As we just learned Mrs. Ford won’t testify next week until an FBI investigation is completed.
Her intentions are now clear. Delay Kavanaugh a seat on SCOTUS until after the mid-terms.
This is, of course, one of the stupider things that Red has ever posted and he's posted a ton of them!
In this instance, even if they have the vote after the mid-term elections and even if the Dems claim sufficient members of the Senate that they would be able to block the nomination after inauguration day, there is nothing that would preclude the GOP's ramming it through duing their lame duck session.
Not only do you confuse the trees and the forest you seem incapable of seeing any of the landscape.
The sole strategy of the democrats in this 11th hour of the confirmation process is to delay the final vote past the mid-terms.
Actually, the strategy is to defeat Kavanaugh, a liar and possible attempted rapist. The Dems are well aware That if they take the Senate - not likely but possible- the Repos.would jam through Kavanagh in the lame duck session.
That way those red state dem senators won’t be forced to walk a political “plank” over a risky confirmation vote.
At this point, the Dems have.sufficient cover. I think the Repos are in greater danger If they mishandle the hearings. This is the wrong zeitgiest to be air quoting victim to someone claiming a sexual assault.
If that happens then the dems get closer to the bigger prize, controlling the Senate. Then the script calls for using the election to push the vote to the “ new “ Senate where ANY vote will be pushed off until 2021.
Oh, I don't know the Dems would keep the seat open another two years. It is likely that they try to edge Trump to a less radical choice. But if they do, thank Chuck Grassley.
