Dems officially request delay in Kavanaugh hearing
The Washington Times ^ | August 24, 2018 | Stephen Dinan

Democrats on the SenateJudiciary Committee officially requested a delay Friday in the planned confirmation hearing of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, saying there are too many questions to move forward with the Sept. 4 planned start.

All 10 Democrats signed a letter demanding the delay.

They listed a lack of documents, and President Trump’s mounting legal entanglements as matters that must be sorted out before Judge Kavanaugh faces questions in public for the first time since his nomination to the Supreme Court.

They also said Mr. Trump’s personnel judgment is in question after the troubles faced by a number of his original Cabinet and senior adviser picks.

The Turtle should ask himself this question:

In another circumstance like this, would the Democrats delay action?

Of course not. Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!!!!!

Grassley should call them out, state that we don’t even need committee hearings, let’s proceed to the floor vote. Then schedule voting to start in 15 minutes.

I have a hunch Grassley and McConnell will confirm.

I hope you are rignt. I firmly believe that the gop is behind what they are doing to Trump. And I believe they will delay it and blame Trump for it. Ether that or use it as leverage to get Trump to sign a spending bill that does not fund the wall. Well see.

The biased grandstanding Dems are just posturing to try to get into the second volume of

Profiles In Courage, The Story Continues
(soon to be a mini series).

Ocasio has already stated: “I’m ready for my close-up.”

“I bet dollars to donuts the turtle folds before the vote.”

I don’t think so ... turtle’s been slow with a lot of things, but he seems to have an obsession with getting judges confirmed.

I have almost no faith in The Turtle, but I have to admit he’s been pretty good on judges.

“Turtle’s head is already retreating into his shell”

Dude, just stop.

The guy delivers on this. Save criticism for something real.

Their next gambit will be to not show up at the hearings, to prevent them from starting...

We should be so lucky. If they go to their hiding spot safe place, it would expedite things, as they would not be present to hinder.

The Turdle should give them a two word answer. Then tell them he really likes this push for democracy and go for a simple majority. F this 60 crap.

That might have been the deal he made with Trump to schedule his wife to be confirmed very early in the process.

They claim they need to know more about him, but almost all of the Dems refused to meet with him.

I believe the Supreme Court begins work October 1.

It always has a full plate of work.

Kavanaugh should be confirmed at least 10 days in advance so he can be up to speed on day one.

There are people and corporations awaiting justice.
