He is not being confirmed and that is not good news for the left. If he goes down under these circumstances the left will get destroyed this election cycle.
If I were Mitch, I would have a Plan B. I would start looking for a way to recess the Senate and allow Trump to recess appoint.
This is a win-win for the Republicans. If they vote, and he is confirmed, we win. If they vote, and Kavanaugh is not confirmed, we win even more bigly. The red-state Democrats fighting for their seats who voted against him will suffer. According to the most recent polls, they may lose their seats over this, putting more Republicans in the Senate for the next session where Kavanaugh can be re-nominated.
If Judge Kavanaugh is not Confirmed Sen McConnel’s duty would be to resign from his position after the midterm elections. That is if we still hold the Senate. He will have proven he is unfit to serve in his current position. I truly believe he should resign even if Judge Kavanaugh is Confirmed for allowing the Democrat party to put this country and this man and his family and friends through this RAPE Hoax.
He will be confirmed. Trump can’t appoint a SC judge with a recess appointment.
