IF KAVANAUGH VOTE CAN BE DELAYED
Then no matter what, this is no nothing-burger!!
(Sorry for yelling.)
The way things have been going lately, with huge stories breaking daily, every single day that Kavanaugh is not yet on the SC is a win.
I cannot understand why there are so many posts on DU downplaying this! Is there a risk it's another Dan Rather situation? Of course, but: we are at the point where it behooves us to try *anything* to delay this confirmation! No matter what. Any effort we make now will pale in comparison to what we would have to do *later* to reverse this abomination!
We've been begging and screaming for the Dems to do something, and then Booker stepped up. Now DiFi does something and some people are dismissing it before really knowing any facts!
We are fighting a ground war right now, where every single inch of territory gained is a victory!

There's always the very slim possibility that what DiFi did was enough to let Kavanaugh know that there's something untoward about his past, that perhaps he had forgotten about or just simply hadn't considered, that might cause him embarrassment were it to be made public. Maybe he drops out because he doesn't want it known. 
Maybe this was the only hand left to be played. At least she tried.
