I'm not even saying Kavanaugh was the bad first choice...
He's the bad choice NOW!

Are you sure it's their only goal? Or is seating Kavanaugh of particular interest for another reason?

I tend to agree with Kavanaugh, most Republicans, most Democrats, and most American's in general that Executive Privilege should exist to some extent...
Finding that isn't really hard either... but Kavanaugh appears very firm in his position on it.

No....
I completely understand how political this is...
That's why I woulda pulled my ace pitcher a week and a half ago and gone to my pretty deep bullpen...
But again I want to win the game... not "teach the dims a lesson!"

Kavanaugh has also said he thinks the President should be protected from questioning and investigation unless undertaken by Congress..

Even if he gets confirmed, which I seriously doubt, the rethugs will face an even more violent desertion of women at the midterms. Exaggerating the already bleak dismal opinion of women towards rethugs. and Chumpy

Ginsburg thinks that SCOTUS should consider the constitutions and court decisions of other countries in interpreting our own Constitution. That is certainly a lot more bat-shite crazy than anything Kavanaugh ever said.

It was ready for a vote - everything was done, just the vote left.
THEN this BS came up.
Even IF it were true, it HAS NO BEARING on his fitness to serve.
What matters - ALL that matters - is his adult life and service on the bench.
Case closed.
Call for a vote - NOW.

This is why the liars is delaying.
It takes time to herd sluts and get their stories straight.
