This is a big deal! Public doesn't support Kavanaugh out of the gate. The more we talk to people about his dangerous record, the more Senators hear they have to vote NO. Remember, Harriet Miers was not confirmed. This is possible! Share and organize! #scotusnominee #roevswade https://t.co/lZ8Tm41Ida

Of course the Repubs are just a leeeetle bit busy at this point in time, what with trying to avoid getting further caught up in the exposure of their Dear Leaders’ foreign-affairs scandals. But never doubt they’re still working behind the scenes to put Brett ‘Dismemberment by Orca Is Just Another Job Risk’ Kavanaugh on the only SCOTUS we’ve got…
Brett Kavanaugh's father was a DC lobbyist who made $13 million in 2005 repping corporate interests. As a Supreme Court judge, Kavanaugh would "likely achieve for industry incomparably more than all his father’s years of lobbying"https://t.co/6zL1gI2TVK

Progressives are told they should get over the shameful treatment of #MerrickGarland. But conservatives have been reliving Robert Bork's defeat for 31 years. And unlike Garland, Bork got a hearing and a vote.

the problem with this argument is that Kavanaugh’s first act as a nominee was to tell a fawning, obvious lie in praise of Trump https://t.co/oeBJoWrRcU

This. I’m not a legal wonk, I’d never heard of Kavanaugh before last week. My introduction was him flat-out lying to please Trump. Not a good first impression. https://t.co/IYWzxQWjJ1

The "original intent" of the Constitution was to limit power to wealthy male land owners. It is thanks to those who understand it is a living document that we began to open up freedom to all Americans. So-called originalists like Kavanaugh seek to undo that.
