Change the party affiliation. Kavanaugh is a liberal justice appointed by a Democratic president. The Republicans would already have the articles written and the case tried. And their propagandist media would be running 24 hour a day expose's.
Oh, come now, William. Surely with the level of political animosity that is occurring now, brought about largely by the right wing extremist media propaganda arm of the GOP, you didn't expect quiet acceptance of the fraud and corruption that electing the orange headed buffoon has brought about, did you? The SCOTUS nominees should have been very carefully vetted to make sure they had not only a pristine legal record when it came to the rulings they made, but also a pristine personal background. Looks like they did that with Gorsuch, who wasn't really Trump's choice, but didn't when it came to Kavanaugh. Well, seems like the Republicans have a thing for men who can't keep their zippers closed. A lot of Republicans are hoping Kavanaugh got control of his by the time the statute of limitations runs out on sexual assault crimes.
Don't equate not paying attention with "Never a peep." The House is even now laying out the case for impeaching the orange headed buffoon. Realistically, no matter what they lay out--and they are going to lay out a whole lot more than just the crimes documented in the Mueller report--they probably won't convince enough Republican senators to meet the two thirds threshold. What this is doing is laying out all of the constitutional violations and outright crimes that the buffoon has committed that make him ineligible for the Presidency. This is a case for the voters and a means of energizing Democrats and Independents to get the kind of voter turnout they had in the mid-terms. They'll get it and the buffoon won't come close to re-election. Afterward, if they choose, they'll have a mountain of evidence to prosecute him and send him to prison if they want.
Seeing Trump at rallies these days is almost worth watching. The puffy, red face, pointed, scrunched up lips whining and hollering about stuff that he should be serenely ignoring just gives his opponents insights into his desperation. The Democrats are very good at baiting him, to the point where his red face could light up one of his hotels.
