If Kavanaugh goes down, It’s near impossible to confirm a new nominee this year
8:52 PM 09/17/2018
Kevin Daley | Supreme Court Reporter
Should Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court fail because of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations, a new nominee likely cannot be confirmed before the end of the year.
Recent high court nominations were processed over a 67-day span, and there is little time left to move on a confirmation in the current Congress.
Should Democrats take control of the upper chamber, there could be a vacancy on the high court for years.
As Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court appeared in genuine peril Monday, Republicans are left to grapple with a second problem — confirming a new justice in the event of Kavanaugh’s defeat.
Should Kavanaugh’s nomination falter, the Trump administration has little hope of installing a new justice on the high court before the end of the year, and less still should Democrats seize control of the Senate in the midterm elections.
As The Daily Caller News Foundation fact checker Emily Larsen has shown, the Senate took an average of 67 days to confirm the last nine Supreme Court justices. Based on that schedule, time does not allow the Senate to confirm a replacement nominee ahead of the November midterm elections, particularly in view of the fact that President Donald Trump will likely take several days — if not considerably longer — to select a new candidate.
What’s more, embattled incumbents are unlikely to see much of Washington come October, as competitive races anchor lawmakers in their home states.

If Kavanaugh goes down from a vague, questionable teen-age allegation, the democrats will be even more emboldened to destroy our Constitution. Sickening, evil people.

If Kavanaugh goes down, that will be it for the midterms. If Republicans are STUPID enough to fall for this utter bullshit, then they do not deserve to be in office. If the Dems manage to do this tired old nonsense to them again for the 25 time, then the Republicans are simply too stupid to live. They need to go.

And who would want to put themselves thru this process should the Marxist succeed in destroying
Kavanaugh? Trumps next pick would likely be Amy Barrett. The thought of Amy Barrett on the SC
would drive the rats bat shit crazy. Since she is a real Christian.

There is absolutely no way Kavanaugh will get a fair hearing on Monday -- from Democrats or the Mainstream Media. Republicans are walking into a trap.

@austingirl
If the democrats are allowed to take Kavanaugh down with this BS the list of long-term effects is very long indeed.

The GOP has no faith in the collective intelligence of the American people, in spite of our demonstrated distrust of the media. They have learned nothing from the past several years.
