re: #57 Big Beautiful Door

I’ll say this. Kavanaugh is going to be confirmed, whether Heitkamp votes for him or not. The Democrats have a one-in-three shot of winning control of the US Senate, which is remarkably good considering how bad the senatorial map is for the Democrats this year. If Heitkamp thinks she needs to vote for Kavanaugh, I’m not going to hold it against her, because hers will not be the deciding vote; that vote belongs to Kyl when he got appointed to the Senate.

Well, you’re left with 46 D and 2 I senators. Angus King and Bernie Sanders aren’t going to vote for him. That would leave flipping Murkowski and Collins. The fact that every R in the Senate is caterwauling about money being raised to finance opponents to them says quite a bit (they’re hypocrites, but they’re also not sure if those two will actually hold the GOP line).

Upthread I noted a ruling from Kavanaugh against disabled women, essentially affirming eugenics as a position.
