There are already cracks in the damn.
1. Even Trump is now saying a delay may happen.
2. Republican Senators Jeff Flake, Bob Corker, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins are all now leaning towards saying a hearing, under oath, needs to take place.
You think this sort of thing is going to get worked out in a week? The way the swamp works?
Now that 4 of the necessary (R)'s are getting weak-kneed this confirmation vote is looking very shaky in the best of light.
Now, whether this pisses off enough Trump supporters (including the independents and "blue dog" dems that voted for him) to get out and vote this fall, that remains to be seen. The (D)'s smell blood in the water and they will do everything to stop Trump / Kavanaugh / MAGA, etc, including rigging elections, voting by dead people illegal aliens and all the rest.
The mid-term votes in 2018 will decide a great deal of our republic's future.
Have we heard from McConnell, lately? He acted tough (for once) and declared Kavanaugh “Will be confirmed!” when he was nominated. Makes me wonder if he was in on this stunt, as well.
