(6,178 posts)has already been vetted by the Federalist Society. Which if they past muster there they are already known to be extreme right wing jurist. Who will roll back years of SCOTUS precedence without blinking an eye. Kiss Roe v Wade goodbye. Women rights goodbye! LBGT rights goodbye.
Trump is just a errand boy. He will do as he is told. No republican member of Congress will need to ask this nominee were they stand on these issues. As for the Democrats their questions will be ignored or they will be given stock answers like "I can't answer that because it is possibly an issue that will come before the SCOTUS"
The country has been duped and the best I can say is it all happened with the Democrats looking on. Not one once of real push back just "civil" compliance. How in the hell could they let McConnell STEAL the Obama/Garland seat without burning the place down with outrage. We are now facing decades of right wing SCOTUS decisions.
I have closed the email account that gets the daily solicitations for support (give us money). I have cancelled every automatic monthly donation. And finally closed the credit card account that covered the donations.
I will no longer be part of this charade. Nearly 60 voting years of thinking we the Dems will get our act together. The only real glimmer of hope IMO was when Howard Dean was DNC Chairman and want a 50 state plan to build a stronger party with a firm agenda that could elect progressive democrats everywhere.
