Well yea, of course itā€™s a scam. A secret report that doesnā€™t say much is all the cover the ā€˜moderateā€™ GOP needs to vote yes. Did Democrats really expect anything else from the GOP? Did Dem leadership really think the GOP would let the FBI actually conduct the investigation in ā€˜good faithā€™? The GOP does NOTHING in good faith and any Dem leadership that thought they would deserves to go!

ā€œDear Senators,
Please allow Bart to be on the Supreme Court as he is a good boy.
Signed, Epsteinā€™s Mother.ā€

Assuming he gets voted in, here is my hope for long term. The vote is straight party line. This rallies the Dem base into a raging blue tsunami and we take both houses next month. With investigative power, they uncover all the backroom shenanigans and cover-up of known Kavanaugh sins. More despicable behavior is revealed upon further investigation, things so heinous that he has to resign or possibly even be impeached and removed.

A boy can dreamā€¦

Yesterday, the GOP tweeted how the original background investigation into K contained no indication of sexual misbehavior or problematic drinking. Today, the WH has already said this new report exonerates K.

So much for not talking about the content of background reports.

Right now the reality isā€¦

If Kavanaugh is seated, dems take the Senate and the House. The backlash the Republicans will get will be of their own doing.

If Kavanaugh is not seated, Republicans hold the Senate through equalizing the excitement gap then trump nominates someone who will vote the same as Kavanaugh.

Either way, repubs get a reliable 5th vote on the SC.

At this point weā€™re better off at least having the Senate going forward the next two years.

Iā€™m sure none of the 4 democratically appointed SC justices Plan to retire but Iā€™d rather the insurance on the other 4.

I was pretty angry with Nixon, Reagan, Bush Major and Bush Minor, but I never gave up on America. With Trump and his gang of legislative stooges, that may change.

Voting yes for this Donald Trump flunky for the Supreme Court says a lot more about you than you think. It says you donā€™t care anything about the truth, because Time after time Donaldā€™s candidate lied. Your vote says I donā€™t care if heā€™s a partisan hack even when he said what goes around comes around. Your vote yes says you donā€™t care that this candidate in conspiracy theories against the Clintons. Your vote yes says that you donā€™t give anything about the independence of our branches of government. Since the house of representatives and the Senate have been nothing but yes to the hack liar thief little live in the White House says that you go along with all of his believes one of which is to control the FBI the CIA and now the supreme .

This is a good analysis and somewhat comforting. The fact is, we could lose/win and they could lose/win under either scenario. If Kavanaugh gets on the court, it might just prompt someone to file a criminal complaint.

GOP is counting on that - giving up. I pray that that doesnā€™t happen, especially with young voters. If heā€™s confirmed, a lot of people will be very, very dismayed. The GOP never gives up. Cannot cave.

I am beginning to think that the GOP and Trump are planning on fixing the Mid Terms. They have done nothing to avoid Russian interference and the documented recommended vulnerabilities. They are being this brazen because they think it is not going to cost them.

The US Constitution sets forth a system for establishing rule of law suitable to the age. Our law now includes a modicum of rights for all, protected by various institutions. Unfortunately, the creators of the Constitution never imagined, nor did our best minds of the time when it was tested in the Civil War and its aftermath, that an entire party would dedicate itself to the dismantling of institutions. Yet that is what must be done to strip such rights away. In the Great Tearing Down, the Democrats are those who cling to the belief that our institutions must be protected to protect all of us. The Republicans believe that the time when that was possible is gone, and by dismantling institutions the state power can at least be used to protect them. Everybody else, not so much. Naturally, there is a robust patina of Fatherland and patriotism, but a lifeboat mentality all the same. Sort of like United Russia.

Senators began making their way Friday morning to a secure location in the Capitol

Similar to Scott Pruittā€™s Cone of Silence and Jared Kushnerā€™s Secure Back Channel to Putin.

Whatā€™s with the SCIF and the secrecy? Is there classified information in the FBI report? Weā€™ve heard and seen the testimony, the statements, the signed letters, the anonymous letter, the frustration of some at not being able to give statements, the very presidential mocking, the lies ā€¦ And we will hear more lies from the WH and the Republicans. What more do they need to cover up? This is just a way for the Republicans to be able to lie more about the contents of the ā€œinvestigativeā€ report. Letā€™s see it.
