This 1 week delay is only for show! This is to limit the poor optics for the Reps going into Nov 6.

I hope I’m wrong and something comes of this.

[brooklynite]

1. ...by having the eventual vote closer to Nov 6.?

[questionseverything]

8. by having a limited investigation...which is not good enough

we need to use the week to make sure every woman's story is heard

[bettyellen]

2. Also and opportunity for more very bad optics on Kavanaugh- bottom line?

They don’t have the votes right now- let’s work hard keep it that way.

[RockRaven]

3. At every step they're just trying to limit the cost of doing what they are dead set on doing

no matter what.

[questionseverything]

4. we need to rally around the other victims , to insist their stories be told

[budkin]

5. Any delay is good

Might not be much, but more time for us to call senators Collins and Murkowski. Plus more facts will come to light.

6. If that's the intention, it makes no sense to me.

It certainly helps keep the item in the news.

[triron]

7. Can FBI investigation be limited like this???

[avebury]

9. I wonder that if they come across evidence that a crime

might have been committed if they can then go outside the limitations that the Rethugs are going to set up for them.

I wish that Mueller's team could investigate as it seems like a move to obstruct justice by packing the court with a Judge that would, essentially, grant Trump unlimited power.

10. The more dirt that comes out on Kavanaugh, the harder it will be to confirm him.

I think there's plenty of dirt out there and somewhat of a roadmap as to where it is.

[scheming daemons]

11. A week is a lifetime in politics.... especially with guys like Avenatti working their angles

[Maeve]

12. +1 A lot can happen in a week eom

[JuJuYoshida]

13. it's only so they can figure out how to get out of this dumpster fire

[OrlandoDem2]

14. Thank you everyone. You've all raised good points.

I’m cautiously optimistic.
