That is no doubt an important element in this charade, even more important than the almost certain fact there was no bedroom assault.
The other important fact is that Trump has declared Kavanaugh will be on the bench by the time the next session begins; and, Trump has most or all of the facts of this dispute
Grassley may appear a pushover to those of us out here on the sidewalk but then we are "watching sausage being made".
Given the cards it holds the left may well make the decision it is better served to fold at this point and prepare to defeat Amy Barrett.
By nominating Kavanaugh before Barrett, Trump is giving us a chance to watch the characters and the narrative that they will pull out of their hats — and sure enough, there is a Blasey Ford connection with Corcept, the abortion pill maker, apparently. She supposedly designs statistical studies for the company. I tried to find a link to this information other than Althouse or InfoWars but couldn’t.
The left will go insane over Barrett.
