[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kavanaugh will sail through.  Sure we'll here lots of this and that, but it's a done deal.  Collins, Murkowski, Manchin, etc will all confirm.  Plus, he's actually a great pick.  I dare anyone to come up with a plausible argument on why he should not be confirmed.

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.[/quote]

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

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.[/quote]
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?[/quote]
