The vote on Kavanaugh MUST be done no later than Thursday or he can NOT join the court for this session.
All these dalays were meant to accomplish just that.
The vote MUST be done by the 27th.
The ‘end of the month’ is too late.
No, it's not too late. Kavanaugh can join the USSC any time. What these delays are meant to do is depict the Old White Men as demanding and unreasonable. If she wanted to testify she would have agreed. Instead the lawyers and publicists are putting up a display of pretending to "negotiate". When this is done they will get on the soapbox, lie about the details and whip stupid women (not all obviously) into a frenzy. They will protest in the capitol (even more than before) and hold marches elsewhere. It's all about publicity, the delay is part of the publicity.
Why can’t he join the court for this session? Gorsuch joined in April of last year.

First up on the Court docket is oral argument in Weyerhauser v. Division of Fish & Wildlife, an important case involving the “Chevron Doctrine” of deference to agency rulings. Kavanaugh is likely to be a pivotal 5th vote in favor of Weyerhauser and for reining in out of control dictatorial federal agencies. The case is set for Oral argument on October 1, the first day of the term. By tradition, if a Justice does not participate in oral argument, he will not take part in the deliberation or decision of the case.
Kavanaugh needs to be confirmed no later than next Friday.
