Time to watch more of my country's famous checks and balances crumble. I have little faith a majority will try and stop this guy.

Shouldn't even be having this discussion.

Fuck Mitch McConnell into the ground.

Gotta cram that nominee through before the election, or even before people can review his writings, eh McConnell?

Funny how important prompt filling of a seat is when it's your party that makes the pick.

I'm sure we'll hear very strong words from Pelosi and Schumer, but then nothing will happen that won't benefit the GOP.

Why are Democrats calling for adjourn when they know they will lose the vote? 11 GOP vs 10 Dems.

It's all a show.

He's 100% confirmed.

Hate to say it, but this is right. If they had a path to flipping two Republicans to stop it, they'd be keeping their heads down, as polite as possible to keep from alienating them. Going hard means they're more interested now in showing the base that they fought than actually winning. Which, hey, if Collins and Murkowski are that committed to holding the party line, then fuck it, might as well make as much noise as possible.

Remember, as you're watching this play out:

You feel powerless and despondent because that's what the Republican Party wants you to feel, just as they handicap and starve education because they want you and your children to be stupid— all so that you are easier to control. It is so important not to lose all hope and abandon attempts to make this country better.

100,000 pages sealed from the public. Not even congress gets a view of them.

Fucking shameful.

Y'all keep blaming McConnell for manufacturing this.

I keep blaming the Bernie and Obama supporters who couldn't hold their noses and vote for Clinton. It was bigger than you guys, you were blind, and you blew it. Say what you want about the racist GOP but they were smart enough to rally behind their piece of shit. Now they get two justices.

I hope the Libertarians realize this guy wants to give even more power to the President by removing key oversight from Congress and the Supreme Court, stating that sitting Presidents should be exempt from indictments and prosecution and going as far to say the hiring of a special counsel for Nixon was wrong.
They won't

This guy is getting a lifelong judicial appointment for no other reason than to be Trump's insurance against being indicted or subpoenaed while in office.

It's fucking insane.

Well, lets hope RBG stay healthy and hold the fort.

McConnell didn't really want this. But he knows the judiciary committee will take the brunt of it.

EDIT: You can tell because Cornyn has to come up with his own talking points, like "mob rule".

Come on son Clinton won the popular vote but ignored key Battle ground states. This is 10% on her and 90% on the unintelligent electorate that voted for Trump.
