Kavanaugh is probably, sadly, getting through, though this has always been the case. We shouldn't give up on stopping him -- the guy is a hyper-partisan hack who was involved as a lawyer on many of the major political legal cases of the last 20 years, including the Starr report, Bush v.

Getting Republicans to vote against a Republican who isn't really a diehard Trump person, but instead a committed Republican party member? We should try, but how likely is that to succeed...
