This is about preventing a conservative justice from being added to the Supreme Court, nothing more.
Senate Democrats’ blatant abuse of the hearing process, their “delay, delay, delay†strategy, continues to pay dividends. Putting a stop to it would be long overdue.
Thursday was the day Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s manifestly meritorious nomination to the Supreme Court should have been voted out of the Senate Judiciary Committee and sent to the full Senate. Instead the nomination languishes because of an eleventh-hour stunt pulled by committee Democrats — led by ranking member Senator Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.).
Notwithstanding that Feinstein was well aware almost three months ago of a flimsily supported allegation against Kavanaugh — to wit, that 36 years ago, as a 17-year-old high school student, he groped and tried to force himself on a 15-year-old girl at an underage beer party — the senator sat on the information rather than submitting it to the hearing process. Although she met face-to-face with Kavanaugh and later questioned him when he was under oath at the hearing, Feinstein did not utter a word about the ancient, unverifiable claim to Kavanaugh.

No, it's not about a conservative justice, it's about appointing a Constitution following "orginalist" to the court. They are terrified of our Constitution and are doing everything possible to undermine and destroy it.

@Sanguine
Absolutely right! They are scared to death that he will get on the court and possibly influence the legal thinking of some already there!
