This confirmation shitshow continues to plumb new depths, but amidst the Democrat smokescreens and character assassinations, a new division has risen among the die-hard holdouts among the Quisling Never Trumpers.
Strange as it may seem at this late hour, some of the most strident Trump-haters are now 'coming home' and backing Kavanaugh. Apparently, even paid political whores have a moral line they won't cross.
Of course, not all of the Fredocons have seen the light. Noted dipstick turned Democrat cheerleader Jen Rubin is firmly against the GOP, and former enfant terrible Jonah Goldberg is now eagerly waving the white flag and trying to sell the "hey, why don't we have the FBI investigate it" bullshit.
There are two problems with Goldberg's argument. The first is that the FBI has already done investigations of Kavanaugh. Six of them, in fact.
But more to the point, we now know that the FBI is hopelessly compromised, shot through with hacks and partisans. I'd no more trust the FBI's word than loan my car to a drunk incapable of standing up under his own power. I wouldn't trust the FBI with a burnt match.
This is likely the final parting of ways for the Vichy Conservatives. Those who utterly despise Trump but still hope for a constitutional majority of the Supreme Court have swallowed their bile and signed on to defend Kavanaugh from the Democrat slime machine.
The rest have made it clear that nothing - not a conservative majority, not their precious principles, not even their self respect - matters more than harming Donald Trump.
Alternatively, they've dropped the mask and are revealing the con they've been playing.
Either way, to hell with them.
Trump should have nominated another Gorsuch. At least that guy didn't have baggage.
