An hour or after Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed as the replacement for Associate Justice Kennedy on the Supreme Court I decided to trawl Liberal Twitter for the reaction. I was not disappointed.
Yes, I'd imagine it did. I wonder why history seems to be repeating itself?I never thought I’d feel like I did on election night again. Today feels like that. https://t.co/TNxQwmtNJw

Yes. They've given Republicans a significant boost in advance of the November mid-terms, where Democrats were previously indicated as performing well. Well done survivors! Bet you're pleased.My message to sexual assault survivors: Thank you for your courage. Your voices have mattered. pic.twitter.com/nOwUEklBW8

Also, the republic's legislative branch function of selecting the members of the judiciary.This is what democracy looks like Mr. Trump. Citizens offering their feelings and opinions and demonstrating how the 1st amendment works! https://t.co/w7xz4TjR4u

I don’t know what it says about America that I just burst into tears watching this. Maybe because it’s a glimpse of an America we can create together.
Thank you brothers. https://t.co/Q34YIIODhJ
Should we bring Bill Clinton's hands into the discussion then? How about (Heaven forfend) Joe Biden's?I Tweeted that the hand Brett Kavanaugh raised today may have been the hand he held over Dr. Ford’s mouth. @DouglasFBaldwin commented “womp womp”.

And that, ladies, is what Republican men think when you are sexually assaulted.
“womp womp”
Remember that. VOTE on Nov. 6 https://t.co/QUseiX538z
I'm fine with making these cheap shots. The Democratic senators and associated mob who tried to lynch Brett Kavanaugh made this confirmation expensive enough for him and his family - and for Christine Ford, let us not forget. Let's have some symmetry.
