| Mitch McConnell Calls Dems' Bluff, Threatens Election Eve Vote on Kavanaugh |
| 2018-07-21 |
| BLUF: [Breitbart] Senate Democrats, led by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), are demanding documents, perhaps up to one million pages of them, spanning Kavanaugh’s career...... According to Politico, McConnell told Capitol Hill Republicans at meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday if the left persisted in these requests, he would delay the vote on Kavanaugh until late October or November, forcing vulnerable red state Democrats to vote up or down on Kavanaugh just before voters go to the polls. McConnell, by the same reports, reiterated his preference for a vote before the Senate’s October recess, which would allow Kavanaugh to take his seat before the opening of the Supreme Court’s main 2018-2019 session. |

| #5 So Mitch *can* act shrewdly. Pity he chooses to do it so seldom. |

| #4 Just appoint the man and hope it causes a stroke to Baader-Meinhof Ginsburg, and then appoint the third before the midterms. |
