to deal with an enemy both foreign and DOMESTIC. Keep your powder dry Brother.

Six ways to Sunday Schumer. Ground Chuck. They're not sending their best.

Where's the beef, Chuck?

And lest we forget, it was the Bolsheviks who picked the names. The Mensheviks were in fact the majority party, but the Bolsheviks tagged them with the name ‘menshevik’ which means ‘minority’. Kind of like the pronouns used with ‘transgender’ folks.

That actually isn't his job. But it's interesting that so many leftists think this way.
