Thoughts?

Glad or sad?

I'm not really a fan, but I am glad we'll have another Conservative on the Supreme Court.

I think it's a good thing.

They don't vote until tomorrow I just read a lengthy article saying it looks like he probably will be, but no vote until tomorrow. I don't see where that says he's confirmed.

They are saying it’s pretty much a done deal with Pence as the tie-breaker.

I WOULD be glad, but I'm concerned about all these assurances he's given Susan Collins about accepting Roe v. Wade as "settled" law that he would not support over turning. If he's lying just to get her vote, then that disqualifies him in my eyes. If he's telling the truth, then I'm sad for our continued slaughter of the innocents. I'd love it if just one nominee to the SCOTUS would say, "Look, if that issue comes up, I'll be voting to uphold the life of the child being killed. Take it or leave it!"

Kavanaugh is confirmed: Senate Oks Supreme Court nominee

WASHINGTON (AP) — The bitterly polarized U.S. Senate narrowly confirmed Brett Kavanaugh on Saturday to join the Supreme Court, delivering an election-season triumph to President Donald Trump that could swing the court rightward for a generation after a battle that rubbed raw the country’s cultural, gender and political divides.

The near party-line vote was 50-48, capping a fight that seized the national conversation after claims emerged that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted women three decades ago — which he emphatically denied. Those claims magnified the clash from a routine Supreme Court struggle over judicial ideology into an angrier, more complex jumble of questions about victims’ rights, the presumption of innocence and personal attacks on nominees.
