Kavanaugh is toast. So say I. Is it possible that the ratpublicans cannot put forward a SCOTUS

candidate who will pass both of these litmus tests.

1. Will vote as trump instructs.

2. Has not sexually assaulted anyone.

It is highly unlikely that any ratpublican candidate can sufficiently satisfy these limits. Face it, trumpism requires that you be a sexual idiot. This is why Kavanaugh appealed to trump.

In ratpublican senatorial households all over Washington I suspect there is an icy-ness as senators view their spouses across the dinner table and try to explain why they support a sexual predator.

Is there no one out there who can pass the test? No. So say I.

The odds as of today are still in favor of him being confirmed. McConnell and others have said they are going to do so.

If the recent tweets by Avanatti produce some other women and situations the chances really still only get better than just even that he won't be confirmed.

We're dealing with a completely, totally, morally corrupt set of people here.
