And that appeared to have been McConnell’s position the weekend before Kavanaugh’s nomination. Overnight, it disappeared, and, fast-forward, here we are: The weekend before the confirmation hearing is to begin and we lack access to hundreds of thousands of his documents.

More from me tonight on the big-picture look at the fight over Kavanaugh's documents and how Republicans have been taking whatever steps they can to minimize the number of documents going out and to quickly move out the ones that are going out —>https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/1036459754149896192 …

Another night, another story on the 100,000+ pages of Kavanuagh documents that no one is going to get to see. Tonight, DOJ acknowledged that it made the call on which docs to withhold.https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/1036820727301898242 …

Further proof that the
@GOP does not work in 'Good Faith', nor do they follow rules. It's long past the time for the Dems to play the game with the same hardball rules. -
Long past time

Is there nothing Democrats can do? I’m so fucking sick of cheating Republican Senators. This is bullshit and McConnell and Grassley need a beating.

Yes, but what will Schumer DO about it? Fast-track the confirmations of more illegitimate Trump judges? Continue to refuse to use every weapon he has to fight Kavanaugh? Schumer is a paper tiger at best.
-
What weapon does he have?
-
Now that McCain is dead, holding out all 49 non-GOP Senators isn’t enough. He needs to buy or blackmail 1 GOP Senator. He could, for example, convince a retiring Senator like Corker and/or Flake.
-
Flake already is a yes vote.
-
I'm sure that if Schumer could convince one just ONE GOP Senator to vote no - or just postpone until all the information is available - he would.
-
Hopefully. All GOP wants to overturn Roe v Wade so it's a tough one.
-
They'll find another to overturn Roe vs. Wade, but Kavanaugh is also set up to be Trump's get out of jail free card.

"The makings of a cover-up..."? It already is a fucking cover-up!!! Kavanaugh's entire records must be released before any confirmation. Chump's DESPERATE to get him in place before the MidTerms - his last, sad attempt to get off, scott-free. As if.
