A variety of sources cited on Lucianne.com are saying the Republicans have the votes in the Judiciary Committee to send the Kavanaugh nomination to the entire Senate. There, it is further alleged, they also have the votes to do what Mitch McConnell said they’d do: confirm him to a seat on the high court. We should know by early next week if it plays out as predicted.
Expect loud lamentations and much gnashing of teeth when it occurs, if it occurs. Hyperbole will fly thick and fast, many oaths to emigrate to get away from the dreadful conditions predicted to ensue as a result will be sworn, insincerely.
Essentially none of those so swearing will in fact act upon their sworn oaths. We’ve been down this rutted road before. If even ten percent of those who promised to leave when Trump became President had done so, this would be a better country than it is today.
In fact, I expect a conservative majority on SCOTUS to do little to reverse the damage already done. The best we can hope for is if they slow down the drift to the loony left which has been, in my lifetime, seemingly inexorable. Social conservatives will have to settle for that half measure, I fear.
