Dem Joe Manchin: Kavanaugh a ‘very fine person’ with ‘all the right qualities’

Imagine you’re a leftist Democrat. I know it’s horribly unpleasant, but don’t worry. I won’t make you do this for long. Just imagine you’re a leftist Democrat. You just lost what you thought was a slam dunk election because your own party cheated the guy you wanted to be your presidential nominee. A man you absolutely despise is President, and he’s all but erased the legacy of your political paragon, Barack Obama. You view the constitution as a nuisance, one SCOTUS seat has already gone go to a strict constructionist, and you’ve just watched the announcement of another SCOTUS nominee who you think will pull the court ever further toward our “outdated” founding document.
