"Can you prove God doesn't exist?"

"Maybe."

"What do you mean, 'maybe'? Either you can prove it or you can't!"

I think this phenomenon may be affecting the Republicans. Kavanaugh is looking worse and worse as time goes on, but Republicans are now behaving like Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Vacation, determined to get to the destination no matter what the consequences.

I certainly hope they pay the price for their irrationality.
