He's a standard-issue conservative pick. Under normal circumstances, I would agree that the minority should just step aside and let the nomination go through.

These are not normal circumstances, though - the Republican Party destroyed any hope for normality in Supreme Court confirmations with Merrick Garland.


Yes, #resist we must.
What exactly do you think the Dems should do? What actions can they take to prevent his appointment?


Democrats can do NOTHING to prevent Kavanaugh's confirmation absent some real surprise which is unlikely especially given that he went through the confirmation process not so long ago.

What Democrats can do longer term when it comes to future confirmations is to actually win elections and to do that they need to focus on the entire country - not just what will sell in CA and NY.

No party can lose elections at just about every level and then expect to call the shots when it comes to judicial appointments.

WTF is with your failure to grasp this: Democrats win more votes. Gerrymandering literally means we win more votes but have less representation. You can look it up. In many places, the GOP - in seats they didn’t really mathematically earn - take a precision scalpel and remove Democratic voters from the rolls. They make rules so that IDs highly likely to be held by GOPricks count - NRA cards, for example - count as ID, but other ones that are far more likely to be heeled by Democratic voters - like college IDs - don’t. They pass voter ID laws and then in poor neighborhoods and communities only close the offices where they could get these IDs. And let us not forget what the GOP did with Russia.

Stop telling Democrats to “actually win elections.” Start telling the GOP to quit cheating.

And release Kavanaugh’s documents. What are they hiding?


Back to gerrymandering .......

No one can help you, kiddo. I’m not supporting treason and whatever crooked mess has brought us this dreadful nominee. You are.

Democrats keep trying to delay the hearings by the Judiciary Committee on Kavanaugh's nomination:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters Thursday that Democrats will file a lawsuit if the National Archives does not respond to their Freedom of Information Act request. The suit is a last-ditch effort to obtain the documents ahead of confirmation hearings set begin Sept. 4.

The Democrats are doing the right thing - because the Republicans would do the same if roles had been reversed - but let us not pretend that this is anything more than an attempt to push back the confirmation process beyond the mid-terms just in case the Democrats gain control of the Senate.

You can whine all you want but the answer is to actually WIN elections - and winning elections requires the Democratic party to be responsive to needs of ALL constituents throughout the US.

Hint: CA and NY does not represent the rest of the US but it will give you bragging rights on winning the popular vote.

I get it. You aren’t listening to reason at all.

Kavanaugh May get confirmed - the Repos have totally abandoned any pretense at working for America at this point. But he, Gorsuch, really every judge that Trump appointed should be recalled. Trump is a criminal. The GOP is criminal. They can’t win for reals. So they cheat.

We get it: when Republicans win it is because they cheat but when Democrats win, it is the will of the voters!

These people are so swampy. So McGahn’s personal lawyer is the one reviewing Kavaugh’s documents for release. That is completely inappropriate.

Neither of you gets anything. Two more brains burnt out by excessive Fox usage.

Funny.... on Trump’s list I count at least 5 women.

And, it wasn’t conservatives who were slamming one of those women........There is a 10 page thread with most liberals complaining about how bad she is.

Gerrymandering works both ways. Look at Maryland.

FWIW, Democrats don't always get more votes. If that were so, we would have more Dem governors than Republican. And, we have significantly more GOP than Dem governors.
