1. They are going to rush it through and make mistakes.

4. Agree. But "mistakes" on lifetime appointments are tough to fix. n/t

2. The only thing I am focused on right now is making republicans the minority party in the Senate

through call banking and donations

3. There's nothing we can do to affect the outcome, so how about this for a plan?

Dem Senators should just not show up at the hearings. Let the Republicans sit there in Washington for three days unopposed, kissing the nominee's ass. Make it extremely obvious that these hearings are an entirely partisan process.

Meanwhile, Dem Senators spend those days campaigning in their home states. Schedule event after event taking the issue "to the people" -- pointing out how Republican Senators who represent a clear minority of America are, in a completely partisan process, ramming through a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court in the middle of a presidential election.

Point to how they don't seem to have the time to help everyday Americans with COVID relief, but can spend three days in their comfy chairs in Washington sucking up to someone who will be a lock to vote to take away everybody's health care.

Ask the people if this is how want America's business to be conducted going forward, because if not, they should vote for a change.

5. Not much news there

It would be next to impossible to hold a hearing before October if Trump is announcing the pick on 9/26... and the hearings have to occur in October if there's going to be a vote before the election.

6. Precisely

7. What are the chances you can get 15 senators to stage one day fillibuaters

each. And then another 15 to do the same, postponing until election day? Or could the d ms take up peachment, send it to the Senate, then fillibuaters whatever time the Senate tries to devote towards the scotus and not the impeachment?
