McConnell: Dems Will Not Be Satisfied Unless They Have Brought Down Judge Kavanaugh’s Nomination

EXCERPT:

McCONNELL: "These statements remind us, Democrats may be trying to move the goalpost every five minutes, but their goal has not moved an inch. They will not be satisfied unless they have brought down Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination. It started with straightforward political maneuvering. None of it worked, of course. But whatever excuses they could find to delay, delay, delay. First, back in June, the Democrats tried to argue the Senate shouldn’t confirm a Supreme Court justice in any even-numbered year. Any even-numbered year. Then they were reminded that Justice Kagan, Breyer, and Souter were all confirmed during midterm election years and that argument evaporated. Next, Democrats said the process should be delayed because too few documents were available from Judge Kavanaugh’s past public service. Well, then they received the most pages of documents ever produced for a Supreme Court nomination, so guess what came next? The goalpost moved down the field and the Democrats called for delay because there were too many documents for them to read. I wish this fight could have remained in the realm of normalcy, but when none of these tactics worked, when Judge Kavanaugh demonstrated his widely acknowledged brilliance, open-mindedness and collegiality at his confirmation hearings, some chose a darker road. The politics of personal destruction were willfully unleashed.”
