Judge Kavenaugh’s name is on the list of candidates for nomination for SCOTUS - and his name on that list was a positive rather than a negative in the eyes of the voters who elected Mr. Trump.

That fact alone suffices to justify the Senate in voting on the confirmation of Judge Kavenaugh’s nomination without any inquiry - certainly without any public inquiry - into his character.

The committee’s work is finished.

CALL THE QUESTION!

McConnell doesn't have the votes any longer. He might have 47, but if he had a vote with only those locked up he'd lose 10-12 more ending up with a disasterous 35 or so for Kavenaugh.

Every senator up for reelection would bail.
