Look more closely at the polls and the breakdown... Fox News poll - 12% of Democrats are for confirmation; 70% of Republicans are. Gallup poll - 14% of Democrats are for confirmation; 76% of Republicans are. Pew poll - 16% of Democrats are for confirmation; 73% of Republicans are. See a pattern here? The Democrats are following the Democratic Congress in obstructing. I would venture to say that ANYONE from Trump’s list would see the same lack of support from Democrats. |
The Democrats learned it from the Republicans. Merrick Garland, anybody???? |
Can anyone in the GOP explain why public documents in the national archives are being shielded from review for this nomination? |
More interesting factoid: 23 to 30% of REPUBLICANS do not believe he should be confirmed. That's not good. And I bet a lot those are Republican women who don't like the direction in which he would take the court. What are the Independent numbers? |
Kavanaugh will be confirmed despite all of the Democrat's attempts to derail the nomination.
Manchin and Heidi H have or will be meeting with him despite the general boycott by Democratic senators. I expect there will be at least 55 votes in favor. |
37% opposed 38% in favor 25% no opinion Gorsuch had 44% in favor by Is and 31%opposed. Again 25%, no opinion. https://news.gallup.com/poll/237251/initial-views-kavanaugh-confirmation-divided.aspx |
A liberal, feminist, female lawyer argues for Kavanaugh to be confirmed:

Well, I'm married to a banker. We'd never trust anyone who got himself into $200k in debt when he barely made that much. But Vladimir, we know you're trying to dismantle the US Government, so carry on. |
Who cares? The GOP can’t be bothered to share all his relevant documents and the man has zero money sense. He shouldn’t be confirmed for his mega debt alone. |
Translation. Attorney who argues cases before the Supreme Court supports Supreme Court nominee to curry favor when she appears before the body. |
So the same is true of liberal attorney Neal Katyal who appeared as a witness before the House Judiciary Committee in support of Gorsuch? |
How is reviewing policy documents penned by Kavanaugh derailing the nomination? This is a lifetime appointment and deserves proper diligence. |
He appears before the Supreme Court as well. So sure, why would it be different? |
How about these conservative legal scholars who supported Kagan? Dubious motives again?
