If Bush v. Gore didn't permanently tarnish members of the Court as political, hard to see how this will. https://t.co/ZMSpt1gjXz

Second base. Bush was third base. https://t.co/KIIGaDK4I0

Kavanaugh didn't say Clintons were behind it. He said it was an orchestrated stop-Kavanaugh campaign (would be odd if it wasn't) "fueled" in part by anger at Trump & desire for revenge "on behalf of the Clintons." Lots of people resent his role with Starr–not just the Clintons. https://t.co/jSBk3eehuf

Press coverage of these battles is typically insufficiently conspiracy-conscious. It's reassuring that Kavanaugh has a more realistic view. https://t.co/SVNjO6OIr6

In my experience, big battles in Washington usually *are* "calculated and orchestrated" conspiracies. The welfare battles of the 90s–orchestrated conspiracies. Immigration battles–orchestrated conspiracies. Not that there's anything wrong with it! It's rational to conspire. https://t.co/8X5bqKeZhF

If Trump signs the spending bill, he's blowing what's probably his last chance to get his wall. LET HIM KNOW YOU'RE PAYING ATTENTION by calling White House at 202 456 1414 and urging him to NOT sign the bill. His decision is imminent so please call ASAP. Calling has an impact.

CALL FOR THE WALL: Phone the White House 202 456 1414 & tell Trump NOT to sign the big spending bill . He needs to veto it & negotiate for his wall. He'll never get it if he signs. Congress jamming him. (Why would Cong. give it to him once Cong. has what it wants-Defense, HHS $?)

Thank you. If you don't get through today, try tomorrow morning. No time to waste since they will send him the bill to sign soon. 202 456 1414. https://t.co/KFY7MgDNGY

This is a good idea. CALL THE WHITE HOUSE and tell Trump not to sign the Defense/HHS spending bill unless he gets border wall money. 202 456 1414 is the switchboard.
Can't hurt. Calling usually has surprising impact. @realdonaldtrump may think nobody's paying attention. https://t.co/zR4CqBjRYw

With Carswell & Haynsworth there was some more specific reason for opposition-competence, or discrete issue of segregation. Bork it was pretty much 'we don't like your ideology even if you're competent non-racist'. New "norm" that this was valid basis for rejection. (IMO it is) https://t.co/uNgWeSWAUi

But it's a tiny group that wields wildly disproportionate power includes half the op-ed columnists at our major dailies, virtually every "conservative" MSM TV pundit. Someone must listen to them! Also a critical group of GOP members of Congress. https://t.co/sqrXTeE7GZ

Also, the (yes) Feiler Faster Thesis suggests Kavanaugh fallout will have a shorter half-life than people expect. I would think especially if he's confirmed. (How will Dems keep it alive when they have so many other complaints?) https://t.co/Wuxd5mMhci

This is the @Schwarzenegger model (GOP loses midterms, Trump turns half-Dem). The rub as usual is immigration. GOP base counting on Trump to do something in a way Arnold's base was not. And Dems incentive will be to give Trump zero, no? https://t.co/4Y8zUepoIO

THAT'S IT. TRUMP HAS FAILED TO BUILD HIS WALL. "Trump pledges ‘we’ll keep the government open’ days ahead of shutdown deadline." He's not going to get it after the midterms. https://t.co/7AeojxjNHQ

And how does it differ from the Resistance Economy during Nixon's presidency? (One possible answer: Anti-Nixon boomers have more money now.) https://t.co/JDzKHzgpJu

Having "professional outside counsel" do the questioning was the sensible advice of veteran Dem aide Ron Klain, before Ford started making her demands https://t.co/cCX3cVh8aX https://t.co/9i0WqRF83V
