Kavanaugh has to be the heavy favorite

I’m moving to Amsterdam. Or Australia. Maybe Aruba. Somewhere cool that starts with an A

Of course. Makes the senate that much harder to win now because they will all get to talk about the supreme court and Manchin and his ilk will have to placate whatever conspiracy theorist whack job Trump nominates

Republicans are ok with this. Families being separated. Tariffs destroying their constituents. None of it matters.

What options do Dems have? Was told them not pulling out all the stops for Gorsuch would be helpful if this scenario arose. Think JH even said that.

Pretty sure that was all a lie though.

They have no options and will roll over accordingly

He already did that for Gorsuch I don’t know if he has to do it again.

One slight positive (if you can call it that) is if it’s prior to the midterms it won’t motivate the conservative base as much as it did in 2016 with an open seat. Who knows whole thing is fucked.

i need to take the rest of the day off to regroup but I have a conference call at 7pm that is going to be hell

this all sucks

i am an idiot. you are correct slugs.

So Erdogan is President for life now?

Optimistically, gorsuch is going, but he looks terrible.
