(8,200 posts)I remember how even after Nixon was forced to resign under threat of being impeached millions of Republicans refused to admit his wrong doing. He even made a comeback as a "honorable statesman" as was treated as such my many. Regardless of what transpires regarding Trump, millions of his, and do not use the term lightly, brain washed bootlickers will regard him as their messiah. Hell's bells, they regard Reagan, whose administration had 24 indicted and many go to prison, as the patron saint of the Republican Party. It is difficult to fathom how a man who inaugurated a war on organized labor is regarded by working class people as their savior. But it only demonstrates the effectiveness of their propaganda campaign.
Regarding Kavanaugh, he will be confirmed and he will do to job he was selected for. That is the destruction of women's right over the control of their own most personal being. The fact is that he is a staunch conservative Catholic and is committed to doctrines that millions, including myself, abandoned when the hierarchy put maintaining their power above common sense of the laity and thousands priest and nuns. Make no doubt about the issue. It fundamentally religious and he is committed to over turning the Supreme Court decision. This is the sole reason he was selected specifically for this purpose. It may not come to an actual confrontation on the specifics of the Roe decision but could be over states ability to further resitrict it or even outlaw abortion or possibly the constitutionality of state laws that place herculian requirements on facilities that make it unfeasable to operate.
The only advantage that can be gained by the Democrats objections to this syncopate's nomination is to cast it as another onslaught by the Republicans to deny citizens their rights and imposed their religious beliefs on anyone who dissents with their establishment of a virtual theocracy. I can only hope that he can provide a impetus for people to get informed and vote this criminal syndicate out of office into the ash bind of history.
