Then he should nominate someone else. Plenty of good conservative judges. Likely less of a drunkard too.
Bigger principles here. The entire GOP electorate was united after Ks testimony then the GOP threw that all away for one lame duck asshole Senator.
Biggest mistake of the Trump era matk my words
NO! Not enough time to nominate ANOTHER person, because vetting takes lots of time.
1 week delay is not serious. That puts vote to confirm month before election.
Note that FBI does not make the decision to confirm Kavanaugh. That power is only for US Senate. Not the president, not the VP, Not the House of Reps, Not the DOJ, Not the FBI, and not the people.
FBI can investigate for 69 weeks, it does not hold up the confirmation. Majority Leader McConnell can call for confirmation vote a week after FBI has been ordered by the POTUS to begin investigation, which was yesterday. So the confirmation vote can be scheduled for next Friday or Saturday. Even if FBI agent Strozk is assigned to investigate and takes 2 years, it makes no difference.
