Republicans support a nominee who would rule to protect a criminal president from justice, even with solid evidence against him.
Use this gift, Democrats!

(32,816 posts)By president Obama. They have broken their own rules. Kavanaugh did NOT answer direct question only requiring a yes or no response. The republicans are hiding thousand and thousand of pages of his opinions. This is not a transparent process and republicans make it up as they go to cheat their way into whatever they want. They are lawless and without morals. THOSE ARE FACTS.
