    After they voted for Citizens United the supreme court doesn't really care about democracy.

    Bull. McConnell knew what he was doing. I got to give him credit. He owned the democrats.

    "frat bro"? Turtle? Kav-bro?

    Very shallow insults. I know you're upset about 30 years of a conservative judge, but let's be mature here and not simply hurl insults.

    This is a GREAT DAY for honest, hard-working, patriotic Americans whose focus is on improving the quality of life for ALL AMERICANS. Brett Kavanaugh is an extremely qualified judge and a brilliant thinker who will be an outstanding addition to the Supreme Court!

    And today is also a victory for DUE PROCESS, RULE OF LAW, and PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE. The liberals have no moral conscience if they are willing to fling vicious allegations which are 100% unsubstantiated and uncorroborated at a good man like Kavanaugh. Good for AMERICA that Republicans stood up against this INJUSTICE.

    Welcome to your LIFETIME APPOINTMENT, BRETT KAVANAUGH! You earned it.


    GREAT DAY

    whats bull? Collins obviously wasn't buying avanetti's gang rape story. That absurd outlandish story didn't help Ford's already baseless claim.

    Probably true, in the majority anyway. And Kav is a great pick for further strengthening of pure oligarchy.

    Here comes the wingnut victory lap.

    You guys could have any right wing federalist nominee, but you chose to and you continue to champion Brett Kavanaugh of all the judges in the us court system to choose from for the only purpose of sticking it to libs, and the #metoo movement you guys despise because of your insecurity and mysoginistic views of women.

    That’s on you guys. Laugh it up and “own the libs” on the Internet today all you want, but Brett Kavanaugh is now your and Trumps problem. Have fun defending this guy over the next 2 or 3 decades when God knows what comes out about him.

    He’s your problem. Not mine. Enjoy.

    These people act like the GOP will be in power forever.

    I hope they remember all these things they shove through, when the pendulum swings and the Democrats do the same, I don't want to hear any whining about a failure to compromise. No more compromising now, that's what the GOP has told many of its liberal citizens since Obama took office. We get the message, loud and clear.

    There was no evidence that Kav did anything wrong.

    But don't let that stop your pity party!

    Aw man, let them soak it up and enjoy it. Sure, it's at everyone else's expense, but here's probably any one of the "show ignored content" crew on a normal day, if they don't 'own the libs':

    Today is a better day for them.

    Maybe, but two years is a long time.

    Manchin voted yes to help his senate chances (he likely keeps his seat).

    They could certainly be in power with the power they have now to grab more power. Where does it end when you have one party in complete control with consciousness or patriotic compass?

    Power is intoxicating, and the Republican Party is as drunk on their power as Kavanaugh was doing the Devil’s Triangle back in the 80’s. We could be headed into a very dark period of civil unrest in this country and the sad part is half of the country think this move toward oligarchy totalitarianism is good because their team is winning.

    Republicans are Autocrats. Just no other way of looking at it. They want more power and I don’t think they are stopping. If anything the Kavanaugh confirmation is the green light to take this thing into over drive.

    Voter laws, and gerrymandering rulings are going to be put front in center. I’ll put all my money on that bet.

    The big question is, if Democrats do ever gain actual power again, do they have any choice but to take the gloves off and never again even try to play nice & bipartisan? Do they even have an option now?

    Congrats to the "Supreme" Gentleman Brett K.

    Hopefully the nation can begin to heal despite polarized views on Kavanaugh:

    whats been shoved through? Kavanaugh was vetted longer than almost all supreme court nominees. The left got their extra hearing with Ford/Kavanaugh and they got the extra fbi background check they wanted. Wasn't shoved.

    Drunk on power? What power have they wielded? Tax cuts?

    The last two years have been very disappointing

    Well it looks like another theft by the right.

    Our government has ceased functioning as representation of the will of it's people.

    Its only a matter of time before the violence begins.

    And I’m sure you think Trump didn’t brag about Sexual Assault on tape and it was a fake voiceover, Obama was certainly born in Kenya, and George Soros sends me monthly checks as part of a pro communist secret society effort.

    You live in your own little sad fantasy world as long as you want to bubba.
