And that’s the ballgame.

Republicans might well hold every single senator in line and get him through. But a nominee RIGHT NOW, by this POTUS, who is on record as wanting to overturn the unanimous Watergate tapes decision?

By a large, and increasing margin, Americans agree that they want the next Congress to serve as a check on the presidency. And stop things like this trade war.

Pushing a guy who’s unpopular, with this on his record, this summer or fall, just unde the wire to subvert the will of the midterm voters, would end the Republican majorities in the House and Senate.

First of all, he didn’t say anything about overturning the decision. He was asked his opinion on the decision.
Secondly, this guy is only unpopular in YOUR world, PP.

DP. He's popular, if you compare his popularity to Bork. He's very unpopular in the real world.

Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s new nominee to the Supreme Court, has been on the national stage for all of nine days, and the early reviews aren’t great: Polls show Kavanaugh as one of the most unpopular Supreme Court nominees in recent history.

The traditional way pollsters test support for a Supreme Court nominee is this: “Do you think the Senate should vote to confirm [name] to the Supreme Court?” At least three high-quality pollsters have asked a version of this question for Kavanaugh already — enough to start taking the data seriously.

According to a Fox News poll conducted July 9-11, 38 percent of registered voters said they would vote to confirm Kavanaugh; 32 percent said they would vote against him. That +6 “net confirmation rating” is the second-worst initial score1 out of the seven Supreme Court nominees Fox News has polled.2 Only Harriet Miers, whose appointment to the court by George W. Bush was withdrawn, fared worse, with a +5 score.
According to a Gallup poll taken July 10-15, 41 percent of U.S. adults want to see the Senate vote in favor of Kavanaugh, while 37 percent want him voted down. On Gallup’s “initial reads” of 10 Supreme Court candidates since Robert Bork,3 only two came close to having such a low score: Bork, who was the rare nominee to lose a confirmation vote outright, and Miers. Miers had a +8 net confirmation rating; Bork’s was +6; Kavanaugh sits at +4.
And according to a Pew Research Center poll conducted July 11-15, 41 percent of adults said Kavanaugh should be confirmed, compared with 36 percent who said he shouldn’t be. His +5 net confirmation rating is the lowest of the past eight nominees beginning with John Roberts, including Miers.

No. I didn’t forget. That was linked upthread. Thought it was important to be “fair and balanced.”

How about: He's a right wing ideologue who worked for ideologue Ken Starr?

Gorsuch voted to shred voting rights to ensconce minority Republican rule, and so will Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh benefits from right-wing affirmative action, as one of the few pro-billionaire law students in his class at Yale.

(Yes, these apply to most all conservative judges. But guess what - most conservative judges are unqualified, hold wildly extreme views from the majority of the country and the majority of smart people who are not billionaire-supported, and don't deserve spots in any judgeship, never mind this one.)

Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin (Wis.) announced Thursday that she will oppose Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court over concerns that he would undercut the Affordable Care Act and a landmark abortion case.

“The President vowed to appoint judges to the Supreme Court who would overturn Roe v. Wade, and I cannot support a nominee for a lifetime appointment who would turn back the clock on a woman’s constitutional right and freedom to make her own health care choices, including access to birth control," Baldwin said in a statement.

The statement she made is so general. Nothing about his qualifications. Nothing about getting information from his confirmation hearing. Nope. Just a sweeping statement that she won’t support “this” nominee. Before she is able to ask any questions of him.

I guess she isn’t interested in winning reelection. She can kiss her Senate seat bye bye.

No Senator in a swing state is worried about not voting for an elitist who had every privilege in life and goes into debt to buy $200K worth of baseball tickets. He's just like us!

If you are so worried about his finances, let the confirmation committee ask him about it.

I’m not demonizing him. Merely pointing out that he couldn’t get a clearance for a GS-7 desk job with that kind of debt. What is it from? How did he have the same debt for so long? Who paid it off? Why? Will it recur? Who will pay his debt off then, and what will he owe them?

So maybe better for Trump to nominate someone with an unproven track record?
