Every single poll has moved in the R's direction and decisively. Heidkamp is down double digits Heller who had been losing every single poll in Nevada is now up in the last 2 polls. McSally up 6 in the last poll over Sinema in Arizona Cruz now up 9 and pulling away from Beto in Tx. Marshburn up 8 in TN. Even other Democrats who were favored to win and most likely still will are having their leads cut in margin. It's clear that at this moment, R's have definitely galvanized their support. Heck even Fox news viewership has absolutely demolished MSNBC and CNN since Kavanaugh. This was a huge miscalculation by the Dems. At least so it appears at the moment 4 hours ago, Koko78 said: The interesting thing is to see whether or not they can keep that enthusiasm up for the next 3.5 weeks. I agree that the net result of the Kavanaugh matter has the potential of backfiring on the Democrats, but voter sentiment has a short shelf life. Those pissed of Republicans need to show up at the right place on the right day to make those numbers actually mean something. It is easy to be pissed off when you're standing in your kitchen answering poll questions.

Doc Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 2 hours ago, B-Man said: Justice Brett Kavanaugh isn't letting his first week on the High Court throw him off his routine, not when it comes to charity, anyway. The newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice slipped on a ball cap and rubber gloves to dish out meals to the homeless Wednesday in Washington, D.C. Kavanaugh was working with Catholic Charities to help feed people in need. Cynics might see this is as a blatant attempt at image repair after the nightmare of his confirmation hearing, but the truth is ... this appears to be a regular thing for him. The Justice was also seen serving up grub to the homeless back in July with the same organization. Did they let him serve young girls? 1

They did, but the girls did not know when or where he served them, what they had for lunch, or how they got home afterwards. The people who, the girls claimed, were in attendance at the unspecified place, date, and time could not corroborate their stories. Kavanaugh continues to be unfit for lunch serving duties.

bdutton Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Quote While the Republican leadership celebrates the seating of Brett Kavanaugh as a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Chief Justice Roberts yesterday requested the Tenth Circuit to review more than twelve ethics complaints that have been made against Kavanaugh. The complaints concern Kavanaugh’s behavior at the Senate Judiciary Committee on September 27. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2018/10/11/chief-justice-roberts-requests-tenth-circuit-to-investigate-kavanaugh-ethics-questions/#64c501441877 Think this goes anywhere?

Hahahahahahaha.......................no, it will go nowhere, because it is nothing . Saw this a week ago. They're all complaints having nothing to do with Kavanaugh's actions in district court, brought by people with no standing to bring them, all since Ford was doxxed. They're less than nothing. They're basically petty harassment. 1
