looking at a Senate vote for confirmation on Monday, but we are not.

Suppose it’s good to be skeptical with GOPers, but I think they have to deliver a decent investigation. I think odds lean toward no confirmation of Kavanaugh, and a new nominee who is a woman and at least as right wing as Kavanaugh.

I think the real reason for the rush to vote is the fear that if the vote fails they will not have enough time for a lame duck appointment. With another week delay, it makes it less likely. If anything turns up in the investigation that requires further hearings then forget any lame duck appointments.
