Midknight Review -- new and revised: Per Media reports, the path to comfirmation just got a little . . . . .

Politico: Collins, Murkowski signal comfort with Kavanaugh

Editor's notes: Abortion is not the only issue, but it may be the "biggest" issue, and Collins/Murkowski may have sent signals that they are not especially concerned with Justice Kavanaugh on the matter.

Kavanaugh may be more inclined to limit abortion than to overturn the 1970's decision. If true (and he is pro-life), he is in line with the majority of Americans who oppose overturning Roe/Wade but, also, . . . . . .
favor serious limitations to the practice.

With this latest report, the prospect of returning the High Court to more literal interpretive process would seem to the future for the Court.

Understand that 14 of the past 18 justices appointed to the Court were appointed by Republican presidents. Sad but true. And I say "sad," because the Supreme Court, per the nomination imbalance, should have never gone so far to the Left. Obviously, being a "Republican" says very little when it comes to assessing the proclivity of past GOP Administrations.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
