Democrats can make a deal with McConnell and Republicans.

Republicans can complete this investigation of Kavanaugh or they can rush through his nomination. If they do not wish to complete this investigation of Kavanaugh, then Democrats will have no choice but to continue the investigation if they win back the Senate. Republicans should understand that the Democrats will move to impeach if the evidence shows he should not have been nominated in such a rush. They can do it right this time or expect a re-do later.

All the justices confirmed by this body should be investigated. The problem is, we tend to end up with leaders who want to look forward, not back.

Dems might gain a majority in the Senate, but a simple majority can't remove a Supreme Court justice. So, no re-do.

Stop it now, or it's a sweet job for life for this gambling-addicted misogynist pro-lifer.
