Don't understand the push to get Kavanaugh confirmed

[Va Lefty]

gop could easily get someone just as bad, if not worse, confirmed. Amy Barrett and Joan Larsen both clerked under Scalia, both would overturn Roe v. Wade, both would uphold any action by Traitor don and both would be confirmed rather easily. It can't be Traitor don's pledge to Kennedy to appoint Kav. He's word has never meant anything before. Is it really just not wanting to back down? Any ideas?

1. Kav believes in the Unitary Executive, not all GOP do. That's what Trump wants.

4. Yes, that and they have gone so far down the Kavanaugh road, they're all in for pushing him

through before the Midterms, as a trophy piece.

5. Yes, they needed to whip up the non college Ed White male redneck base.

8. Yes, actually when you think about it, it would suit them if Kavanaugh went down in flames, on

the basis that it's easier to get the base out on the anticipation of getting something, rather than expecting support, having delivered.

2. Yes, he does not want to back down

He views retreat as a sign of weakness. If he were Douglas MacArthur, his last words would have been not have been "I shall return" but "I am standing right here" just before the Japanese kill him.

3. He will be the legal shield for Donnie 2 Scoops against Mueller.

6. I think he would get the same from Barrett or Larsen

7. It's what the Koch Brothers want; their Evil Overlords

Want to boycott Koch Brothers products as an F.U for their treachery in this? You can't. You'd pretry much have to be living in a homemade house, with homemade furniture, homemade linens and toiletries, and on and on. They pretty much have their hands in everything we all use in modern-day life. I want them to go away and retire in peace on some tropical isle and leave all their billions to their cats after they pass.

9. In addition to his one sided view of presidential power

It would also be hard to get somebody else approved before the new Senate is elected and even McConnell realizes that it will be awkward to try to shove through a nominee during the lame duck session.

10. Not to mention

they are also the white boys who never could accept No, as a answer.

I think that type is dying out, one hopes.

11. This is all about protecting the perks and privileges of the ruling class.

Kav is "one of us" and the people who actually own the country will be damned before they will let anyone, least of all a woman, stand in the way of his assumption of his natural place in the world.

[Thrill]

12. You can tell he's going to be extreme. Because they want him too bad

And he wants it too bad
