Senate Republicans strongly signaled on Wednesday that they will forge ahead with embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh’s confirmation as his accuser called the rush for a public hearing next week unfair.

GOP senators who fretted earlier this week about the prospects for President Trump’s pick are now largely pushing for a vote on Kavanaugh, who is accused of sexually assaulting now-professor Christine Blasey Ford when they were teenagers, amid signs that she may decline to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

He’s not that embattled. If every nominee to any position for whom Dems come up with some outrageous accusations at the last minute is “embattled”, then everyone is, and the word no longer has any meaning at all.

he’s not ‘embattled” ..he’s “SMEARED!”

but yes, let’s get him confirmed now. This D smear campaign and farce has gone on FAR too long and they haven’t come up with a single credible, relevant thing wrong with him

Three writers for this article. Multiple writers is always a sign of an extra special MSM deception in process.

The Washington Post is the public media face of the clown car deep state. I hope these propaganda shills are getting well paid by Soros for writing like 50 IQ fools.

Embattled is a term leftists use whenever a Republican is accused of something..when its a Dem accused of something the headline is “Nominee fights back against bogus charges”

Right. If GOP delays for every Dem trick they will be patsies of the year award winners.

Danger: I just saw a wimpy poll that said only 31% of the American people want Kavanaugh.

I will NOT accept the Dems winning at this smear job.
There was an old WWF album of wrestlers singing and Vince McMahon’s refrain for his song was “You’re going’ down!”

That goes out to all you Dems. Listen real close, azzholes.
