    Mitch McConnell, the man who blocked Merrick Garland from getting onto the Supreme Court, says Democrats have a strategy of “delay, obstruct and resist.”

        It's interesting. I don't know how I feel about Judge Kavanaugh. I'm still waiting for more information. But my thoughts/feelings concerning many of the men on this committee have become crystal clear. They do not represent me.

        I’ve read enough to know that if he were applying for a job/promotion in my company, I would have to do more research, at the very least. But honestly, I’d likely go with another applicant without a history of blackout drinking. This isn’t a trial. It’s a job interview.

        Good point. I told my husband that I’m starting to think Judge #Kavanaugh may have a better character than some of the men on this committee. Each day that goes by I become more convinced.

        Not just with Merrick Garland! With everything that President Obama initiated and tried to put in place! It was @SenateMajLdr goal to obstruct and delay the Obama administration to make them fail!

        I have believed for years that when history looks back, Mitch McConnell will be seen as an active enemy of democracy. He's worse than Trump.

        It's gonna take us 10 years of hot showers protest washing our brains eyes and ears with soap to get the stench of Republicans off of us. God have mercy on us all.
