I will oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination with everything I have, and I hope a bipartisan majority will do the same. The stakes are simply too high for anything less.

1. Prove it Chuck.

Show us what you've got. PLEASE MAN.

[Hortensis]

7. He's "got" the power we gave him, and

he'll use "everything he has" from the losing position we gave him.

But, agree. PLEASE, man, make us a miracle! Our sowing the wind didn't mean we wanted to reap the whirlwind.

8. Here here...however...

I'm no cloud-seeder. I voted for HRC.

[Hortensis]

9. Of course. :) Just feeling a little bitter right now.

Tomorrow's another day closer to the midterms.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

13. I'm with you.

11. What is it you think he can do?

[uponit7771]

16. +1

28. I'm looking forward to Schumer showing what he's made of.

[Sneederbunk]

2. We are going to to see what that is.

[Freethinker65]

3. ...and I got nothin'

[Amishman]

6. Yup

Kavanaugh is just wishy washy enough on Roe to give the Pubs excuses not to defect.

[BigmanPigman]

4. We will be fighting too!

We can never have too many people RESISTING!

[joshcryer]

5. We'll see Chuck. Kavanaugh will completely demolish Roe v Wade questions.

[mcar]

10. Thank you, Senator!

12. K&R...

Judge Kavanaugh got the nomination because he passed this litmus test, not because he’ll be an impartial judge on behalf of all Americans. If he were to be confirmed, women’s reproductive rights would be in the hands of five men on the Supreme Court. #WhatsAtStake #StopKavanaugh

24. Roe v Wade was decided by men

Seven of whom voted in support of pro-choice.

The right to an abortion has been defended my men as well (see Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey).

Also, the woman that Trump was considered is even more extreme with respect to this issue.

25. Right.. Deleted. but I thought emails

were forever. Maybe except for the fucking Feckless Fraud Error.. The M seem Nor-Mal.

21. Be an interesting test for Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt

newfound anti-Trump/GOP religion. Wallace worked in the Bush WH. Sje must know Kavanaugh fairly well.

[Cha]

26. Yeah, it will be.. we'll see.

22. Dems should focus on Heller

Collins has always voted yes on R judicial nominees. Anything she says otherwise is lip service. Forget her.

Murkowski was rejected by the AK GOP and won as an independent write-in candidate. She might be influenced by her constituents and be sincere when she says she'll listen to them.

But Heller is in trouble in NV, a state Clinton won. He is the weak link in the Senate R caucus. Dems need to focus on calling and pressuring him. I assume he wants to keep his cushy taxpayer funded job although I wouldn't put it past McConnell to tell Heller there's a good job waiting for him with some big money GOP entity should a "yes" vote cost him his seat.

"Red state" Dems have plenty of ways to, as Ron Klain said, "get to no" on Kavanaugh that won't upset their constituents.

[oberliner]

23. What does that mean?

[Miles Archer]

27. I guess we'll find out.

[CrispyQ]

29. Are there some red state senate defectors who will vote with the GOP?

There almost always are.
