I will say, though, that according to Ronan Farrow's reporting, the GOP leadership in the Senate and White House was aware of the second allegation prior to the reporting of it, and it was after that there was a push to get the vote through before the second allegation was made public. Agree or disagree with the timeline, that looks bad.

I think there is a split in the GOP on this issue, Kavanaugh in general, right now. McConnell didn't want him because of the baggage, and there are probably plenty of others that feel the same. This has probably caused a lot of the issues with this because if they wanted to they could'v'e just made this happen. There is nothing the Democrats could do to stop it if the GOP Senators were all behind him.

So you're saying Trump picked another "best person"?

See I'd agree entirely about the Democrats trying to push a narrative of "rushing" if only because of the Garland situation.  Comparatively they will always be "rushing"...but Kavanaugh has baggage and that is the GOP's fault for not picking a cleaner guy.
