      A right leaning SCOTUS lasts as long as Clarence Thomas does provided RBG and Breyer get replaced by Dems post-Chump. As Thomas is currently 70 years old I'd give him 10 years give or take as justices usually call it a career or get the call from above around that point.

      Regarding the "we could get someone worse" argument, it seems to me you're saying we should allow a confirmation of someone who wants to take us back to The Dark Ages because otherwise we might get someone who wants to take us back to The Stone Age. Umm...okay I guess, but at that point is there really that much of a difference?

        We'd better keep them on a steady drip of Youth Serum at this point, because neither of them is getting any younger.

          A) Not gonna happen.

          B) what makes you think they'd be any worse substantively than Kavanaugh?

            This is the cover Collins needs

            The nomination gets derailed, and best case for her withdrawn. Then she doesn’t have to defend a yes vote to pro-choice Mainers (at least 2/3rds of the state) and she doesn’t have to defend a no vote to the Republican base.

            I bet she is hoping he gets withdrawn

              Probably but then the same thing will likely happen with whoever the next nominee is.

                Doubt RGB makes it through two terms of trump. And I won’t be surprised if the Dems **** this up.

                    Calgary Ted's a bit more worried about his Senate race at the moment. The fact that Beto is within 3-5 pts. in Tex-ass is pretty crazy.

                      By then it will be next year everything will be different. Right now everyone is charged up because of the midterm elections but next year there isn't much to worry about. By the time she is up in 2020 people will forget.

                        So far her side is credible, his is not. Listened to news all morning while I traveled. I haven't changed my mind.

                          Sounds like a hearing next Monday. Both Kavanaugh and Ford will testify.

                            People are much smarter than that. They can tell that this is a desperate delay tactic by the democrats. They're being called on their bluff, and we'll see if this Clinton donor ( https://thepoliticalinsider.com/kava...emocrat-donor/ ) actually goes under oath this week. From my vantage point, it's a rinse and repeat of the Alabama special Senate race from last year, and the people of this nation are not stupid. As to your second statement, if I were you, I'd be putting my money on that statement, because as far as I can tell, the people of this country are very much wise enough to smell a rat.

                              Kavanaugh will be repeat his vehement denials. He'll be defiant in the defense of his reputation. Supporters will find him credible. Opponents will find him not credible. "Good cop, bad cop" will be played with Ford. Kavanaugh supporters will find holes in her story. Kavanaugh opponents will describe her as brave and completely credible.

                              Does the one witness to the alleged attack (who supposedly has denied it, but seems to be a slimeball himself) testify? That would be the only part not completely predictable, and probably interesting.
                              That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                                Yeah, that's all fine but I look at it this way which is nothing to do with party.

                                1. Does she have anything to gain by coming forward? No.
                                2. Does she have anything to gain by lying? No.
