Posted on 09/18/2018 1:34:33 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Six Senate Democrats filed a lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration on Monday to obtain records from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s time working for the Bush administration, according to a Buzzfeed News report.

Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Kamala Harris (D-CA) are requesting immediate court action to get the documents as soon as possible.

I know some people more liberal and moderate, and even they think this is a bunch of horse blank and a circus.

And now this Ford woman may not even show up to the hearing?

Does anyone doubt this whole thing was orchestrated from the get go?

Difi miscalculated. She hoped the FBI would run with this and didn’t expect a committee invite.

DiFi thought that all her allies were still there.

She also didn’t think Grassley would invite the woman to testify.

He called her bluff.

She will fold....................

Their only purpose is to delay consideration of the nomination by the committee and the full Senate for as long as possible. Justice delayed is justice denied.

The Supreme Court opens with just 8 members (again), which may only lead to deadlock. Maybe Justice Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg will die, thus making the balance 4-3.

I could live with that. Keep the staff at the reduced number until the Senate is a safe place for justice to prevail once more.

Nothing.

It’s not even a requirement.

The full Senate will vote regardless..................

The criminal communists Democrats will never let Kavanaugh sit on the SC bench. The Republicans have no idea how to fight the crime leaders in the Democratic Party. Communism is here to stay.

Hannity just said that Ford has refused to testify, unless the FBI opens a case against Kav, to investigate her claim against him.

In other words, she won't testify...not ever and never wanted to! All she ever wanted to do, was a hit&run smear, which she pulled off.

Maybe Chris Wray isn't so bad after all.

The FBI already looked into it and told DiFi there was nothing there.

Yes, I know that!

They also said that such claims were not in their purview! They stuck the claim in BK's folder; that was legally all they were allowed to do.
