🔥Hillary Clinton is calling on the White House to reopen the background investigation on Brett Kavanaugh.
That’s the procedure.
The FBI is not refusing to investigate.
They’re not saying it’s not “their thing.”
#Democrats everywhere—especially in the #Senate—should support!

💥💥💥@SenateDems please support this request!
‼️The investigation can not reopen without the White House directive!
Another thing! Sinclair Broadcasting posts an article saying “Hillary Clinton urges White House to request...”
💥If you click, you get different GOP headline!

Constitutional Decay: The fundamental challenge to American democracy.

In sum: While its values still hold, much of the detail in the world’s oldest living constitution is increasingly incompatible with reality. This harms America by subjecting modern solutions to 18th century thinking. The #Constitution needs major revisions within a decade. 2/
America faces multiple domestic political problems. Underlying many, if not all of them, is a structural problem that will only become more severe with time, and may ultimately threaten our very nationhood. 3/
What is the real context of today’s #SCOTUS hearing? Here are some facts:
Over the next few days, senators will ask Judge #Kavanaugh questions about #SCOTUS cases, his record, and his qualifications. Some of these questions will be fair. Many others will be unfair.
Some of these unfair questions will ask him to promise to vote a certain way in particular cases likely to come before the Court.
The #KavanaughSCOTUS hearings start today.
I've seen MANY people express frustration, and trolls posing as progressive far left are bashing Schumer & Senate Dems.
Dems can't stop this confirmation.

🙋♂️ Why don't Dems just not show up? Then the senate can't vote on the confirmation!
👩🏫 There are easy procedural ways around that, esp. after McCain’s replacement is named (will be sooner than later if Dems try no-show). They could slow it down by hours - not weeks. 2/6

🙋♀️ Dems gave in too easily! Why didn't they fight back?
👨🏫 They did - they filibustered & insisted on roll call votes for some controversial candidates, which passed.

"It's also important that the American people know that these activities neither began nor ended with the 2016 elections" per @SenatorBurr "Foreign actors continue an aggressive and pervasive influence campaign against the #UnitedStatesofAmerica"

The Uphill Battle to Take the #Senate
We have a chance for Democrats to gain the #SenateMajority after the Nov elections. The balance is currently 51/49 (including 2 Indep’s.). We need turnover at least 2 GOP seats, w/o any losses. With losses, we will need to win more.

Senators serve for six years, divided into three ‘classes’. One-third of Senate seats are in play every two years, plus any vacancies for early resignations. This year there are two of the latter.
Unfortunately, in 2018, we have an uphill battle. There are 35 races, but 26 are for Democratic seats, and only 9 are GOP. And most of the latter are considered ‘safe’ for the incumbents. So, taking the Senate in 2018 is a daunting task.

I'm back on the #soapbox. And I'm going to be on it a long time talking up #CitizensUnited until it sinks into the brain of everyone here. If we want a HOPE of restoring the #integrity of our #elections it MUST be overturned. #DarkMoney is overriding our voices in the ballot box. 
#CitizensUnited was and is the nail in the coffin to any pretense of #democracy. How do you think this #IllegitimateRegime was installed? #DarkMoney is the major culprit. Then there was the #Russian interference, #Hacking, #VoterSuppression and #Gerrymandering.
