Yes, I know we do not do polls here, but let's post what day you think the Judge gets confirmed by the Senate.
Mine is Friday October 5th.
You can add your guess, but please do not clog up the thread with "never happening" rants. We have more than enough debbie downer threads here already.

For the naysayers you could always say "never", but I think that is incorrrect.

"debbie downer "....huh...? What is a DD? A character on SNL who is, well, a Debbie Downer. An Eyeore. A wet blanket. A vocal pessimist.

"debbie downer "....huh...? What is a DD? As far as that kind of poll...I can think of many other more interesting ones....How about if folks here feel that Kavanaugh is a good candidate or not for a position on SCOTUS...?

She just recently played Senator Klobluchar this past weekend.

This would be another thread simply documenting how overwhelming left and liberal this board is.

Oh I agree with u...no matter what those who moderate us here say I do believe this board / forum definitely leans more left then right...especially those who are active and post. For those who prefer to stay on the side lines and basically just observe and read..I have no clue where they stand politically. So what are u complaining about...? By your own free will u have decided to be a participant here knowing how the active players play..and your complaining? Your suggesting moderators keep count and don't allow one who leans left not to post till one who leans right has had their say? So what the F do u want to make u happy friend...we are listening?

Well, if you like bad judges, who can't keep themselves in control ... perhaps that's all this thread will document. I'm not a fan of people in real life "who start at 11 and take it to 15 real quick". I'd be deeply concerned no matter what their political persuasion is. On the other hand, I have noticed some conservatives have very different rules depending on whether the person under discussion is perceived conservative or perceived other.
Even to want a lifetime appointment of a nut job is worrying. Really, you think proceeding with crazy man will do anything but confirm many conservatives are nut jobs themselves devoid of dignity and a moral compass? There are other judges, picking one of them would show something positive. And Kavanaugh can consider moving his acting skills into soap operas.

We definately know it isn't Garland. Though he should already be on the SCOTUS bench. There always is impeachment in Kavanaugh's future.

Looks like you hit it. I like Saturday. It keeps democratic Senators busy rather than 48 of them in front of 48 separate television cameras all day making stuff up. At least in the Senate they can only talk one at a time

Well this is a turn of events for some Senators. Seems a few are crying they have to stay in town late into Saturday, maybe far into the evening, and will be stopping them from doing things. Like political rallies.......

I think he will be confirmed over the weekend and he will start prioritizing corporate America over people bright and early Monday morning.

He has to have a day to be fitted for the robe. Then he can start on his agenda that everyone says he has. Wanna bet conservatives will be complaining by mid spring he is too liberal for the position and he was a huge mistake to be appointed, and the liberals will be falling over themselves praising his votes?

He is who we think he is.
