I not only watch F&F most mornings, I also record it every day in case I miss while getting ready for my day.
Nowhere was the Judge trashed by anyone!!!
Judge Napolitano indeed said that Kavanaugh was the DC Swamp choice. I was really surprised.
None of the finalists were perfect in every way. Kavanaugh has a long history, is well admired and conservative on most issues. Yes, there is a very slight chance of his being soft on a couple of issues (but not a Souter, or even Kennedy). Hard for the left to credibly Bork Kavanaugh.
Personally, I would have preferred Amy Coney Barrett - they would have attacked her with such vitriol, maybe even killing her nomination, that GOP would have done significantly better in mid-terms; the anger would bring out the big numbers. Then she would be a cakewalk in January. However, when FBG finally retires, Amy will step right up.
If they succeed in derailing Kavanaugh, it will bode well for mid-terms as well; we’ll get him approved in January with our larger Senate.
