Funnily enough -- it should be easy for the federal government to prove there is a money trail -- and they can't.

Doesn't that make you think somebody made it all up.

Funny how in this case -- although there is absolutely zero evidence to prove these are paid actors -- some accuse them of that.

Innocent until proven guilty? -- Just sometimes right?

Default Kavanaugh sworn in

Who gets appointed to his place on the circuit court?

Will he/she get the lynch mob treatment like Kavanaugh?

I fully expected that the Dimms would erect a guillotine in front of the Capital just like in the French revolution. That was where if you were accused, you immediately had your head chopped off.

This was NOT about Trump.

And yeah the Democrats did still lose bigly....lol.....
You're right, I'm sure, that the Democrats and their leftwing handlers would not like Kavanaugh as they're looking for left-leaning activists judges that will legislate their agenda from the bench. But there were Democrats prepared to veto any candidate nominated by Trump as yet another means of obstructing Trump's agenda. Heck, Chucky Schumer even admitted as such.

Still makes me wonder how the Democrats would have reacted to Trump nominating Merrick Garland.

I'm pretty sure that Trump gets a say in that too.

Um -- that's subjective. You think it was the right support.

I don't think it is anything more than a symbolic win. When Gorsuch was confirmed we were suppose to see sparks fly, fireworks -- the whole word was going to change -- nothing.

I suspect we will see little change in our lives from this nomination.

No -- I'm not an alarmist thinking this is the end of the world as we know it.

Barrett is next, as Ginsburg can be asked to leave/retire, due to loss of confidence after forgetting the 14th amendment..
