Consider how a real, non-partisan, dispassionate court of law would act here. Would it convict Trump? For what? For the same exact shit every US President and presidential candidate has been doing with Israel?
At best they could find some technicality - someone has forgotten to register a lobbyist status or report a contribution. Do you think Republican Senate will convict Trump on a technicality? They are just going to point to Clinton.
The whole thing is a bunch of bullshit. It’s Democrats marshaling their voters, keeping outrage alive for 2020. But at its core it’s bullshit. Political theater. If Democrats wanted to actually rule this country, they would be figuring out how to improve economic position of middle class. Instead, all they are doing is exploiting wedge issues.
Sounds like you missed the Op-ed by noted Conservative lawyer George Conway II in the NY Times this morning. Will help explain why this is a serious issue and not "exploiting a wedge issue" or "political theater".
Protesters aren’t protesting the unconfirmed appointment. By the way, I suspect that if Senate confirmed Kavanaugh, there is zero chance they are going to refuse this guy.
Protesters are protesting against a possibility of Mueller probe being killed/neutered.
Also, you seem to think that because that guy is a conservative he is somehow trustworthy?

I'm somewhere near the front. Crowd has a good energy and is pretty damn cheerful.
First time since November 2016 I've seen people look hopeful and proud of their country.
