(658 posts)- I don't let the bully talking points affect my decision based on what is the right thing to do. The nasty Trump base can turn up or not turn up. Not of any concern to me. What I AM concerned about is getting out the vote for the DEMs and independents, both of whom are polling as highly disapproving of the current adiministration. So, this worry about republican turnout is moot, IMHO.
- We will more than likely have a conservative on the court no matter what, but Kavanaugh is the fix for Trump. I've been saying this over and over again (and I'm not alone in this assertion), but it seems to be falling on deaf ears for those who think he's just not any worse than any other conservative judge. Kavanaugh will protect Trump and there are many ways he can do it. And he's said he won't recuse himself from the Mueller investigation. So, if the end game is get control back in the hands of the dems, great. But if Trump remains, the institutions will continue to be under attack and, I believe, eventually be destroyed. And Trump could, in fact, walk away utterly untouched by justice. Kavanaugh is that horrific when you look at it from these terms. His debt was paid off for a reason by someone and he will be expected to provide payback.
- Impeaching a sitting SCJOTUS is damn near impossible. I find no solace in this line of thinking.
