We were all warned about the Supreme Court. The repubs have the votes to confirm kavanaugh. There's not a damn thing we can do about it.

If it's that apparent to so many people, it must be true.

should read this.

I am so upset about this biased liar being on the SCOTUS. I did manage to voice my concern and will continue to call until he is dismissed as a candidate.

Call the Senate (202)224-3121 DC Offices. RESISTANCE WORKS! Join me and fight for our democracy!
Here is a list of contact info for the GOP senators and Dem senators who may be "iffy".

and Heidkamp

I tailor my messages to each, trying to hit points they "seem" to have concern over.

Who knows what happens to the messages, though

and she told me that they really do keep track and pass on what you called about. When you call it is noted and it isn't tossed out or forgotten.

500 times (no joke) in the past 1 1/2 years to the Senate and House. I am glad my voice, concerns and efforts are not wasted.

He will be a curse on us.

They're all absolutely ecstatic about what's happening, they just have to posture publicly so their children don't suffocate them with the pillows while they sleep the smug, self satisfied sleep known only to self righteous cretins.

.

this deserves some admiration, not derision.

ultraconservatives in office as possible, leading to the Republican majority that will NOT stop KKKavanaugh!

All of his "penance" has not chipped away at the horrible outcome of his decisions from back then.

I'm glad he's trying, but sometimes the mistakes of your youth will haunt you later no matter how different you become.

Having liberals say he shouldn't be on the S.Ct. won't be listened to by any of the Republicans. And if there are a few who are uncomfortable with it, they have to confirm him, or they'll have to leave the party. This is one of the biggest votes their party members will ever have to make, and they expect everyone to come together and make it happen. The pressure on any mavericks is immense. Not that there would be any mavericks concerning his confirmation. I haven't heard any doubt from any Republican.

This is a horrible turn of events. What the hell has happened to the country.

We finally - FINALLY!!!! - have some fighting Dems who seem willing to go all out, to the bitter end. I’ve not seen that kind of muscle being shown AND flexed by Democrats since I first started really paying attention.

It’s refreshing and encouraging - and NOW is when you and I and everyone who can should, no - MUST call in or tweet to them or send an email or SOME communication to a) let your favorite Dem or hometown rep know they’re on the right track as they fight this like hell! If you don’t have a Democrat to encourage, call or message or otherwise post encouragement to somebody else’s. Positive reinforcement lets them know they’re doing what you want.
And b) give them solidarity and calcium for their backbones if they’re wavering at all or face trying to hold on in trump country. They especially need to know that people have their back. Prop ‘em up and supply calcium supplements to their backbones!

After all, isn’t the main point “More Please!”

But they won’t know you’re with them if you don’t let them know. It’s important.

One of the posters in my community FB group has a Confederate Flag as his FB pic.

There's not much I can do locally. Only nationally.

True, it's not over. But the reality is what it is. Republicans are the deciders. I'm looking for any uncomfortableness among them with Kavanaugh. I'm not seeing it. Even Susan Collins.

Imagine if the situation were reversed. This is our one chance to get a Democrat confirmed to the S.Ct., making it a majority Democratic court. A chance to shape the country for decades. This is it. Our last and only shot at it. What do you think Democratic Senators and the Democratic voters would do to the Democrat who votes against our nominee? You think he'll ever be supported by the party or voters again as a Democrat? I don't think so. His career as a Democrat would be over. And WE are nicer than the Reubs, who generally fall in line much more than Democrats do.

So it's not over til the fat lady sings. But it was 99% over before it began. All the Dems can do is make an official record, be vocal in pointing out what kind of person Kavanaugh is, and rev up the base for the mid-terms. Plus get some national tv heroic time to jump start their presidential aspirations. Which is the name of the game for politicians and goes along w/the territory.

Unless you've heard any inkling of doubt among any of the Republican Senators? I haven't, but maybe I've missed something. They know the score. They know the stakes.

None at all.

You have EVERY RIGHT to call in and make your voice heard, and your opinion count. Even in red states there are Democrats and none of you should be overlooked. None of your interests and priorities should be hidden or ignored.

The only reason the squeaky wheel gets the grease is because it started making noise.

And how do you know nobody else is weighing in fromour side of the aisle? How do you know more of those who share YOUR view are activated enough to call in? I’d urge you to do it ANYWAY. Sometimes these jerks need to be reminded that they don’t only represent their own partisans. There are OTHERS they have to consider, too. Especially if the numbers tally up greater than the numbers calling in from their own side of the aisle.

This particular election year, EVERY republi-CON is feeling the heat. Feeling in shaky ground. Keep that in mind. Their vulnerability is your friend.

And a few others. We speak out. We speak with the truth, with facts & figures, reminding them of the children in cages, etc.

And still come the posts by the Senators about how fine a man Kavanaugh is, how great the tax cut bill has made the economy, how they support ICE unlike the socialists, how crazy the hearing disruptor Democrats are, etc.

When I used to let things slide, I don't. I speak back. As do some others. None of the garbage they spout goes unchallenged, as long as we see it.

There is no Dem. Party chapter in my area. Yet...there is a large Af. American population. I'm sure they don't vote, or the Repubs wouldn't win by such large margins. Their community is stricken with a big drug problem, and of course crime that matches any large city. I recently moved back here, so I don't have the background on that, since it wasn't that way when I left decades ago.

I'm just getting settled here (a year), or I would have had time to check into that.

I would help with the young vote, but they're majroity Republican, too.

We had an election that some didn't take seriously... that's what happened.

because that would help their so-called movement.

So far there is no one in authority saying that happened.

They were actually stupid enough to celebrate his election.

Really

and nominate a candidate who can thump tRump in the 2020 election.

TV thrives on noise. Give it to them. As recommended above, call, email or tweet what your concerns are. If there is enough noise on tv, those Repugs who are not retiring will get scared of the publicity (election).

Make some noise. Every who down in whoville needs to be heard.

It will be an eye-opener when you see all the familiar names of some who have "been trained" by the Republicons from
years ago. You'll certainly recognize some of the names and understand how they can be so corrupt and poisoned
in their beliefs. One happy family.

After reading this, along with the other revelations, I can't imagine how anyone could vote for him except Repubs.

I also predict a divorce in the future, unless this marriage is stronger than I would guess.

...frightened before. This is terrifying.

I can't believe there isn't a way we can't stop this. It is so wrong.

Thanks Comey

eom

There is entirely too much at stake here for the Hard Right and even moderate GOPers.

Kavanaugh is out for blood imo.
