I disagree with you

...Not at all. Unlike you I have common sense and can spot this fraud from way out.
Didn’t really have to try considering the entire farce is held together by buts of string and a smidge of glue
To be loathed by the likes of the abject fucking ignoramuses on this board is a badge of honor
And Cocaine Mitch plays the politics card. Cry me a fucking River.
that's why you run to respond to every post every single time like a needy toddler
Fair reminder that it isn't just Trump. They don't need a single Dem vote. Republicans hold every branch of government, all the power that McConnell has been plotting to attain for years, yet they are always, always, the victims.

Yep. They spent months after Trump's election bragging about how the Democrats were now a "powerless minority" that had no control over any branch of the federal government (or the great majority of state governments), and how all-powerful the GOP was, yet since early 2017 all they've done is complain and yell about what meanies the Democrats still are and how they won't agree to anything and why won't the Democrats just stop opposing and criticizing them all the time. They don't need any Democratic votes to confirm Kavanaugh, so why are they stalling? Could it be that maybe the larger public beyond their Trumpite base has serious concerns about his credibility? Nah - let's just blame the minority party for everything that goes wrong!
Aren't they required to go through hearings? Accomplish due diligence? Allow majority and minority senators to ask questions to the candidate? I am not a McConnell guy, but I don't think you can just straight vote in a Supreme Court Justice without going through the proper procedure. Perhaps you can, and this is all just for public perception...I could be wrong on that.
Democrats started this chain of events by reducing the filibuster rule to simple majority in 2013 (You can blame it on Republicans for being hardheaded during that time, but there have been plenty of times in our country's history where a minority party wouldn't submit). Republicans continued/escalated the fight with Merrick Garland. Democrats are very obviously counter punching with the same tactic. The left gets lefter and the right gets righter. Its an ugly cycle. Not really sure of a way out. Garland was a good pick and the Republicans acted awfully. Kavanaugh is a good pick, and the Democrats are acting awfully. (I don't believe for a second that any of these accusations are based on credible evidence. Something most likely happened, but she has no way of determining that it was Kavanaugh, and his life speaks to his character, particularly with women. This isn't a Donald Trump or Bill Clinton kind of pattern). This is a delay tactic and nothing more to try and get this thing to the mid-terms.
Kavanaugh will be confirmed IMO, but the larger issue still exists. The good of the country is not a primary objective of either party. Power is the only currency. Not sure how you get past that in the current rule setup / political climate.

intellectual integrity you have demonstrated in your work at K& E and in the government.
