Thanks, Becky. Wray and Kavanaugh were two years apart at Yale and ran in very tight circles. I wish it were not like this, ugh.

"Why don’t the Dems exhibit the same ruthlessness, clarity of purpose and moral obligation to their voters and the American people? Why always the proverbial knife at the gun-fight?" If we can answer that, and resolve it, we have a "fighting" chance.

That’s the big question right there

It is mind-boggling, MaryPat, that the Dems aren’t shouting very loudly about this. In fact, it’s maddening!

Well put!

It frustrates and angers me SO that this guy is on @Scotus. Our DOJ, anyone, must start a formal investigation. Great piece, Greg.

Keep on putting this out there. My bet is that there is such an investigation going on but for obvious reasons it is top secret.

Oh my. I LOVE this. Whenever I see his frat brat mug, I see Gaetz and his ilk too. One and the same.

I have given Garland a break up to this point, and the Dems. They need to get this absolutely right, including the timing.

I think Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer and Biden have a very big plan in place. And it involves charging Giuliani, Flynn, Bannon and Stone with treason - and then doing the same for 8-12 senators and 12-20 House members.

The indictment of Giuliani will probably come first - in September.

I certainly hope so. There ARE indications that stuff is moving. But I've seen no indications about Kavanaugh.

But once those GOP folks are removed from Congress it makes a hearing and impeachment of Kavanaugh much easier.

And then we put 4 or 6 (my preference) more justices on the Court. Making it 10-5 in our favor.

It's mid October--still not indicted but Rudy has all but disappeared from public view.

I know....

There are so many crimes. So much evidence. I don't know why they don't hit several of them with the easiest indictments.

Perhaps they're waiting for the indictments where they could ensure that the person does not get bail? Because that would put the fear of God into some of them.

Or is it because there are so many booby-traps laid down by the Rosensteins and other professional fuqqerists?

I really don't know.

'... Kavanaugh has long been concerned with appearances. He remains torn between his allegiance to conservative backers from his 2018 nomination fight and his desire for acceptance among the legal elites who shunned him. ...'
