Judge Nap Zings Dems for ‘Bitterness’ in Kavanaugh Hearings: Surprising ‘Lack of Civility’

‘They have obviously concluded that they lack the votes to defeat the Kavanaugh nomination’

EXCERPT:

NAPOLITANO: "I was quite surprised at the acerbic tone and the lack of civility that the Democrats fomented right from the start this morning. They are apparently still brooding over the manner in which judge Merrick Garland, President Obama’s nominee to replace the late Justice Scalia was treated by the Republican Senate two years ago, and they have obviously concluded that they lack the votes to defeat the Kavanaugh nomination. So, if you can’t interfere with a nomination, let’s interfere with the process. I’m not so sure that this plays well with the Democratic base, or even with Independence, but it probably does, as I think Chris Wallace pointed out, play more with their left-ish people out there. And they must have made a determination that this is what that crowd wants to hear, and this is what we are going to give them. But much of their complaints about Judge Kavanaugh are complaints about the person who nominated him, or the Supreme Court as it existed today, for neither of which he can bear any measure of responsibility whatsoever. I know Judge Kavanaugh; he is the guy next door. And Once he starts chatting, I think a lot of this bitterness will either go away or will seem childish by comparison.”
