Trump did it.

How, exactly, did he get Mitch and the others to go along?  Didn't even need Pence's vote.  Even got the cow ski to go along?  He didn't, publicly, push all that hard.  But he had to have done some back room brawling.  Absolutely no doubt about that.  Further, they believe he is going to win the election, or they simply wouldn't have switched sides.  Three or four republican senators are democrats in truth.  But, they... live in republican waters.  Easy access, but not often accessed.

No, it won't matter.  She, as stated, is a woman.  She isn't her own keeper, no woman is.  The question is, who is.  Her husband, her bishop, the pope?  How compromised is she, and to whom?  The third Trump installation, of four conservative judges installed of the last four.  And?  And very little change on the courts.  None of them are reliable.  Most of them are weakly constitutional, in truth.  I don't think it matters.

I hear she will be better than Ginsburg.  That's, really, a lot like saying Hitler was better than Stalin or Lenin even.  Yes, well... and it depends on whom.  Better for who?  If a Jew or gypsy or even Catholic, which was worse is dependent.  Hitler killed some Catholics, Lenin killed all of us he could find.  Both intended to murder all the Jews, but Stalin sold them at $10k a head, if many were just hardened criminals he wanted to be gone.  If you are a baby, will she matter?  With this pope, very possibly maybe not.

Something about excusing herself from decisions in which the pope has spoken?  Right.  Among other problems.  What hasn't this, or that, or some other, pope... specifically, religiously, or personally, expressed opinions regarding?  Well, and he just came out for gay civil unions.  What do you want to bet she won't be against those?

Better than Ginsburg?  Who to whom?

There is a chance, a hope.  If, usually, hope is for the forlorn.   So be it.  I am happy to see Trump got his nominee through.  I just wish he would have picked a good one.  Perhaps there are no good nominees at this point?  Then again, the liberal campaign against her was rather... pathetic.  I have some wonder that she is considered reasonable by them... not a good thing.  Or, they have her, one way or another.

Time will tell.  But this is just another judge Roberts, if I was to lay odds.  Her "kids" are the tell.
