Turns out the "FBI Investigation" is a joke, but it will allow Kavanaugh to be confirmed on a largely party-line vote. I would expect Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp to fall in line behind Collins, Flake and Murkowski, because they are cowards. This result could have been predicted by basically anyone who has been paying attention to the GOP and the three squishes in the middle.
The hope - and it was a forlorn one from the start - was that additional allegations against Kavanaugh would come to light in the intervening time period. What was always a sucker's game was that the FBI - limited by time and the White House - would conduct a thorough investigation as to whether A) Kavanaugh assaulted Blassey Ford and B) whether Kavanaugh perjured himself before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Despite ample evidence that Kavanaugh failed to be truthful to the SJC (far less truthful than Bill Clinton was during his deposition that led to his impeachment, championed by Kavanaugh), he will be confirmed.
The Supreme Court crisis of legitimacy is upon us.
