Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation
This..makes..no...sense. Flake offered to delay the confirmation for a week to force the GOP to let the FBI investigate, something they adamantly refused to do, but Coons should have just rejected the offer?
Scoobs, how quickly do you think that would have been leaked to the press by the GOP (that Dems turned down an FBI investigation)? Maybe a nanosecond?
The Democrats got played and they fell for it. Coons should never have entertained Flake's offer. He should have told him if you want to go for it you're on your own. Instead the Democrats overplayed their hand and the Republicans pulled off a sham investigation and got every female conservative amped up.
