31. HAHA
sure its uphill. But the American people like those who are willing to fight a losing fight for the principle of the matter.
Cyrano said, "I have never needed the hope of victory to spur me on to fight!"
So yeah, valid concern -but if public pressure is enough -and we can dig up some weird unsavory sounding stuff about the guy- we can get a few Moderate Repub Senators to come over I think, but no matter what, politically, the American people will respond positively to Dems standing on principles here -I think even a fillibuster. Let's watch the polls and see......

This Roberts is far far far Right. We should stand on principle and fight him.
I think he is goofy looking and the American people will instinctually want to reject him, we just need to give them good reasons, like he is a RW soldier, he will try to overturn Roe v. Wade etc etc etc.
and no, you are not a freeper in my mind, this is an important question.
I think we can win this one, mostly because I don't think this guy is as likable as people say, and given some time, we can frame him as a total born-again nut.
