All of this points to the absurdity of the whole affair. And after all, we are talking about the next Supreme Court Justice here so it is proper to frame the discussion in legal terms, which is what we have, in our limited ability, attempted to do and certainly has and will be what Dems have done.

Dems are desperate to derail this confirmation, but all they could come up with to make that happen so far were the ridiculousness of the Ford charges. There was, at the point of the initial close of the judiciary committee's work, no corroboration for Prof Ford. Following that there was after the past two weeks of rabid chipmunkery, still no corroboration. So the one thing desperate Dems still lack is a credible witness.

Like Republicans on the committee, the Democrats have their judicial investigators also. And according to reports these Dems have been very proactive out turning over every rock in their attempts to find something. To that end scores of potential witnesses relative to Judge Kavanaugh and Prof Ford's past have been contacted. Thus in such manner, with the investigative assistance of the Dem's investigators, they could pass along a 'tip' to the FBI, which could then be followed up on. Hence the new focus likely to come from the left will be to broaden the newly launched investigation.
