(26,397 posts)It feels good for this person to believe that the Democrats are there to somehow magically stop the God-given GOP agenda.
We all know facts do not support this. There was a huge resignation among Democrats this was going to be a rubberstamp Federalist.
The only problem was that Trump and his team, per normal, failed to do any due diligence - accepting the Federalist society's list without any thought. If they were smart, they would have picked another Gorsuch - someone so bland and unimpressive that even a few Red State Democrats would have no cover to vote no. But they didn't.
I believe the real Democratic tactic was to get Kavanaugh to resign so at least someone who can at least fake the job properly and without embarrassing themselves can be brought forward.
