This is how the inauguration was protested. But there's no similar pushback against Kavanaugh?

Between 3,267,134 and 5,246,670 people participated in the Women's March in the United States,[26] or approximately 1.0 to 1.6 percent of the U.S. population. In total, worldwide participation has been estimated at over seven million.[11][12][27] At least 408 marches were reported to have been planned in the U.S. and 168 in 81[11] other countries.[28] After the marches, officials who organized them reported that 673 marches took place worldwide, on all seven continents, including 29 in Canada, 20 in Mexico,[13] and one in Antarctica.[29][30] In Washington D.C. alone, the march was the largest single political demonstration on record.

Kavanaugh will provide the opening for all the issues that were so passionately repudiated and feared in the Women's March. He is the key.

And his likely betrayal of the bedrock principle that no man is above the law may very well be the mortal blow to our republic. Finding that would grant Trump carte blanche to run wild. No constraints.

And no one will lay down a marker for history that we objected? Just like when Al Gore would not stand with the Black Caucus when they begged him to challenge the certification of the Florida vote. Cry the beloved country.

Over at Chuck Schumer's twitter feed. 2.7 K comments, 10K retweets, 24K likes on just one tweet alone, urging and encouraging ..... and with some good ideas, too.

No, it didn't and protests aren't going to stop the pubs from confirming Kavanaugh.

You sure do seem to blame Dems alot on DU.

To all of you in this thread wringing your hands: SHOW UP. No one else is going to do it for you.

The Women's March "accomplished jack shit," you say? Bull shit, I say.

Women connected and networked. Women organized. HUNDREDS of women are running for office RIGHT NOW. Get out and vote for them.
