Democrats think they must enter the boxing ring with 12-pound padded gloves while Republicans go in bare-fisted, armed with whips and chains. They need to change this mindset!
Senator Schumer seems to think all is well. He said in a statement that Democrats "were able to shine a bright light -- for the American people and Republican Senators to see -- on Judge Kavanaugh's troubling views on women's rights, presidential power, and protections for people with pre-existing conditions." "This was a good week."
No Senator Schumer, it was a bad week. Now it's over and the batteries in the Democrat's light have burned out!
This week the Senate Judiciary committee is about to confirm arguably the most conservative judge since Ronald Reagan nominated Robert Bork for The Supreme Court in 1987
If confirmed, Kavanaugh's rulings will affect you, your children and grandchildren.
My question to all progressive politicians is what now? You showed the American people you care. Great. But, did you change anything?
Mid-term elections are just over 2 months away. Shouldn't we wait until after the election and swearing in of the 116th Congress to choose a justice nominated by arguably the most corrupt and destructive President in American history?
A legal way must be found to derail the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh, certainly until a full investigation of his past rulings and alleged sexual misconduct have been fully examined.
Don't let our politicians sit back and say, "we tried, but we just don't have the votes.
Protest, contact your Senators and the Senate Judicial Committee. Tell them you are fed up and not going to take it anymore. The future of our country lies in the balance. Act now before it's too late!
A little bit of positive Late Breaking News! "" Senator Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) became the first Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee to suggest it delay moving forward with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation amid allegations the judge sexually assaulted a woman as a teenager..."
While this sounds promising, don't be lulled into inaction. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and other Republicans are still shooting for a vote on the nomination later this week!
