If #BrettKavanaugh is confirmed he will be the most hyper partisan & corrupt Justice to ever be seated on this nation's highest Court.
David Brock has written that Kavanaugh belonged to a group of toxic conservatives who were all groomed to radicalize our discourse.

And we aren't talking semi toxic. We are talking Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson, Ann Coulter, and Matt Drudge among others. Each of them recognized as forces to be reckoned with among even the most powerful in conservative circles.

This group of cohorts have much in common. Each has lowered the bar of decency, civility, and honesty in this country in very specific ways.
More disturbing is the obvious and dangerous racism that permeates the professional output of every single one of them.

And it is not a subtle racism either. It's an ugly, proud, and invasive racism which is intentionally inserted to cause civic harm.
There is absolutely no reason, given what we know, to suggest that #BrettKavanaugh is any different than any of the others in their group.

Again, it is important to note that these people were chosen / groomed to rise to the height of power in their respective fields. They're part of the conservative plan to takeover the American political system. And there's not a never Trumper among them.
Not a conincidence.

In many ways Trump is the obvious extension of a two decade long conservative spiral into the moral abyss. Guided by men like Lee Atwater, and G. Gordon Liddy before, Republicans have gradually at first, and then not gradually at all, embraced the idea of politics as war.

And in their brand of warfare you take no prisoners, or if you do, it's permissable to abandon any usual sense of decency. Torture is not only acceptable, it's expected. Celebrated even.
Republicanism is defined now by a deeply pronounced amorality.

Theirs is not just an absence of morality, but an actual rejection of morality.
#BrettKavanaugh has proven that he is willing to lie under oath to protect and advance his and his cohorts particular vision.
And make no mistake that it's a wholly undemocratic vision.

Allowing #BrettKavanaugh to be confirmed will mean Donald Trump will never be forced to pay for any of his crimes.
We must #StopKanavaugh or we will absolutely lose everything that definitionally makes us American.
These are dark days indeed.
