President Donald Trump took time to congratulate the Senate for confirming Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court while en route to Topeka, Kansas for a Make America Great Again rally Saturday.
I applaud and congratulate the U.S. Senate for confirming our GREAT NOMINEE, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, to the United States Supreme Court. Later today, I will sign his Commission of Appointment, and he will be officially sworn in. Very exciting!

White House spokesperson Raj Shah reiterated Trump’s sentiment in a statement:
“The White House applauds the Senate for confirming President Trump’s nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.”
Shah also confirmed that the President will sign his commission of Kavanaugh’s appointment and that he will be officially sworn in later Saturday.
toxic waves of smugness are rolling out of DC
For now.
And , ANOTHER PERVERT elected to SCOTUS .
And the plutocracy takes another step towards cementing its power for a generation.
For some time, certainly since McConnell took over, I’ve believed that Senate Democrats not only had to win a majority but had to cease honoring rules that Republicans no longer honored even in the breach. Now I think it will be necessary to gain a 2/3rds majority because the only way to reverse the damage being done to the judiciary as well as laws granting corporations and plutocrats unassailable power is to stack the highest courts with progressives, override veto, and/or impeach white-wing apparatchiks outright.
