And if I were a Republican I'd be f#cking furious about the emerging Kavanaugh problem. I try to be a pretty rational guy, but I'd still be fuming. Because there it is in Kavanaugh -- the personification of the decades' long drive to solidify a right wing majority for at least a generation. And right on cue here are the evil Democrats to steal my precious. If I were one of you guys, I'd be steamed about this.
But I hope that if I were one of you, I'd remember that there's a whole long Federalist Society list of right wing judges, many of whom will not at any point in their lives ever be accused of sexual assault. Right wingers Trump would happily appoint and Senate Republicans would happily confirm. Perhaps another from the Federalist Society list wouldn't be the most unpopular choice in polling history, like Kavanaugh is now.
Meanwhile, maybe when we're facing a blue wave wearing a pussy hat isn't the best time to cement the perception among American women that Republicans are a bunch of retrograde assholes. So this entire debate has emerged on the worst possible grounds at the worst possible time. Maybe there are better fights to pick. Tax Cuts? Hello? Tax cuts? (Or maybe not.)
But then again, I'm a liberal, so there's no reason for Republicans to take my advice. Have fun storming the castle.
