Kavanaugh SCOTUS Thread! Senate Confirms by 50-48 Vote Margin; Kavanaugh Sworn-In

[BoBurnz]

There's basically one avenue left here.

You find a name you can live with, and you force someone to defect (McCain likely won't vote).

Wasn’t Kennedy already a conservative Judge?

he was a conservative judge for sure but could also be a swing in some cases. trump will pick another gorsuch/scalia type

Dems have to retain all their Senate seats in November and pick 2 off.

A herculean task. It's not impossible but a very long shot.

They have a 31 percent chance of winning the senate.

Congratulations bernie or bust , trump voters and third party voters you morons got what you wanted

Doesn't matter, they'll vote and confirm the next justice before mid-terms. There is no avenue wherein the Democratic party can stop this now.

Just gonna repost this; the amount of Bernie voter defections falls in line with typical Primary voter shifts. Comey's Letter, Russian Propaganda, Gerrymandering, Poor campaign decisions by the Clinton team all played roles in this and three of those are outliers compared to the typical election...I was a "vote your conscience if you're in a clear blue state only" guy; but focusing on fighting and alienating potential allies while the Republicans stack the odds even more in their favor is ass backwards.

This wasn't a typical election!

6-3? More like, we will continue to get 5-4 decisions. How often did he actually swing left?

Should be enough ammunition for voters to get out and vote.

Trump gonna cram a new judge in there quicker than a mexican child in a concentration camp.

I remember clearly when Kennedy out of his own rat trap mouth said a couple years ago he will retire when a republican is president..

This is about the 2014 midterms. We sat it out and got fukked for a generation.

One can hope If they don't, then I don't wanna hear one more god damn word about the "resistance" or whatever all else the fukk anybody on the left in this country ever has to say again. Cause it's all just empty words unless we take action.

This is also true. But people need to get it together. Might not be able to swing the tide back (who knows another hellspawn judge may die early), but we can stop the bleeding, setup the future, and make strong policy changes that will actually have to hit SCOTUS.

Interesting

If they got the Senate, they can block SCOTUS nominations for 2 years
