Don't you 'spose Sen. Merkley is making a lot of this sort of noise to keep anyone from demanding Dr. D.B.Ford herself, be investigated?

Sen. Jeff Merkley asked a court Thursday afternoon to quickly step in and delay the Senate from voting on this weekend on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court.
Mr. Merkley has filed a long-shot lawsuit arguing President Trump has violated the Constitution by withholding documents from Judge Kavanaugh’s past, denying senators the ability to make an informed decision on the nomination. That, he says, violates the Constitution’s demand that the Senate give “advice and consent” on nominations.
The Oregon Democrat asked for a hearing Friday afternoon or Saturday morning, just before the Senate is expected to hold a final vote on the judge’s elevation.
“Once the vote is taken, plaintiff’s ability to comply with the Constitution’s advice and consent process will be permanently extinguished,” the senator’s lawyers wrote to Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee to the federal district court in Washington, D.C.
Judge Jackson on Wednesday scheduled a hearing for next Tuesday, after all sides had a chance to submit briefs.

boy they just cannot stop their bullying!
And then explain it to Merkley. My senator. Gawd....
Go suck rocks, Murky, or whatever your name is.
Those documents are sealed. They know that. Sorry, try again.
No court is going to stop this vote. He better get used to it. Speaking of courts, he is going to lose the ‘Big Court’ very soon.
Well stated and true.
Dear Senator Merkley....there will be a gathering of “Jeffs” in Flakey Jeffice office and will be supervised by Sleepy Jeff.
Oh my, when RBG goes, it’s gonna get real real bad.
This is beyond comical. They are the party of the temper tantrum.
Funny how Flaky lost his balls while Graham seems to have found his.
Gotta wonder what kind of influence and how/what/why McStain had over these guys.
Frivolous. He should be sanctioned.
Amen! That leftist judge has no clue when it comes to the Constitution or the rule of law, it’s all “feelings” with her.
Thank-you, my good FRiend!
McConnell needs to clearly specify that no court has jurisdiction over this matter, and any order will be ignored
Oregon ping for one of our ignorant Senator showing his stuff
“Judge Jackson on Wednesday scheduled a hearing for next Tuesday, after all sides had a chance to submit briefs.”
And Merkley will probably complain that Judge Kavanagh did not provide the contents of his underwear drawer when asked to submit “briefs” unless he wears boxer shorts....and then Merkley will say that Kavanagh was being deceitful in wearing boxers, not briefs.

The Left needs to turn their depravity towards Obama, the man who destroyed their party.
Three branches.
