Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam
I agree with this. There's credible evidence that he lied under oath- and specifically about using emails that were illicitly stolen from the DNC in what would amount to a cyber crime today. And now there's credible evidence of aggravated rape.
At this point, he really should withdraw. It's actually highly unlikely he could get 50 votes now anyway.
As to whether or not the GOP is actually going to push for it- that's iffy. The GOP fear is going to be that if they have to deal with a new nominee, it'll end up effectively pushing the vote back to after the elections- which is then easily pushed back until the end of the year. There aren't actually all that many legislative days left in the year (though legislative days are often longer than a day- it's a whole weird thing).
The concern is going to be that the already fired up Democrats are going to flood the polls if the nomination process looks like it might get kicked back until January. The GOP is heavily favored to keep control of the Senate, but there are several key races that are VERY close right now. Something like this could tilt things in favor of the Democrats.
Of course, as I pointed out before, pushing Kavanaugh through could also end up wasting time, could turn white suburban women against the GOP even more heavily, and there's still a significant chance he won't actually be confirmed. So that, in and of itself, could cause their worst-case scenario to happen.
They're not faced with a lot of great options right now.
Are you defending him? Fuck that guy. He's trash. No need for you to step up for him especially considering all the shit you all talk to me, T4f and Pk about defending each other. You're not the only one though. Forty was white knighting for PB the other day. Imagine that? Defending Pb. SMH
