        Pursuant to the Black SUV Rule, McConnell will decline to take up Kavanaugh's nomination.

        Not as a matter of course - federal judges (below #SCOTUS) get security details for specific reasons (e.g., threats, presiding over terrorism case, etc.).

        Replying to @DavidLat @peterbakernyt

        Perhaps more tellingly, the D.C. Circuit rushed out a 2-1 per curiam FOIA opinion with Kavanaugh in the majority an hour ago. They *always* release non-emergency opinions on Tuesday and Friday mornings.

        Replying to @pll1942 @DavidLat @peterbakernyt

        Then again, the opinion *does* begin: "This FOIA case has dragged on for a staggering 15 years . . . It is time to bring the case to an end," so maybe they just couldn't wait another day. (That's a joke.)

        This monstrosity of an injustice seems such a done deal that I almost don't care! I refuse to rise to this illegitimate president's teases about who the attractive, conservative winner of his sick pageant will be. I hate this man and abhor his believers. Vote Democratic!

        If this is any indication, it means that Senate Republicans wont give Judge Kavanaugh a hearing.
