Becoming a SCOTUS justice will be the best revenge, then he can screw over the Dem's for decades.
Alas, the GOP just blinked on that front, calling for an FBI investigation.
They did it because they didn't have the votes to confirm Kavanaugh. Ford's testimony made a difference. And they're stalling for time. They know a vote on Monday means that they lose. They're hoping to make something happen in the next week.
No, Ford's testimony made no difference at all. Jeff Flake's need to pander and virtue signal to whichever lobbying firm he's hoping to work at after retiring, and the need of the other "swing" Senators to cover their butts on the campaign trail, made the difference.
Nonsense. The GOP rejected an FBI investigation before Ford testified. The day after Ford testified, they're calling for one.
The GOP blinked. They don't have the votes. If they did, they'd vote on Monday. They're stalling for time, hoping something chances the equation for them.
As right now, the math doesn't work for Kavanaugh.
No, the GOP isn't calling for it. Jeff Flake and a handful of wobbly Senators whose seats are in danger are calling for it. The GOP is choosing to let them get away with it.
And they represent the GOP on the judiciary committee. If the republicans had the votes they needed, they'd vote and confirm Kavanaugh on Monday.
They don't. They blinked. Their math on Kavanaugh doesn't work. And they're hoping an FBI investigation will change that. Given that Mark Judge has agreed to cooperate with the FBI on condition of confidentiality.......things aren't looking good for Kavanaugh.
With all of Kavanaugh's *other* accusors likely to be interviewed by the FBI as well.
No, they aren't. Jeff Flake is hoping the FBI investigation will get him a cushy job post-retirement. The other Senators are hoping it will get them votes. The GOP has never had a complete set of testicles between them.
None of that adds up to "Aha! Kavanaugh's testimony was CLEARLY A LIE!" no matter how much you squeeze your eyes shut, clap your hands, and wish for it.
