on the Court. In Kavanaugh's case, an actual criminal will be put on the court with zero consequences.
I'm so fed up with this country. What an absolute cesspool. Evil always wins here.

(51,588 posts)"Its worth noting that, of the five justices picked by Republicans, including Judge Kavanaugh, four were nominated by presidents who first took office after losing the popular vote. And the slim majority of senators who said they would vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh on Saturday represent tens of millions fewer Americans than the minority of senators who voted to reject him. The nations founders were wise to design the court as a counter-majoritarian institution, but they couldnt have been picturing this.
Most Americans are not where this Senate majority is. They do not support President Trump. They do not approve of relentless partisanship and disregard for the integrity of democratic institutions. And they have the power to call their government to account."
