If you were judging by Democrats’ tweets over the past 24 hours, you would assume that Brett Kavanaugh was the one who had his former lawyer reach a plea deal with federal prosecutors and his former campaign manager convicted on eight counts of fraud.
California Sen. Kamala Harris is the latest to tell us why yesterday’s news, which at this point is merely tangential to President Trump, is the reason why Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing should be delayed.
This President is an unindicted co-conspirator in a felony criminal investigation and should not have the ability to appoint someone to a lifetime position on the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh's hearing should be delayed until the investigation is resolved. pic.twitter.com/XosxY9DQ9q

“I believe that the future of our republic is very much in the balance.”
“I believe that the future of our democracy is very much in the balance.”
And we believe that Kamala Harris very much wants to be a future presidential candidate.
It’s driving you crazy that Harry Reid screwed you guys so badly. Kavanaugh will be confirmed. #DealWithIt https://t.co/wakkOFjFAL

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was unwavering when pressed about Kavanaugh’s nomination that his hearings will begin as scheduled, on September 4th.

And Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) confirms that the Kavanaugh hearings will not be delayed.
Grassley on Dems wanting to push back Kavanaugh hrng over Cohen: I’m not going to delay Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing. There’s no precedent for delaying a hearing in these circumstances.

So often, Democrats’ immediate reaction is to overreach, which nearly always ends up making them look ridiculous.
