Even if BK is confirmed, it's not all doom.

For all the talk about Kennedy being a moderate swing vote, i think he was a reliable right wing vote. While he voted with the left a few times, he voted with the right the majority. This is not a huge swing to the right.

Now, Clarence Thomas is 70. It’s possible he’ll be replaced by the next president. We must win in 2020. Samuel Alito is not far behind at age 68. There’s no guarantee he lasts much longer either.

RBG is an outlier with great genes. We must either win the Senate in 40’days and the WH in 2020, or hope she survives until 2021 and we win in 2020. Either way 2020 is our LAST CHANCE TO have any hope to shift the court.

6. Do you think Kavanaugh would vote Kennedy's way on Obergefell?

My one hope is that Justice Roberts becomes more moderate, knowing this guy and his obvious partisanship will taint his court's legacy on some of the more egregious cases this court is going to get for the next few years.

If we don't annihilate them this November, it is over. As we can all see, the repubs are completely out of control and pretty much lawless thugs.

GOTV, take back the White House and Congress, and expand the court.
