35. This is very heartening for me...

to see men come forward and stand up for women. There are so many men here on DU that have spoken so eloquently on behalf of women and that has given me hope too. I am an older woman now and any decisions made in the near future by a Supreme Court that is NOT impartial, will not affect me. But having said that, I still fight for those principles that I have always held to be my truth. There are just some things that I will not compromise on and being truthful is at the top of my list. The fact that a prospective judge lies under oath is enough to show me that he has no business being on any court.

Trump and Kavanaugh are both liars and reprehensible men. There is no doubt about it. How any female Senator can rationalize supporting the two of them is beyond me.

Fuck Susan Collins for not having a moral compass and for selling out. She is a disgrace.
