Are you counting the Dubya ones?
i donāt really see what democrats/liberals can do. I guess those precious moderate republicans can put pressure on senators in swinging states but obv they are happy sheās dead and want to replace her asap. What is our leverage here? Calling the senators and saying you wonāt vote for him? He knows that.
If Romney isnāt even a starting point, itās completely hopeless. the right move is to pressure Democrats to gerrymander every inch of the country and hope for something good to happen in 20 years.
But Iām more inclined to ask, what are we willing to give of ourselves to make sure this doesnāt happen? Are you willing to go to a protest where some people might be killed by radical right wingers or the presidentās henchman? Are you willing to get arrested for having a sit-in on the floor of the Senate?
If enough people say yes to those questions, and back their words up with actions, they will not be able to get this done. As much as people here say, āThis is just for fun, what we do/say here doesnāt matter in the real world,ā I couldnāt disagree more. Weāre some of the most engaged types of people in this country, some of the most informed, some of the most intelligent.
If we arenāt willing to do what it takes, who will be?

Iām seeing multiple journalists on twitter saying itās after Inauguration Day, but there is a fog of war, so who knows. I donāt really trust any of them to keep their promise anyway.

Call Republican Senators daily. I plan to tell mine (Toomey, PA, won by 1.7% in '16) to ask Senator Collins how her Kavanaugh vote worked out for her, and remind him that this is even worse, heās up for re-election in two years, and weāre not going to forget.

Put our bodies in the way, literally. Be willing to pay whatever price we have to pay to stop this, because if we donāt there will be hundreds of thousands of human lives lost as a result over the next two, four, 10 years.
If that doesnāt workā¦
That make the recent āriotsā look like a block party.
If āmoderateā Republicans gave a fuck they WOULDNT STILL BE FUCKING REPUBLICANS

Nobody is rioting over a Supreme Court seat. Most Americans have no conception of what it means.

First: Sheās an amazing human and there arenāt many people who have lived in the last hundred years who have positively impacted humanity more than her.
Second: I think they start the replacement process, but donāt have a vote until after the election. Mitch will want to make the election a referendum on the Supreme Court, he will then look to confirm whomever later in November.
Third: Scott Foster is blatantly rigging this game for the Lakers

Iām just telling you what might prevent it. Although Iām seeing a lot of people vowing to start protesting tomorrow on my feeds. Anyone thinking McTurtleface was ever arguing in faith is fucking stupid.
Itās not about āmoderateā itās about being in a state where they can lose. They have very few principles, they care about themselves.
Susan Collins won by 37% six years ago. Sheās about to lose by double digits. Pat Toomey is a right wing nut, but heās facing election in Pennsylvania in two years and won last time by 1.7%. Does he wanna fuck around and find out?
the moderate republicans are still all in on conservative justices because abortion.
Look, i applaud @anon38180840ās fire, and I agree itās time to fight, but we will have a 6-3 court going into inauguration day. Itās done. Our only chance now is to win the senate and badger the fuck out of them to get rid of the filibuster and pack the court.
Itās the longest of long shots, but itās all we got.
Also, donāt give any money to Amy McGrath, please.

I was about 99% when I read it. With a bit of effort you could make it much tougher.
iām all for all of it, but none of the you wrote will stop the republicans if Mitt Romney spokesperson is already on the #fakenews train. that fight is clearly dead on arrival.
WAAF but also donāt be a lil bitch and lets go out swinging king.
