Democrats in the Senate will become apoplectic when it happens as will the liberals on this forum who will make their usual display of hysteria.

Re Nunes basically confirmed how tainted this nominee is. Add that to Merrick Garland and th fact that the GOP won't release files from the National Archives directly related to Kavanaugh written record and the whole thing stinks to high heaven.
The Democrats are trying to derail the nomination: they want it delayed until after the mid-terms. The Republicans have called them on this - Kavanugh will be confirmed.

Smart move. They need to do this, win the house/senate, and prepare for a much larger fight.
But it will upset the progressive wing - the crazy left as some may describe them who want a scorched earth policy when it comes to Kavanaugh.

Manchin and Heidi H have or will be meeting with him despite the general boycott by Democratic senators. I expect there will be at least 55 votes in favor.
How is reviewing policy documents penned by Kavanaugh derailing the nomination? This is a lifetime appointment and deserves proper diligence.
Everything about this upcoming Supreme Court nomination is hyper-politicized. It's happening in an election year, support for Brett M. Kavanaugh is falling largely along party lines, and it could firm up the court's 5-4 conservative majority in a way that has liberals worried they'll lose future fights over health care and abortion.
Viewed that way, it would be natural to see Senate Democrats' long-shot effort to extract documents from all of Kavanaugh's time as a top aide for George W. Bush as a politically driven effort to slow down his confirmation or a frantic reach for something — anything — that could throw a wrench in it.
They're asking for documents from Kavanaugh's time as Bush's staff secretary, a high-level position that made this Supreme Court nominee a human email inbox for the president, putting him in possession of nearly every document that reached the Oval Office from 2003-2006.
Republicans, who are in control of the process of requesting Kavanaugh's documents from the National Archives, have declined to delve that deep. They're looking at documents from Kavanaugh's time in the legal office of the White House from 2001-2003 but not his time as staff secretary.
Now Senate Democrats are going so far as to accuse them of hiding something in Kavanaugh's past.
