      Opposition to Kavanaugh grows, support at historic low. Reuters poll has just 31% of US adults in favor of Kavanaugh, fewer than 2/3 of Republicans (64%) https://reut.rs/2xqv3wo

      Notable: Sen. Doug Jones, elected in the midst of the Roy Moore scandal, says the Judiciary Committee should subpoena Mark Judge to testify.https://twitter.com/DougJones/status/1042461456980213760 …

      We need to take the time to gather all of the facts around these allegations. That means we need to also hear from Mark Judge. The Judiciary Committee should subpoena him if he refuses to testify. https://twitter.com/Acosta/status/1042161552307171329 …

      This is why it is entirely reasonable for Dr. Ford to request time. She's about to come up against a highly sophisticated, very effective machine designed to destroy her credibility. The faster they can make her do it, and the fewer facts available, the harder it will be for her. https://twitter.com/KFILE/status/1042452517060259842 …

      Chris Geidner Retweeted Tarini Parti

      Trump sure comes awful close to saying that the allegation against Kavanaugh is made up in that Hill interview. See this thread from @tparti —>https://twitter.com/tparti/status/1042495064222691329?s=21 …

      Chris Geidner added,

      Tarini PartiVerified account @tparti
      Trump goes on to compare the allegations against Kavanaugh to the Russia investigation. "This is no different than the Russian witch hunt, what they’ve done is they make up a lot of stuff and try and obstruct and resist."

      One odd point: This letter — from the Senate Judiciary Committee chair to the Dems on the committee — was distributed by the White House, via pool.

      A second point: Grassley focuses on these points about the FBI background investigation process, but never notes whether the White House could ask the FBI to do additional investigation. Bloomberg has reported they can. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-17/white-house-is-said-not-to-ask-fbi-to-vet-kavanaugh-allegations …pic.twitter.com/VENZIbmAEI

          Replying to @chrisgeidner @WandaFischer

          The FBI has already done a background investigation. Now it needs to be reopened in lite of a new accusation. Investigate the accusation, and the background investigation can once again be complete. No moving forward until then.

          Particularly now that Ford has received death threats and had her email hacked. That gives them an opening even without WH request.

          An FBI investigation would not have any impact on Dr. Ford's testimony. It's her story. She doesn't need the FBI to tell it.

          Implicit premise of your tweet is that we can assume that the allegations are true and he'll still be confirmed. True?
