1. if only the people who constantly criticize these women, and I mean on the left

understood what warriors they are and have been.

That they exhibit more courage in one day than most of us will in our lifetimes.

2. + a bazillion!

[skylucy]

28. +1000000000000000!

[SkipG]

3. For once in a long time the Dems outmaneuvered the Reps

Outstanding work!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

4. Women arm-wrestling? Is that even a thing?

One has the height advantage, but my money's on the one smiling.

What was the outcome?

Great picture.

6. Don't you recognize power hand shakes?

They just took down the cabal with the help of men; but they were the ones with ramrods for spines. Don't diminish; it's not manly.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

7. To me, it's a premature end-zone dance. A celebration for not fumbling the ball.

Kavanaugh is still the likely next SC justice. No cabal has been brought down.

8. But why not be happy for doing what they can?

Clearly the repubs have the majority and all of this maneuvering can be seen as a 'hail Mary' pass...but they can still be pleased at trying to do what is right.

10. I'm a Lions fan, so ...

... I'm always happy that someone does what they can.

But the celebrations should be for victories. Kavanaugh has not been voted down yet. And if he is voted down, there will be another right-wing judge proposed by the White House.

"Winning" in the Supreme Court context, means a Democratic majority in the Senate in 2019, and a Democratic president in 2021.

Until then, sober focus and determination.

I'm hoping the Supreme Court will sway in a more liberal direction in the next few years.

As for the Detroit Lions getting to a Superbowl, I'm not holding my breath.

9. Don't you hear that rumble in the distance?

That is the sound of the bricks falling and the glass cracking. The Patriarch is crumbling.

But back to you--doubling down? no they did a good job? nothing on that front?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

11. Yes, they did a good job, considering.

They scored some points, but Kavanaugh is not stopped. Even if he is, Trump is not stopped from naming someone even worse (assuming there is someone worse).

I feel like we've been given a week's reprieve from the inevitable. Is that a victory worthy of celebration? I certainly hope Kavanaugh is eventually stopped, and that the Senate is run by Democrats before the next nomination comes up for a vote.

12. He won't be on the court on Tuesday

and there won't be the time to go through the process again the election. Glad you admitted they did pretty good for girls.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. I left out "considering ... they're in the minority party"

Grassley and McConnell have a week to "lean on" any wavering Republican senators, and also pressure Democratic senators in weak seats. Ethics and other qualifications will have nothing to do with their arguments. They want to win, even if the country is harmed.

And, yes, those girls did themselves proud.

[wryter2000]

15. I forgot that was this Tuesday

Are they going to make a decision in Gamble for sure this Tuesday? If so, and it's a 4-4 tie, do you know what the lower court ruling was?

(Sorry, I should be up on these things better.)

[Blue_true]

16. Anything to throw cold water on a victory, huh? Even a victory that has another chapter to go.

I guess that helps the "democrats are weak" argument somehow.

[KPN]

5. Awesome photo! It is women who will save our nation ultimately. They are the true nuturers of

civilization everywhere. Many of us men recognize and deeply appreciate that fact.

[wryter2000]

14. My two Senators

And I'm sick to death of hearing DiFi is too old and should step aside.

I would hope after this week we'd hear an end to the "spineless Dems" moaning, but I'm sure that's too much to ask.

[Blue_true]

17. Yeah, some rushed forward with the Feinstein was tired argument Thursday night.

Their purity won't allow them to give democrats any credit. The faces of those two Senators? The faces of warriors.

[LakeSuperiorView]

18. Here she has Sen. Murkowski literally backed into a corner.

[wryter2000]

19. Wow

Thanks for that.

[EffieBlack]

26. I know, right?

[Totally Tunsie]

20. Sisters

[oberliner]

21. Who is the person in the middle?

[EffieBlack]

24. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee

[spanone]

22. K&R...

[sellitman]

23. President Harris.

Sounds perfect.

[IluvPitties]

27. Eventually.

[EffieBlack]

25. Are they arm-wrestling?

[coeur_de_lion]

29. Oh I love this!
