Kavanaugh support is underwater.

Fox News, which has polling on nominees starting with John Roberts in 2005, found Kavanaugh was the first to hit 50 percent opposition among registered voters. The second-most unpopular was President Donald Trump’s nominee Neil Gorsuch, who saw 39 percent opposition. NBC/Wall Street Journal polling, which also goes back to Roberts, put opposition to Kavanaugh at 38 percent in mid-September, compared with a previous high of 30 percent for Sonia Sotomayor. Support for Kavanaugh was at 34 percent — the first time in the NBC/Wall Street Journal polls’ history that a nominee was underwater.

More people do not want him than want him. But who are we, anyway?

Somebody big wants him there. He has been involved in everything bad the GOOPers have done since the 90's. He is being rewarded for something he knows. He will cover the orange one's crimes, but I think there is more he his hiding.

I think it has something to do with Smirky the Chimperor (GWB). He (and his girlfriend Kindasleazy Rice) have been busting their balls to get him in and hiding their paper trail. Smirky doesn't bust his balls anymore. He paints.

IMHO.

1. Kavanaugh is seen as a get-out-of-jail ticket for....

Many, many, many Republicrooks. There's no other explanation. I believe he has already promised this to them.

[SkipG]

17. At least for Fat Donnie, and...

what the capo di tutti capi wants, he gets from the sniveling GOP congresscritters.

[riversedge]

2. damn. #Kavanaugh is a complete #swamp RAT!!....

[MadDAsHell]

3. Not surprised a bit. Unfortunately, popularity has nothing to do with getting or staying on SCOTUS.

[wasupaloopa]

4. The majority is powerless. So many don't vote.

When they were attacking Hillary we warned them about the Supreme Court yet they didn’t care.

They get the government they deserve.

[eleny]

5. Hey, that means we work all the harder, right. freaking. now.

[wasupaloopa]

11. Yes, but we have to live with a conservative SCOTUS

while we are doing it.

[eleny]

13. Yeah, it's disgusting

But if we win the House there will be hearings. So we have to gotv. No other way. Giving up is not an option. I want them on the hot seat.

[wasupaloopa]

24. I am 72 and have not given up, not in the sixties and not now.

[eleny]

31. we're the same age

[saidsimplesimon]

15. I agree, eleny,

living in the past, "we warned you", does not help with GOTV efforts. Also, from my readings of DU members, not a single member failed to vote or voted for the mad man.

[wasupaloopa]

25. Those who fail to remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

Look forward but don't forget were we went wrong.

The "move on" meme is for fools.

[joshcryer]

26. Bush's crony judge appointments are why we are in this mess.

And instead of going "oh shit, our judicary is full of crony, Republican, immoral, unethical pieces of crap, we need to vote in Democrats to appoint good ones..." we get mixed up in rhetoric and lies.

[wasupaloopa]

29. You are not going to fix a conservative SCOTUS in the short term. We are going to live with it (in

my case) until most of us die. It's roots lie in what was done in prior years. They had the power, we didn't. Ignoring that fact will not change the future results of it.

We never have a long view. We always look toward the next election to fix the past. If we don't think we will get our immediate wants we just don't vote. They take the long view and always vote and get what they want.

The very fact that we have to convince ourselves it is important to vote is telling.

[joshcryer]

30. Only hope is expanding the SCOTUS to 11 seats or something.

Because in my lifetime we won't see a good SCOTUS.

I guess I'm off to Mars on the first rockets when they start flying.

At least there we'd have a chance to create a proper system that doesn't uphold the rights of powerful elites over the poor.

[In It to Win It]

28. It's a shame

It's a shame that it took the Garland nomination, Donald Trump and decades of cheating Republicans for Dem voters to realize that the SCOTUS is an issue that we need to take into consideration when casting our votes.

[bdamomma]

6. he's there

to kiss the ass of tRump and to overturn crimes being committed, it's a crime syndicate.

But in all of this Mr. Mueller is still working diligently.

[Wounded Bear]

9. OFFS...

Bernie Sanders was NOT our hero.

(because one wasn't enough)

[NurseJackie]

14. That poster is no longer with us.

[wasupaloopa]

12. That is one way of looking at it. Not my way

but one way.

Bernie was not a Dem so why should he need the DNC?

Bernie spent months attacking Hillary which helped elect trump by turning people against her during the general.

Enjoying the Bust?

If I had my way there would have been no Bernie at all thus no Kavanaugh at all.

[robbob]

16. You honestly think without Bernie Hillary would have won the election?

That is an unprovable argument, at best.

[wasupaloopa]

21. Yes I do. Without Bernie in the primary

many of the bullshit lies like “Wall Street”. “TPP” “War Monger” and so much more would not have been put in people’s minds.

If Bernie were not in the mix we would have President Clinton, universal health care liberal Supreme Court infrastructure spending and so much more

All he did was insert himself where he wasn’t needed IMHO

[Wounded Bear]

8. Welcome to apartheid...

[Achilleaze]

10. Torture (R) is evil

I'm just sayin...

[AmandaRuth]

18. my opinion: R's think baby boomers are just a drain on the economy

his rulings have already weakened age discrimination rules. Look for more of that, weakening of wage laws, discrimination laws, anything to flow that money upstairs. IMHO. The attention has been on his drunken abuser frat boy background and the normalization of rape culture, but more attention should be on his rulings. Total partisan hack and will be the go to boy for the ruling elite.

[jalan48]

19. It makes no difference. Within a few weeks a new event will take place that will

direct our outrage elsewhere and Kavanaugh will fade into the past.

[HipChick]

20. I don't have the emotion to wrap around outrage any more..

Tues I am doing my absentee in person voting...Wednesday, I start off in whatever new adventures the Universe has for me

[jalan48]

22. I feel the same way. I will vote and participate in protests against what is happening to our

country. Being in perpetual outrage mode has accomplished zero.

[Kaleva]

23. Polls don't matter much. Actual voting does.

[Beartracks]

27. Yes! Voting at one's polling place is the only poll that matters.

Sorry, folks, but social media "likes" aren't going to build the better world you want and deserve.
