Contrast: Ginsburg (96-3) in 1993. Breyer (87-9) in 1994. Sotomayor (68-31) in 2009. Kagan (63-37) in 2010. Who killed bipartisanship? Yes: Dems have let through GOP nominees (Kennedy for instance) but on condition they were complete cucks. GOP never did so against Dem nom.

So of the current 8 justices, 4 libs sailed through confirmation w/ bipartisan support, 3 cons were bitterly fought, and the other con (Roberts) was carefully chosen as cucky enough to pass w/o a big fight. (And he was cucky: remember he upheld Obamacare).

The point of this: yes, Kavanaugh is going to be a particularly close & partisan vote if he’s confirmed. But as I’ve shown, at least since Bork, that is the norm when GOP nominates a non-cuck to fill a spot. Dems always do this. Have for 30 years now. Don’t sweat it.
