They just won’t give up, will they? The Democrats in Congress want to put Judge Brett Kavanaugh under a microscope to find out what’s wrong with him.<\/p>\n

What’s wrong with him is that a) he worked in the White House for a Republican president (Bush, Jr.) and b) he’s nominated by a Republican president.<\/p>\n

“WASHINGTON \u2014 Judge Brett Kavanaugh\u2019s elevation to\u00a0the Supreme Court<\/a>\u00a0could have unknown and problematic implications for national security, according to a key Senate Democrat requesting more records from the nominee\u2019s past.”<\/p>\n

Note the use of” could, unknown, problematic”. These words are specifically used as monkey wrenches to make the hearings on Judge Kavanaugh less likely to occur in this lifetime.<\/p>\n

Sen. Jack Reed<\/a>, “D-R.I., and ranking member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, on Thursday requested chamber Republicans and the administration grant access to all files regarding \u201cKavanaugh\u2019s (past) service in the White House that address national security and the scope of presidential authority on national security matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kavanaugh worked in the White House Counsel\u2019s Office under\u00a0President George W. Bush<\/a>\u00a0from 2001 to 2003, including during the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

Reed said senators need to understand his involvement in a host of issues \u2014 including policies on the detention of enemy combatants and domestic surveillance programs \u2014 before taking a vote on his nomination.” – Article<\/p>\n

The link at ‘Bush’ relates to detainees at Gitmo in 2015.<\/p>\n

The “committee” has thus far received over 258,000 pages of documentation about Judge Kavanaugh. If they are so very worried about his qualifications and his views of how to treat people who would rather burn Americans alive than give them a fair hearing, why didn’t they bring this up before?<\/p>\n

Have they finished reading those ++quarter million pages of documents? That’s longer than “War and Peace” ( a mere 1,225 pages) and I doubt that any of those Committee Democrats have ever waded through Tolstoy’s novel to at least page 25, never mind read it. I would find it necessary to ask how much of it they have read, in fact, so that I could assess their dedication to a cause.<\/p>\n

But not to worry, GOPers are on it:<\/p>\n

“Republican leaders have labeled it nothing more than a stalling tactic. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, noted earlier this week that more than 258,000 pages of documents have been made available already.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason why we’re talking about the great paper chase is because, I think, our Democratic colleagues have found out all of their other attempts to undermine or to criticize this nominee have fallen flat,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd so now it’s just a question how much paper is going to be produced.\u201d – Article<\/p>\n

In addition, Democrats are now throwing up Manafort’s recent conviction, because (whimper) they simply want to delay the hearings, because (excuses) “… the Supreme Court could be pulled into legal proceedings against the president .”<\/p>\n

Well, why didn’t they think of that before? And what legal proceedings? (Gasp!) Are you talking ‘impeachment’, Mr. Reed? You know, when you’re trying to hide what you’re doing, it’s best to not hint at it even a little bit. Now there’s no surprise left, and dTrump already knows what you’re up to, anyway. \u00a0And how come two of you wusses wouldn’t vote to impeach Bill Clinton? Did he have you guys by the short hairs back then?<\/p>\n

GOPers are rebutting this as a delaying tactic. \u00a0Of course it is. The Democrats have essentially zip, zero, nada, rien,\u00a0nichego. You have to feel a little sorry for them. The way they grasp at straws is just sad.<\/p>\n

And the beat goes on….<\/p>\n
