This is the best they have which is why the Republicans control more governorships, Republican state congresses, conservative supreme court, Republican Congress, Republican U.S Senate and the presidency. Maybe if you guys stepped away from this stupidity for a few you'd win a few more elections. It was sarcasm. It's scary that we can post the most asinine things and it be totally believable that liberals would legitimately think that way. Edited October 6, 2018 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall 1

To remove it would be to allow the urban coastal population to dominate the rural population. That would be truly disastrous. The Constitution designs a system of government that specifically curbs authority. That includes the authority of the people, and there is good reason for that: the Founding Fathers had a sound classical education, and thoroughly understood the problems with pure participative democracy, as it was practiced in classical Athens and led to chaos and the ultimate downfall of that city. Don't take my word for it, read Thucydides. The EC isn't the problem. The people who don't understand that their Congressman represents them and not the President are the problem, as they scream for imperial executive powers and forget that curbs on powers - which they don't vote for, as they don't vote for representation - exist for a very good reason. Won't happen. If they vote to confirm they will be put up against the wall and shot. And I mean that literally. That vote will cause violence. The liberals only see things through the lense of a socialist or communist state where the head of government controls the government. Any parliamentary body is just for show and is impotent in terms of creating or installing policy.

Yes, IMO, for a number of reasons, to include: (1) When you have the opportunity to fill a position on the Supreme Court, you do it (2) This may have been an all time low in regard to behavior by Democrats on the confirmation committee. It was important to not legitimize that behavior. (3) The fundamental principles of due process and the presumption of innocence are always worth fighting for (4) The need to fight against the hijacking of legitimate sexual assault issues by radical ideologs. 3

If anything, there is greater incentive and passion to keep the Senate GOP. 1
Buffalo_Gal Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 This gives new meaning to the term ❄️ Mark Zuckerberg held a meeting to try and calm Facebook employee outrage after an exec attended the Kavanaugh hearing (FB) Facebook has been battling an employee revolt after a senior exec, Joel Kaplan, attended the Brett Kavanaugh Senate hearing in support of the US Supreme Court nominee. On Friday, the company held an internal "town hall" meeting with employees to discuss the issue, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg in attendance. Zuckerberg reportedly talked about the importance of supporting diverse viewpoints at Facebook. Facebook has held a company "town hall" meeting with employees to try and quell outrage after a senior executive attended the recent Senate hearing of US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Even if the Senate flips in 2018 there is a good chance of flipping back over the next several years. SC justices are for a much longer haul. I still think that the underhanded measures taken during the nomination process have as much chance to motivate Republicans as having Kavanaugh on the bench energizing Democrats. 1
