    Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) will announce that he's seeking an injunction in federal court designed to stop a final vote on Brett Kavanaugh, asserting an obstruction of his constitutional duty to advise and consent on nomineeshttps://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/26/merkley-injunction-stop-kavanaugh-vote-843080 …

        Ma'am, there are certain questions called "political questions" that have to do with the separation of powers. Judicial confirmations are the sole responsibility of the Senate and the Courts don't get to weigh in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_question … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justiciability …

        Separation of Powers were thrown out the window the day Mitch McConnell stole Obama's right to fill a vacant SCOTUS seat. That day the United States Republic ceased to exist and the government has functioned as an illegal entity controlled by the Republican perpetrators of a coup

        I want to see which federal judge would sign an injunction like that against 1 of their peers & also hurting any shot they would have of ever being nominated to sit on the SCOTUS.

        No, this is an intentional check on Congressional power, built into the Constitution. You might want sources outside of Fox News and Alex Jones next time...

        No, it's not or the GOP could have gone to court when Harry Reid nuked the filibuster. You might want to read the Constitution and some case law, and stop drinking koolaid.

        It's Congress as a whole, not one guy who want to gum up the works. If that were the case nobody would ever get confirmed for anything.

        This entire process is an affront to TRUTH and DEMOCRACY. Corroborating witnesses are being IGNORED and SILENCED. Teenage girls everywhere are being told that “TEEN RAPE DOESN’T COUNT”. The GOP is officially a fascist party now.
