Delay to defeat
Democrats lack the votes to stop the nomination if no Republican senator breaks ranks, and some liberals urged a delay of the confirmation. During a noon conference call hosted by liberal activist groups, one tactician advocated a strategy of using Mr. Mueller’s Russia investigation as a reason to postpone a vote on Judge Kavanaugh, possibly until after November’s midterm elections.
“We cannot rush this nomination,” said Leslie Proll, a civil rights lawyer who is advising the NAACP on judicial nominations. “There is a pending criminal investigation into the president. It would be irresponsible for the Senate to move forward without concluding that.”
Sen. Cory A. Booker, New Jersey Democrat, a member of the Judiciary Committee and a likely 2020 presidential contender, also is arguing to halt any consideration of the nominee until Mr. Mueller wraps up his investigation.
“President Trump is currently a subject of an ongoing criminal investigation, and any nomination of a Supreme Court justice while that investigation continues is unacceptable because of the clear conflict of interest inherent in the president installing someone who could be the deciding vote on a number of potential issues from that investigation,” Mr. Booker said.
Mr. Mueller’s team has said the president isn’t a “target” of the investigation, which is looking into suspected collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign in 2016.
Mr. Schumer accused the president of using Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to thwart the special counsel’s investigation. In earlier writings, Judge Kavanaugh expressed the view that presidents, as heads of the entire executive branch of government, should not be burdened by criminal investigations until after they leave office.
“He’s worried Mr. Mueller will go to the court and ask that the president be subpoenaed,” Mr. Schumer said of the president. “President Trump knows that Kavanaugh...

Or until the 12th of Never. Whichever comes first...
Of course, because the Mueller “investigation” is never ending.

No, he is not.
Uh, no there isn't.
Bump!
Chuckie is desperate.
Strange that they had no problem nominating a presidential candidate who was supposedly the subject of an FBI investigation. Of course, we all know now that there was never any real investigation, but only the Deep State, the Obamas and the Clintons knew that at the time.
Push to postpone
Pay off Republican Senators for a no vote
Push Red State Democrat Senators to vote no and risk their Senate seats
Get Kennedy to NOT resigned until after the mid terms
Impeach Conservative Justices
bla, bla, bla,
Trump isn’t under threat of indictment or subpoena.
Mueller has nothing in the way of proof of collusion or any evidence the President committed a crime,
The witch-hunt needs to end so the President can do his job of serving the country.
This is another stall tactic from the Democrats.
End the Mueller probe on Monday.
Start the confirmation on Tuesday.
What, no more SCOTUS nominations until October 2020?
The “Mueller probe” isn’t likely to end until a couple of years after the end of President Trump’s second term.

Innocent until proven guilty. They can go bugger themselves.
Mr Schumer is right.
Let’s conclude both by Oct. 1.
Whoa, whoa. The one that comes first? Let's not be hasty here! Let's do it for the one that comes second instead. Don't want to rush these things.
What RosenWeasel and Weasel Mueller are doing is Criminal.
So 2042.
Welcome back, my friends!
to the show that never ends!
