(2) This WaPo reporter is incorrect about the vote being "scheduled for" Saturday. The earliest time a vote COULD be held is Saturday pm. There's no reason not to hold it on Sun/Mon IF we need Daines. I think we won't. Read my 5 tweets about him here:
(5) Everyone who understands what's at stake (#DueProcess) cares about the outcome on its merits alone. Women who, like me, try to deal in facts not feelings care even more about Democrats grossly misrepresenting us & our interests. #HimToo#MeToo#WeToo
(6) So true! I have been falsely accused or railroaded by malicious hearsay so many times I've lost count. My slightly older brother from another mother, Brett Kavanaugh, stood up to the bullies and WON. He's an inspiration.
(9) Lots happening in the last two hours as #HistoryMade Collins, & Manchin state they are a YES for the #BillOfRights as symbolized by the Kav vote, & Murkowski states she is a NO.
I will update this thread with select pics etc later on. As usual read @SenOrrinHatch's feed.
(11) This is huge. Bush 41 seldom tweets. I always believed he supported Kav, after all, Bush 43 always has. With this tweet he announced it.
We cannot afford to exclude these two former Presidents from MAGA based on Jeb! or mere words said. Dems are playing with our lives.
(12) President Trump has not tweeted about the Collins, Manchin & Murkowski announcements yet. I think he's allowing the rest of the GOP to enjoy this moment that they've all worked so hard for. Those who opposed Trump him are being forced to admit there'd be no Kav without him.
(13) I think it went something like this. Before Justice Kennedy retired, Trump called GWB to chat about the next SCOTUS nominee. Asked who he would choose & if he'd back Kavanaugh 100% no matter what. GWB said "absolutely." Bush 41 did too.
Three Presidents united.🐘🇺🇸
(14) Congratulations Justice Kavanaugh and Mrs Kavanaugh!
The Republic stands. There has been a disturbance in the force.
Both oaths of office will be sworn TODAY, which is unusual. Great to see Justice Kennedy will administer one of them. Kav was his law clerk.
(15) "When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice." #TrumpEffect#NeverSayNever
I welcome ALL new Trump supporters with open arms. We have a shot at Republican unity... let's take it! 🐘🇺🇸
(17) The lying media are trying to make it seem like the protesters at the Supreme Court are at risk of forcing entry to the building, or something. Always gotta create drama where it's not needed.
The relevant Police agencies have it under control.
(18) Sen Joni Ernst beaming with happiness about this confirmation while speaking on FOX. Footage of the crowd outside the court shows it's not big. MSM photos and video will be designed to make it look bigger than it is, as usual.
(19) LOL. 3 hours after the confirmation vote, Twitter allows a Kav trend to appear at the bottom of the trending list. Low energy.
The left's narrative now is that confirmation was "inevitable" & the GOP railroaded him through.
Except... Harry Reid went nuclear in 2013. Ha.
(20) Trump Campaign Manager @BradParscale speaking in Topeka, KS ahead of Trump. Gonna be a great rally!
(21) Correction: The campaign manager's account is @Parscale. Good job, Twitter. /sarcasm
Some great Trump photos from today in Washington DC and Topeka, KS.
(22) This process has given rise to so many great moments.
(23) At the Kansas rally, Trump notices a huge cheer after he mentions Lindsey Graham. Then he mentions Susan Collins and gets another huge cheer. Chuck Grassley gets a big cheer. Finally Mitch McConnell gets a cheer.
How things have changed, and for the better. #GOPUnity
(24) @JudgeJeanine is BESIDE HERSELF with joy as she introduces her show at the end of the Trump rally.
(25) Judge Jeanine says POTUS will be calling in to the show soon, tune in!
I wonder how long he will talk for... I bet, not as long as he wants to!
(26) He's on! And then the call's connection was lost. He'll be back on soon.
(27) For me this photo from today represents the strong women patriots who this week put our foot down.
They're laughing at the wind from the takeoff of Marine One, but they're also feeling trilled & proud to have watched POTUS walk out, answer media questions & take off.
(28) The disturbance in the force tonight has been so great that it broke FOX's audio systems twice in the last few minutes.
(29) Steve Daines certainly would have returned to vote IF NEEDED. Our majority was more than sufficient for him to be excused. His new son in law isn't going to forget his wedding anniversary, LOL.
(2) Brett M. Kavanaugh will soon be the 102nd Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the USA. He has earned this highest honor throughout his life, inspired by his trailblazing mother, Judge Martha Kavanaugh.
His title for these few hours is Associate Justice Designate.
(3) This statement from the Supreme Court explains the two ceremonies:
(1) A directory of my Kavanaugh threads since July 9, 2018.
I never planned more than a couple of threads about him this year but, I shoulda known the Dems would try to destroy whoever was the nominee this time.
(2) Like Democrats, I'd already decided how I felt about him before his nomination was announced. I live-tweeted the announcement, which was a great event in itself.
(3) I followed Kavanaugh's progress over the summer and on September 22nd, I finally wrote a thread about the preparations for the all-important hearing on September 27th. It covers the hearing before the next thread started the day after.
(2) Mitch laughing to himself about how absurd it is that he has to push his way through the crowd of reporters on 9/25/18.
(3) Sen Grassley is 85 years old. (Democrats have senators around that age, too.)
Today he had to hold onto a Capitol Police officer to reduce the risk of a reporter knocking him over. This has to stop. Senators must return to being able to walk around freely at work.
(2) First Lady Melania Trump is a natural in this important role.
She's one of those women whose face lights up whenever she is around children. God Bless our great First Lady.
👠🇺🇸
(3) FLOTUS left Joint Base Andrews in her trademark high heels and arrived in Ghana wearing practical flats. She still looks sensational, whatever she happens to wear!
(2) Cloture in the Senate is a procedural step that you can learn more about at the link below. The senate.gov website is the best resource for learning about Senate procedure and a lot more. Same for house.gov.
(3) Watching live Senate floor proceedings is boring as hell, as they pass bills for naming Post Offices, & so on. But every now & then, they confirm a SCOTUS judge. And this time, they will affirm our great #BillOfRights#DueProcess & the hard-won #RuleOfLaw. Seriously. 🇺🇸🦅
