This is How the FBI Investigation will Help Brett Kavanaugh

By

At The American Spectator, Dov Fischer explains why one more frustrating week helps Kavanaugh and the GOP. Fischer says the weeklong delay for an FBI investigation will give those on-the-fence about Judge Brett Kavanaugh the cover to support his nomination.

Kavanaugh Nomination Goes to the Full Senate – Pending FBI Investigation

By

After he answered thousands of questions, and endured hours of hearings, Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination has been approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee and will move forward to the full Senate for a vote.

By

Finally, the Kavanaugh/Ford spectacle is over. Ms. Ford was unable to muster evidence on her claim of sexual assault by Brett Kavanaugh.

Because having that diary enabled Judge Kavanaugh to forcefully refute Ford’s charges, without a doubt. Because he was not there […]

Dimwitted Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is an Embarrassment

By

The incompetence of Senate Democrats was on full display yesterday in Diane Feinstein’s disgraceful pursuance of the Ford/Kavanaugh witch hunt. Senators like Rhode Island’s Sheldon Whitehouse—with his pathetic year-book line of questioning—were a complete embarrassment. And no doubt making Rhode Islanders reconsider their vote for his seat this November. Rightfully so. Because the right choice […]

Why Democrats Are Really Attacking Brett Kavanaugh

By

The Editorial Board of The Wall Street Journal gets to the heart of the matter. Democrats don’t care about Christine Blasey Ford, they simply want to delay a vote on Brett Kavanaugh or any other Trump nominee until after the election, so vulnerable Democrat senators, like Heidi Heitkamp, Joe Manchin and Jon Tester aren’t forced […]
