BREAKING NEWS From @SenFeinstein , Senator Leahy, And @SenatorDurbin : Documents Indicate That Kavanaugh Misled Senate; Make Them Public https://t.co/F01d23wMf7 pic.twitter.com/EjYnEiDUGs

Significant development —

3 Senate Dems say they have new evidence SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh was not truthful under oath in 2006 confirmation.

This is the kind of thing that would be the end of the road in the Senate for many nominees to even minor jobs. But for SCOTUS? https://t.co/8Db4RLXgZr

Sorry, Rachel: under normal circumstances this would cast - at the very least - a serious cloud on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination chances: but in the 115th Congress, under a Trump Administration, and the Senate controlled by Mitch McConnell?
*Shrugs* the best likely response…..
