Is Kavanaugh In Trouble?

I've presumed that - in the end - Kavanaugh would be approved.  The proper Democratic strategy was to try and lay the groundwork for making Gorsuch/Kavanaugh illegitimate, considering the treatment of Merrick Garland.  However, Kavanaugh's personal life has eclipsed the profound secrecy of his professional life.  The man who would not release reams of documents from his time as a GOP operative is now being taken apart by accusations from decades ago.

What is fascinating is that it appears, for once, that Democrats are playing this right.  Despite whining from Republicans about how Feinstein sat on this (neglecting to note that she was following Prof. Blassey Ford's wishes), the timing was propitious.  Especially the delays by Prof. Blassey Ford that allowed for the Ramirez allegations to come forward.

Now, we have media creature Michael Avenetti coming forward with a third accuser.  Democrats are doing the right thing by not rushing to this shiny object.  Avenetti's track record suggests he has the goods, but his personality suggests he's simply grabbing the spotlight.  Let it play out.  Because the Republicans are vowing to "plow through" this, they are demonstrating a disregard for the accusations that Kavanaugh might have attempted to rape someone, anyone.  And they are doing this weeks before an election that promises to have a historic gender gap already. Even if Avenetti comes through with a third, credible accusation and that sinks Kavanaugh once and for all, the GOP has already committed to their defense of him.  They will attach themselves to his moral stink and the stink of his failure.

When even John Yoo says you might be wading into a minefield, you should take note.  We can finally abandon the pretense that the Supreme Court is not political.  Republican actions - with Merrick Garland and now with Brett Kavanaugh - have cemented that fact into our minds.  They used to be good at this sort of politics.  It seems to be crumbling before their eyes.

UPDATE: I really need to keep up with Albert Burneko.  This is golden.
