It's just unfathomable to me, the hubris of these people. That they are charging ahead, not

withdrawing his nomination, and HE not withdrawing himself! I am just dumbfounded that they think ANY of this is a good idea. They are desperate to get him on the court. WHY????? Whatever their reason is, it's not good, and he MUST be prevented from being seated. Fucking, Goddamn criminals, every last one of them.

Evil is afoot.

Period. End of reasons.

Why? Because they are all of them - McConnell, Graham, Ryan et al - unindicted coconspirators in asking the Russians to help tRump and THEM in the 2016 election.

NEVER admit an error. Never back down.

Repigs can vote him down, but it's up to tRump or Kavanoooooooooooooooo to pull him out.

chance at stacking the court for the foreseeable future. There's a very real possibility that the GOP will lose control of both houses of Congress, which means their little plot to fix not only Dotard's mess but their own will blow up in their faces if they don't confirm somebody before January 2019. They're that desperate. That's why they're plowing ahead. Heck, it worked for Clarence Thomas, why not Brett Kavanaugh?
