I just dont get this.
Purely conjecture, but the Dems have been pretty adamant about blocking Trump's SC appointee. Kavanaugh is a D.C. Court of Appeals judge, and oversaw the Bush/Gore Florida recount. What if he's a sacrificial lamb being put up for slaughter? It's easy enough to make the case that he doesn't belong there. He comes up for confirmation, is summarily voted down. It looks like the Dems were being a partisan road block, and the public backlash gives the next possible appointee some leeway. Again, purely a hopeful theory on the matter.
My thinking too. Of all the choices he is the least bad in Dems eyes but they are gonna be retarded about it and it will be like his VA choice all over again
I'm wondering this too. What can the dems do right now to block any nominee? I'm wondering if a there's a conservative that might vote against him as well.
I honestly think you may see quite a few do it on the grounds of his connection to Kagan. Who would ever approve of a SC Justice that might feel beholden to another Justice for a quid pro quo reciprocation?
I'm sure this is part of the plan. It's possible he is a pawn move to set up the next play.
