Your team pulled a Kavanagh and the people punished them with losing seats they should have won. I was hoping they would try it again. Pelosi may be senile put the people who run her are smart. Schumer was desperate enough to try Kavanaughing once... but saw that the majority was ripped out of his hands... and learned. He is not dumb. The blame for your team properly falls at the feet of only one person. And she is no longer alive.
Imo, The Dems did not delay the confirmation because doing so may have caused Rep. voters that were willing to vote against Trump, to change their minds in order to ensure the completion of the confirmation. Even those these particular Reps. can't stand Trump, they wouldn't be willing to chance not getting another con Justice appointed. The Dems. believe that another four years of Trump would be worse than the lifetime appointment of Barrett. The vlogger didn't even mention this possibility, but it's the only tactic that makes sense, imo.
here4dnc... you are off the deep end. nothing outside your approved group think gets through... everybody with a brain knows schumer and feinstein screwed up... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...avanaugh-effect-midterm-elections/1915457002/ ... Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly lost to Republican Mike Braun. North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp lost to Republican Kevin Cramer. Florida Sen. Bill Nelson's race was called for Republican Rick Scott, but the final result will likely wait on a mandatory recount. Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill lost to Republican Josh Hawley. "These senators paid the ultimate political price for their vote," said Thad Kousser, a political science professor at the University of California San Diego. ABC News reported 47 percent of voters in exit polling said Heitkamp’s vote against Kavanaugh was a major factor in how they voted. "The people who stood up to great political peril for Christine Blasey Ford ended up facing their punishment and now, they won't be there to stand up for those issues again in the Senate," he said. Kousser also pointed to polls showing support for Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, dipped after her performance during the Kavanaugh hearings. "It's hard to find any other explanation besides Kavanaugh," Kousser said.

A McConnell spokesperson confirmed to CBS News that the Kentucky Republican supports President Biden's pick to lead the Justice Department. Politico first reported his decision on Tuesday. McConnell has described his decision to block Garland's nomination as the "most consequential thing I've ever done." The Senate later confirmed Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the court days before the 2020 election.
