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.

Many of the deep state punks have been exposed. They fear exposing their sources of cash payments AKA “Money Trail.” Both houses of Congress are bought and paid for. I really wonder if these career political hacks know how to live an honest life? How many in our Congress are like the WWII types in the Congress we grew up with? These lawyers know jack—— about economics, and; they darn sure have no clue what administrative policy formulation is. These clowns “COULD NOT” manage a local McDonald’s, and; they make our laws. Our Government makes the mafia look good.

He’s got work to do starting October 1st.

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

Agreed.

Grassley and McConnell have been doing yeoman's work on judicial confirmations in an extremely hostile environment.

The Turtle has his shortcomings but this is where he shines.

That's cute. They think they're in the majority. Elections have consequences.

Mitch is not, I repeat NOT, a flake on judicial nominations.

Based on what? For what reason? Just to obstruct?

From the article, with a minor edit:

Democrats wrote, “This nominee is being considered for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the country. If confirmed, he will have the opportunity to rule on issues of critical importance to all Americans for the next several decades. He may also be called upon to decide whether this president should face investigation or possible indictment for criminal wrongdoing.”

If the shoe were on the other foot, Republicans could write the same complaints about a liberal (shiver) nominee.

Clever post, clever screen name.
