but I think as more comes out about this guy, the more unsavory he will look to the people of America in general.
yes, the logical point of view is that we would still have the 5-4.
However, we should try our best to turn this nomination into a fight over abortion anyways, it is a losing battle for the Repubs.
American loves an underdog fighting against the odds.
Maybe we can't stop the nomination -but maybe this is the place where Dems grow a pair in the eyes of the average American onlooker and fight upon principle.
I do think we have a chance to tear down this nomination,if we can convince the American people he is a bad choice.
but let me commend you all around on the comments about hyperbole. You are right.
