Surprise, Surprise! Fresh off the spineless Republicans delaying the confirmation vote for Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh – the Judge has been accused of yet another sexual assault claim of questionable authenticity.

Yesterday, CNN reported something that most of us already knew-- that Trump picked Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court because Kavanaugh has asserted that presidents are basically above the law.

Brett Cavanaugh by Nancy OhanianL.A. is packed with state legislators from around the country for conferences this week, including several friends of mine who I don't get to see often. Last night I had dinner with one and, as we were leaving Cafe Gratitude, he asked me how I thought the Kavanaugh thing would end. I think was looking for me to affirm his own optimism. I wish I could have. Do we have a shot? Sure.
