and go ahead and put Kavanaugh on SCOTUS, even if it means losing control of Congress. It would give them 30-40 years of hard right-wing Justices. It only takes 51 Senators to put him on the court, but would take 67 Senators to get him off and there is no way in the foreseeable future that the Dems will get to 67.

If the Rethugs manage to get the 5-4 hard-Right majority that they have been working toward for the last 30-40 years, we are well and truly screwed. People just don't seem to realize that at this point, the GOP knows that, as a party, it is pretty well fucked anyway, but this is their last shot at getting the oligarchy they have been aiming for.
