Call the Roll on Kavanaugh

The Democratic strategy toward Judge Brett Kavanaugh has been apparent since September 4. Within minutes of Chuck Grassley calling the Judiciary Committee to order, Democrats began to interrupt him. They wanted to delay the hearing until their demands for documents had been met. They managed to prolong the hearing for about an hour. Then they retreated.

The objective was clear: Delaying the confirmation would be tantamount to defeating the confirmation. Why? Because if the delay lasted past Election Day, and if Democrats took the Senate, then the empowered minority could pressure two wayward Republicans into voting No. In January the Democratic Senate could block any subsequent Trump nominee—payback for Merrick Garland.

It didn't seem to work. Emphasis on "seem." Kavanaugh passed the initial rounds of questioning. What no one knew was that weeks earlier Dianne Feinstein had helped Professor Christine Blasey Ford secure legal counsel, and that Senator Feinstein possessed a letter that would, if leaked, re-open the confirmation process. Creating a new delay. And a much more serious threat to Kavanaugh's nomination and to the prospects of the conservative legal movement.

Ford's accusation of sexual assault became public on September 16. She expressed her desire to testify. So too did Kavanaugh—indeed, he was ready to deny her charges before the Senate the following day. Negotiations with Ford's team, which lasted for more than a week, prevented that from happening. On September 22, Ford expressed her "commitment" to appearing before the committee on September 27. Within 24 hours of that agreement, both the New Yorker and Michael Avenatti surfaced fresh allegations against Kavanaugh, each claim more implausible than the other. Feinstein's response? Another call for another delay.

democRATS are nothing but game-playing lowlife maggots.

Eliminate every Democrat’s hope for Public Service. From the Dog Catcher through to the State House and up to and through the Congress and Senate. That should be EVERY sane person’s goal. Vote them out of office. Vote to stop them from winning office. VOTE. And for those in CALIFORNIA; VOTE for the guy running against Feinstein. If he gets in, he’s a NOBODY. And there will be a real chance to vote him out in a future election. And he will have NONE of the power positions that Sen Feinstein has at this time.

As I recall, it seems so long ago now, Grassley was welcoming everyone to the hearing. And before he could even get through the introductory remarks, the Democrat side was interrupting and making motions for paperwork and to adjourn.

The Democrats have acted like spoiled bratty children throughout the entire process.

If we are to go down this road, then we should know where each of the 100 men and women elected to the United States Senate, including Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Jeff Flake, stand at the outset. How else will we be able to apportion blame when the three Furies arrive? Because they are on their way.

As LS pointed out on Twitter, Collins and Murkowski hold the key to the vote.

But both of these hags are Pro-Innocent-Baby-Murder. Therefore, they are caught between the entire fate of the Republican party, and their desire to allow women to murder children at will (even outside the womb).

Feinswine is scarred and angry. She has made illegal deals to enrich herself with foreign governments (including the Chinese).

I have no idea how this will all play out. I am hopeful Kavanaugh will be confirmed, but never underestimate the desire of some women to murder their own children. It's been going on for thousands and thousands of years.
