Democrats moving the goalposts on Kavanaugh, again and again
By Monica Showalter
The latest on the Supreme Court confirmation saga of Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a doozy, according to this headline from the Washington Post: "Woman who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault wants FBI to investigate incident before she testifies to Senate."
That's because it represents yet another effort to move the goalposts in wrapping up this nomination for the Supreme Court. They've done that a lot, something like four times. None of us is dumb. We all know that the Democrats' plan is to run out the clock on the nomination and hope the Senate shifts to the Democrats at the midterms to ensure that only a leftist can be seated on the high court. If that means ruining an innocent man's life with an unprovable charge, well, that's something the left's comfortable with, because Kavanaugh is a Republican, and not just any Republican, but the worst kind in their books: a Trump nominee.
Small wonder that even the GOP moderates with no love for Trump, such as Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, are starting to catch on to this Lucy-pull-the-football maneuver and are getting sick of it.
We have come a long way around the bend with this charge, and the goalposts are still moving around. We haven't even been at this a week, and have seen something like four or five shifts in getting the confirmation off the ground.
