    David Lat Retweeted Orin Kerr

    Excellent analysis, as usual, by @BenjaminWittes (via @OrinKerr) - and also why I think that public opinion polls about Judge Kavanaugh don't mean much for his #SCOTUS confirmation chances (because Republicans have the votes at day's end). #appellatetwitterhttps://twitter.com/OrinKerr/status/1029495829063655425 …

        Also, opinion polls are useless on topics the public knows nothing about.

        GOP wants to get rid of the last few women who belong to their diminishing Republican party with the Kavanaugh nominee for SCOTUS. Party of white supremacy & old white men & Russians! @LindseyGrahamSC @SenMajLdr @RandPaul @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @SenatorBurr

        Don't need to worry about public support when you can win elections with a minority of the vote 💁‍♂️

        They will also pick up at least two Dems and probably three so it's really moot from the get-go
