On October 6, 2018, Judge Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed by the Senate as a US Supreme Court Justice despite the cloud of suspicion hanging over him concering his accusation of attempted rape, his dubious judicial record, and his repeated lying under oath about his rather checkered past. All but one Republican, Lisa Murkowski, voted in favor, and all but one Democrat, Joe Manchin, voted against his confirmation.
The Republicans are now gloating in their victory, of course, but that victory will soon prove temporary since the voters will remember in Novemeber. This very foolish move on the GOP's part will come back to haunt them in the form of the Blue Wave--scratch that, the Blue Tsunami--when the Democrats take back both houses of Congress by a landslide, and not a moment too soon either. And then Kavanaugh can finally be impeached for lying under oath (aka perjury), followed by Trump and his deplorable cronies (including Pence) as well.
What, you doubt that? Well, we can make it happen if we get out and VOTE on Novemeber 6, just one month from now and less than a week after Halloween. Hopefully our ever-shortening attention spans in the age of Facebook and Twitter will last that long.
"Remember, remember, the 6th of November."

If Democrats take back Congress in large enough numbers, then the Tobacco 21 Act will become law one day. A Blue Tsunami might mean that Democrats could have veto power over Trump on that bill. I'm a moderate Democrat myself because I know that liberals and progressives have a tendency to roll back the rights of young people.
ReplyDeleteAt the same time however, neoliberalism is worse so if that's the price to pay, then that's the price to pay.
