Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) defied the mob of protesters yesterday by deciding to side with the Rule of Law and now supports Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court. She delivered a very reasoned and logical speech from the floor of the Senate shortly after 3pm EDT on Friday. Collins made the case that there is no evidence of any wrong doing by Kavanaugh, therefore, the tradition of innocent until proven guilty must stand. She also gave a critique on the general lack of civility by the institution of the Senate, and of American politics in general.
The Democrats pulled out all stops to oppose Brett Kavanaugh. The most foul forms of mud were thrown and some laws may even have been broken. If we ever get a functional DOJ and FBI in the near future, there nay yet be investigations into witness tampering, the leaking of confidential material and perhaps even some legal malpractice committed by the opponents of Kavanaugh. As for the hordes of angry protesters, some shocking video, shown below, shows how the mobs were coached to say and do what they did.
The good news is that the Democrats have hung themselves, politically. Their efforts have backfired, as well as failed. Kavanaugh will be confirmed later on Saturday, sometime after 5pm EDT, probably by a vote of 50-48. Joe Manchin (D-WV) will vote for Kavanaugh and Lisa Murlowski (R-AK) will vote present, essentially a non-vote. Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) will be absent as he attends the wedding of his daughter today. Daines was prepared to fly back if needed, but a deal was cut by Mitch McConnell to have Murkowski vote present instead of voting no.
The impact of the Democrats excessive overkill will have ramifications in 4 weeks during the 2018 midterm elections. Republican candidates are surging in several states, which could translate to a gain of 3 or 4 seats in the Senate. Many House races are also shifting rapidly as polls become tighter. The much ballyhooed ″Blue Wave″ is shrinking fast as citizens have been revolted by the tactics of the Democrats. Even President Trump′s approval numbers have climbed in the past week. The Kavanaugh gambit by Democrats has resulted in a total failure, which could cost them very dearly for the next few elections.
