The one in DC is at the strangely named "Celebrities rally against Kavanaugh."



It is being held in front of the Prettyman Courthouse, which is directly across Pennsylvania Avenue from the East Building of the National Gallery of Art. I had thought they'd be up by the Senate office buildings.

perhaps even as memorable as Tippecanoe and Tyler too ... we'll see

Remember this is stolen seat #2 ... Merrick Garland, the election, Gorsuch (who never would have happened without the stolen election), and now Kavanaugh ...

This is a Racket, unfair by any measure, citizens will not forget, and Kavanaugh will be a candidate for impeachment over the next 30 years

Just do it!
