(Fuck) It seems Kavanaugh will be confirmed

With the additional information from the FBI, the White House is fully confident the Senate will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Shah said.

The Wall St Journal reported that the White House found no corroboration of sexual misconduct allegations against nominee Kavanaugh.

This entire process was worthless. It was designed to not find anything.

If not Kavanaugh , it’ll just be another judge who holds the same opinions . If Kavanaugh gets confirmed we can deal with it later by holding a thorough investigation in the House instead of this sham and impeach his ass.

When Sen. Thom Tillis ran against Dem Kay Hagan in NC he barely squeaked out a win. Mid term turnout among Dems was only 6% in an easily winnable race. Well, this is the result.

I think it will be Murkowski.

My guess is that the rest of the wavering Repub senators have been threatened that their careers in the party will be over if they step out of line.

Don’t lose hope I still think he will not be confirmed but maybe I’m just an optimist here

don't even realize the full implications. Plenty of asshole R's who are socially liberal so go ahead bring in Kavahole...and every apathetic non voter can go fuck off.

Every millennial I've talked to can give one shit about all this. I'm enraged and it's 7 am.

Sadly, I never doubted it.

All the breathless posts last week, “He’s toast!” “Boom, he’s gone!” “He’ll resign by Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, the weekend...whatever” all came to naught.

Anger drives people to vote. Now the only angry people will be those on the side of dr Ford.
