I'm kinda wondering about this Kavanaugh = Midterm Bait issue
I looked (not too hard) and I couldn't actually find any confirmation from Q drops that K is /ourguy/ in fact many things seem to indicate he's not really our guy.
Something was hinted that BK has to happen before [RR]. but that doesn't mean BK needs to be confirmed. Maybe BK is meant to rally the republicans to vote in anger and make the democrats look like pussy hat idiots, all of them, with no care for the law.
Remember Trump hinted that he was elected to hire good SC Justices? What if he really means that these elections, including his, was (in the eyes of the electorate) an effort to make sure we get Conservative Nominees? If so, why NOT delay till after the midterms, to make sure people are FIRED UP about it?
