There's a legal standard of preponderance of the evidence. I think we're close enough to that point. One woman claims Kavanaugh tried to rape her, another claims he pressed little Brett on her, and a third said he was drugging women so his friends could rape them. When there's enough smoke around, there's fire somewhere, and if I were a Republican Senator I would want nothing to do with this inferno.

It should be noted that I'm not advocating letting the seat be held open for two years or anything like that, so dumb that it should be unconstitutional. Barrett is qualified and really the best hope Trump has. 

You guys keep talking about a red wave, but I don't see it coming. Want to temper the blue wave? Put up a nominee who's very well qualified and can't possibly fall to #metoo, then watch as either the generational seat is filled or Democrats go down in flames while they trot out a victim who claims to have been turned into a newt by Barrett 20 years ago .
