The Democrats and their friends are trying to discourage conservative voters for the mid-terms. /Captain Obvious
This attack-Kavanaugh thing is about the mid-terms, most immediately.
Obviously the liberals are scared about the Supreme Court long-term. They know that RBG will likely not continue at her current rate of decline.
I know of an ‘accuser’ that has told me (and I believe it!) that RBG touched him in an inappropriate manner back in the ‘60’s.
If this works on appointees; then BYGOD it should work on a SITTING judge!!
