Agree with you on #6. (Actually, I agree with you on all of it, it's just that no one will dare speak the words contained in #6. I'm too superstitious to do so and believe moods pass through networks much the same way they wind up affecting stock markets, so don't want to start a mood on DW by moving the bar quite that low. But hey, somebody had to say it so at least it wasn't me).
Thing is, once he's been confirmed, the Republican party is mostly finished. The at best 35% of diehard Trump moonbasers who carry him and whom are expected to carry every other R through midterms are not going to be enough to stop this without some serious - and I mean perfectly preposterous - Russian interference, which of course I don't put past them, nor the Russians. They're going to be voted out in midterms in a wave that makes the last tsunami to hit anywhere look like some ripple in a mud puddle. So win or lose, and liberal ideals might very well lose over at the SCOTUS, and women will lose, period, but we'll get them out of Congress one way or another.
Or at least, I hope. I don't think anyone's seeing the results of the collective anger that might come out of this correctly.
