He had to for any chance of Republicans passing him. Trump right now can pass anyone he wants. The US population also wasnt as anti Obama as it is anti Trump, so Trump has more reason to do some pay back against Democrats.

Double Post.

Obama won the popular vote and electoral college by comfortable margins both times. Both of Obama's supreme court nominees were confirmed by at least 60 votes (talk about lowering the bar to 50). Obama had a third supreme court vacancy but Senate Republicans decided that it did not matter he was still president. They then changed the rules so they did not need bi-partisan support for their two nominees. How is it fair that Trump in less than 2 years has the same weight on the supreme court than Obama had in 8 years?

Sorry I quoted the wrong post before.

Life isnt fair.

Thanks for the wisdom. I know it is not fair. I just don't understand how people like you and others in this thread can be so dismissive of Democrats as if they are so lost and so far from the mainstream that it will be impossible for them to take power again any time soon. Democrats are the majority. Democrats have won the popular vote 6 of the last 7 presidential elections. The 51 senators that support Kavanaugh represent 143 Million Americans. The 49 senators that did not support Kavanaugh 182 Million Americans. This is minority rule. I won't argue that the system is broken and it needs to be fixed (even though it is and it should) because everybody knows the rules going in and they agree to it. But conservatives are deluding themselves if they think their hold will last or their marginal victories are sustainable.

Republican politicians are like small children that change the rules of the game when it's their turn so they win.

He starts on Tuesday. Now we'll move onto the next subject in the news. Supreme Court wont be a hot topic till RGB gives up/kicks the bucket, if Trump gets a second term,its likely he'll get another SC pick down the road.

Popular vote doesnt matter. Gerrymandering makes this a sustainable strategy, as well as voter suppression laws and other tactics. There's no reason to believe it wont work in the future as it has in the past. Democrats can keep hanging their hats on the popular votes while we win the elections.

You know you have no argument when you are reduced to arguing semantics.  It's time to move on.  He never perjured himself and no one is going to seriously pursue that angle legally.  Unless they want to lose all credibility.  It was just another lie to get the Dem base riled up. 

If anyone perjured themselves, it was Ford.  With her obvious lie about being afraid to fly and why/when the second door was put on her house.  The lie detector part may have been, but since it probably could never be proven, no point in focusing on it.

They will probably keep the senate but lose the house.

You're wrong not me.
