Yup, little 'ol liberals, the clock has struck midnight and the Supreme Court of the United States has just went that much further to the right, which of course is a great thing for the entire nation. 7 times the man was investigated and they found him to be squeaky clean. And now the little liberals are in a frenzy today, saying it wasn't enough. What a shock that is!
So if Ginsberg lasts another 6 years, then things will likely be as-is, and the right has the appropriate edge in the highest court. But should she meet her maker, then put millions on suicide watch, and comedy watch.
The folks that were nervous about him are now approving of him, and the game from the left is over.
And in addition to the game being over, the right getting another judge on the SC bench - I believe I heard on 1010 Wins earlier while driving that Trump numbers have reached the 50% support plateau.
I expect Pete will be screaming at the skies first sight of the moon this evening. :laugh:

Make-or-break GOP senators signal support for Kavanaugh after FBI report
A pair of GOP senators who had been on the fence about Brett Kavanaugh indicated Thursday they were satisfied with the FBI’s updated background check on the Supreme Court nominee — an apparent signal of support of his confirmation.
“We’ve seen no additional corroborating information,” said Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, referring to the allegations of sexual misconduct lodged against President Trump’s nominee by a California college professor and a former classmate at Yale.
Kavanaugh has vigorously denied the accusations.
Maine Sen. Susan Collins, another Republican who, like Flake, has not announced a position, said “it appears to be a very thorough investigation,” countering claims by Democrats that it was a rush job micromanaged by the White House.
Flake and Collins — along with Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski — are key GOP votes in the bitterly divided Senate, where Republicans hold a 51-49 majority and can’t afford to lose more than two votes, assuming all Democrats vote to deny the nomination.

White House Finds No Support in FBI Report for Claims Against Kavanaugh
Senators are set to review the FBI’s findings Thursday
WASHINGTON—The White House has found no corroboration of the allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh after examining interview reports from the FBI’s latest probe into the judge’s background, according to people familiar with the matter.
It was unclear whether the White House, which for weeks has raised doubts about the allegations, had completed its review of the FBI interview reports.
Still, the White House’s conclusions from the report aren’t definitive at this point in the confirmation process. Senators who will decide Mr. Kavanaugh’s fate are set to review the findings on Thursday, and some of them may draw different conclusions.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa), the Senate Judiciary Committee’s chairman, said on Twitter early Thursday that the committee had received the report.
The result could leave senators in much the same position as last week—faced with two witnesses providing mutually exclusive accounts and forced to decide between them. The investigation, which concluded two days before its Friday deadline, has faced mounting criticism in recent days from Democrats who have said the probe wasn’t appropriately comprehensive. Investigators spoke to one of the three women who made accusations of sexual misconduct against Judge Kavanaugh.
Raj Shah, spokesman for the White House, said in a statement early Thursday morning: “The White House has received the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s supplemental background investigation into Judge Kavanaugh, and it is being transmitted to the Senate.”

Republican enthusiasm surges amid Supreme Court battle
WASHINGTON
They are getting outraised. They are struggling in suburbia. And their top guy is dividing America. But suddenly, five weeks from Election Day, Republicans are seeing tangible evidence of a spike in GOP enthusiasm that has eluded them all cycle.
“It’s got to be Kavanaugh,” said Republican pollster Robert Blizzard, coming to the same conclusion as GOP operatives nationwide: the Democrats’ efforts to block President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee are backfiring with Republicans who were previously apathetic about the midterms but are now angry—and engaged.
Conversations with pollsters, strategists and party officials reveal that Republican voters are circling the wagons around Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s Supreme Court nominee who has been accused of sexual assault, allegations he strongly denies. And now, there are concrete signs that the drama over his confirmation, complete with emotional Senate hearings and an FBI supplemental investigation, is helping Republicans close an enthusiasm gap with Democrats, which has been one of the GOP’s biggest challenges of the last two years.
“It’s the difference between victory and defeat in a close race,” said veteran GOP pollster Whit Ayres, who said he’s seeing a bump in Republican enthusiasm. “They’re pretty upset about how Kavanaugh has been treated.”
