Why the shite show? Was it strictly due to the midterms?

They don’t know either, it’s about emotions

Gorsuch replaced Scalia. Kavanaugh replaces Kennedy

Scalia's replacement was probably going to be conservative anyway.

All the winning trump was doing reached a tipping point for the dems and they lost their minds

Midterms and the realization that trump could possibly appoint 1/3 of the Supreme Court before he leaves office

Cause it will tske away Kennedys swing vote. Kavabaw less likely to side with the left leaning justices.

Their plan was to delay this nominee pastime he midterms hoping they regained control of the Senate. The allegations were nothing but lies aimed at delaying. People should be jailed for what they did.

Hail Mary to keep base energetic in hopes of getting house and maybe squeezing the senate so they could negotiate a more center candidate..I’m of the belief that it had the opposite affect and the right is now energized on steroids..

Gor’s seat was not consider a court altering one. Kav’s is.

The Flying Duo C unts of Holton Arms probably got the inspiration during the Gorsuch hearings. If Kav would’ve been nominated firsf, they’d have concocted the story with Gorsuch in it.

Kav gave them a clear 5-4 conservative majority. That is why. The court is now tipped towards an originalist/textualist direction.

That is bad for the Dems who want to legislate via the supreme court.

Just have to add here that that phony baloney letter the 2 door Ford "wrote" had the line with Kav's name a different font and it was said that they had tried to do the same to Gorsuch. Just took that partial line out and inserted Kav's name and were very sloppy doing it.

Just like bathhouse barry's bc do they think no one will catch something like that?

No, Roe v Wade is a red herring. It's about controlling to courts to push a socialist agenda they otherwise couldn't get passed

They knew Gorsuch was coming.

Kennedy retiring threw everyone for a loop.

Consider most Presidents get around 2 SCOTUS per 8 years. Trump has 2 in less than 2.

The time clock the republicans were working with because of the midterms. If they could have gotten Kav to withdraw, they could have strung out the process through November.

If they borked Gorsuch, the republicans could have just gone with next man up.

What until Barrett replaces Ginsburg. That one is going to make the Kavanaugh confirmation seem mild.
