Supreme Court vacancy

So you aren't a Republican, in the party-line sense, or policy sense. So I ask, knowing no straightforward answer will be given, In what sense do you see yourself as a Republican?

(You ought to learn to correctly self-identify).

As for the pick, the 4 nominees suggested are clearly as capable as Garland, the only reason Garland's name is in the mix is because Republicans (before Trump, and who you have tried to claim you are one) held up his nomination in a tactic I felt was wrong.

The new nominee is going to very likely come from the list of 4 that I listed, and he/she likely will have broad Republican support.

Yeh , I am , I will admit to not being in a cult like you and Chico though.

But again, The decision to block Garland's nomination was pre Trump, and even as a member of the "Trump cult" I have said it was bad policy by the Republicans.

The list of these 4 potential nominees is from a conservative think tank and will have near unanimous Republican support.

I only care what you call yourself to the extent that I am amazed that you think you are a Republican.

........the trump cult,"fixed for reality"

The mud will go deep and it's already starting. This is going to be a nasty process which is why I think Trump ultimately picked someone familiar with the sausage grinder that the confirmation process will be.

Get ready for some serious scare-mongering and demagoguery from the left. Ultimately, I think it will backfire on them IF Kavanaugh is honest, reasonable and circumspect in his answers. From what I have read, he will be just that.

... and, as a practical matter, because is his a reasonable and qualified jurist, I do not think that the key Republican senators will vote against him. I find it likely that certain key Democrats will be sorely tested to vote against him.

These are the games that are played when you steal a seat. It’s all for show, he’ll get through.

Not entirely disagreeing. When the Republicans did it, it was wrong and contrary to the Constitutional intent. I have no doubt, however, a sizable faction of those yelling that the Republicans "stole a seat" would have had no problem doing the same if the positions had been reversed. It's the politics of a divided nation.

... and, yes, he'll get through. How fast he does so and the ramifications of that time-line will have a significant impact on the mid-terms. Personally, I believe that any significant delay that doesn't ultimately postpone the appointment until after the election is likely to harm Dems more than Republicans. Particularly, if Kavanaugh doesn't give any sound bites (which, again, I doubt he will).

The major fear mongering card the Dems have attempted to play is Roe vs Wade overturned. They have effectively fund raised off this garbage.

The big fucking problem is this...Kavanaugh has already passed the test with previous confirmation hearings: Kavanaugh has said that he believes Roe V. Wade is "binding precedent of the court" and would follow such a ruling and not move to undo the landmark abortion case.

Anything reporting something other than that is simply fake news...the media or Dems.
