Sen. Tom Cotton's (R., Ark.) office will operate a campaign-style war room to help Republicans fight back against attacks on President Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court.
Cotton's "Supreme Court War Room" was launched Friday afternoon, a day before Trump is expected to announce his pick to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. His office says the project will track attacks on the nominee and provide rapid response to push back.
Cotton, who himself was on Trump's list of potential nominees, created the project due to the ferocity of recent Supreme Court fights—especially over Trump's nominees, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

A fantastic idea, but don't dawdle. You have the votes, move it through and out before the election. No one listens to the Democrats. I skip them and watch only Republicans. I cannot bear looking at, or listening to Democrat lies. Make the Democrats keep their masks on, so we do not have to see their ugly faces.

One of the bigger lies of Dems around this issue is that the Senate should wait 1. Til the People Decide, or 2. Til after the Inauguration.
Which one is it?
By the end of Election Day we will know what "the people" decided.
The only reason to wait further is to mess with the election and sideline the 8 person Supreme Court if they tie.

Skip the war room and the hearings and go directly to a vote. Blame it on the demonrats. State that the Republicans will not allow the demonrats to inflict the heinous odious behavior on another nominee like that which they inflicted on Bork, Thomas and Kavanaugh.

I like that our young people are showing older Republicans how to get 'er done. Our generation and the ones just before us let the dems get away with tearing too much of our country down, but the current generation of young conservatives are not giving up; they're fighting hard, and it's a beautiful thing to see. Dems have their crazies; we have our smart, tough, military experienced (in some cases) fighters like Crenshaw and Cotton getting things done Trump-style. I like it. More Cotton and Crenshaw, less Lindsay Graham any day, every day. They're much better looking too.

#2 -- The people have already decided. They did so by electing President Trump and a majority Republican Senate. (Hat tip to Harry Reid for an assist.)

This is great. One of the biggest problems with Republicans is that they don't anticipate dem tactics and when the shooting starts the stunned Republicans ask "What's happening?". Usually, when Republicans are prepared they outmaneuver dems who are often incompetent except for screaming about things. Cotton has his head on straight. He knows the dems need to be confronted.
The funny thing is, it doesn't matter. Coney Barrett is a pretty well known quantity. After all the games and shouting are over, the Republicans are going to approve another very well qualified Trump appointed justice. The dems will all vote no and scream about the outcome. The RINOs will waffle (Collins - No, Murkowski - who knows, Rummey - will say something stupid in his 15 seconds of fame and then who knows) but they don't have the votes to make a difference so their show will end with a whimper although the media will make a big deal of their defections.
WIll the Left restart the riots? Trump voters are going to be all stoked after this YUGE win. THIS is why you want to vote for Trump will be the rallying cry.

This would be a lot easier if someone had been prosecuted for perjury during the Kavanaugh hearings (Avanti Switnick, et al) But the Repubies rolled over (Grassley et al) and did nothing. Sooooo here we are again.

Set a firm time limit and adhere to it. Don't let the disgusting democrat pond scum get their vile accusations in. No last minute Balsey Ford side shows.

I think the best strategy is to skip the hearings and watch the libs go off the rails. They would be powerless.
On the other hand, if the libs try and make an issue of the Haitian adoptions, they will be sorry. One of the Clinton's minions, Laura Silsby, was convicted of trying to kidnap 33 "orphans" out of Haiti after the earthquake, part of a much darker and more evil story connected to Jeff Epstein and The Clinton Foundation.
The dems will rue the day they get people talking about Haiti and children. The shocking more sinister story has yet to come out, but many feel it will soon.

Happy that at least Senator Cotton is preparing for the battle....many republicans are not adept at fighting back like President Trump...when someone challenges you... dukes up and punch back....let's wipe the smirk off chuckles schemer's face and call Feinstein out on her sneaky contrived lies...and then there's Spartacus the black privilege senator... who was educated in private schools and lived an affluent life...unbeknownst to him...or so he says...

Yeah, Tom's renting a Walmart Superstore sized warehouse to store all the Depends the Republican senators on the judiciary committee will need to look brave and courageous as Mr Hankie visits their trousers EVERY time a Marxist senator whispers boo in their ears.
Never underestimate the senate Republicans' ability to lose an easy win while the Marxists do a Lucy and pull the football away. I have full confidence the GOP will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again...again.

I hope Amy Barrett doesn't turn out to be another Roberts or Sessions! I'd rather have Judge Jennine. Trump should replace a staunch Liberal with a staunch Conservative!

The Dems are at war with us every day anyway, so skip to the vote and save us from the hate speeches.

I hope Sen. Cotton hires a dream team of parliamentarians to counter the procedural roadblocks the Dims are planning to throw up. Set a schedule and stick to it. Git 'er done before Election Day.

At the first dim outburst, Graham must rule the dims out of order and close the hearing right then and there and the pubbies should vote to send the recommendation to confirm to the full Senate.

“War Room”?!
I’d call for a vote before they’re finished unpacking boxes there.

When you look at the young talent on the republican bench (Cotton, Hawley, et al.) and then you look at the 'young talent' on the dims' bench the differences are, shall we say, striking.

There's uncertainty among we deplorables about A.T., after PDJT. I can't wait to see Cotton in a presidential primary.

Establish rules of civility and corresponding punishments for breaking them.
Let the Rats know if any one of them descends into their usual depravities of character assassination then they will have opened themselves up to personal attacks about their past shenanigans. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. They will be silenced if they degenerate into their usual politics of personal destruction and a Republican defender will be allowed to castigate said offender. The members of the hearing are to discuss legal competence and constitutional knowledge. Politics is not allowed. The court is not be a place for practicing politics. Each Republican Senator (excluding RINO's) will prepare a dossier on one of the Rats to expose their lack of honour and character. Senators have rules to stop others from criticizing them rudely (in their mind). Those rules will be suspended when the Rats go off track in their interrogations.

As I understand it, the Democrats don't particularly dislike this candidate, but they want to go on record as siding with the Prince of Darkness to throw stuff on the wall to see if it will dispirit Judge Barrett. IOW, these attacks are only for the devilment of President Trump. His choices are merely getting in their line of fire.

Are they going to Borkenaugh her? Let’s see just how low they can go and how vile and despicable they will be. I have three days of Pop Secret popcorn on hand. Going to stock up on fixings for root beer floats and chicken wings. Should be fun!
