Monday Short Cuts

“It doesn’t matter what sheep’s clothing the wolf comes in; the wolf is always delay.” —Andrew McCarthy

For the record: “From the start of the confirmation proceedings on Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court … Senate Democrats have … pushed for delay. At every turn. … It doesn’t matter what sheep’s clothing the wolf comes in; the wolf is always delay. When they say, ‘We’re protecting survivors,’ they mean, ‘We want delay.’ When they posture that ‘women must be believed,’ their aim is more delay. When they say, ‘The FBI must investigate to remove any cloud over the nominee,’ the translation is: ‘Give us a delay so we can come up with new reasons for delay.’” —Andrew McCarthy

Exactly: “[This] week’s debate: [Republicans]: ‘The FBI investigated this and found nothing.’ Dems: ‘Everybody knows the FBI doesn’t reach conclusions!’” — Philip Klein

Upright: “A good first test of whether to take the Democratic/media talking point of ‘temperament’ against Kavanaugh seriously is to find out if they think the entire political media class should step down for their daily temperament issues.” —Mollie Hemingway

Pot calling the kettle black: “Small lies matter, even about yearbooks. From the standard jury instruction: ‘If a witness is shown knowingly to have testified falsely about any material matter, you have a right to distrust such witness’ other testimony and you may reject all the testimony of that witness…‘” —fired FBI director and Clinton probe mishandler James Comey

Seventh probe’s the charm? “The reason I think the Republicans do not want the truth to come forth from the FBI is because the truth will reveal that Judge Kavanaugh has not been truthful.” —House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

Braying Jenny I: “I’m hoping that Judge Kavanaugh will not be a justice on the Supreme Court. … I’m ever hopeful of an intervention, prayerful of a divine intervention.” —Nancy Pelosi, who like Kavanaugh is Catholic

Braying Jenny II: “He came out at that hearing, which was shocking to me — that he would accuse Democrats of a vast conspiracy to do him in and even dragged in Hillary Clinton. I found that bizarre. But we hardly need somebody on the Supreme Court who has these conspiracy theory notions.” —Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), who surely agreed with Hillary Clinton when she cited a “vast wing-right conspiracy” to shield Bill’s improprieties in the '90s

And last… “As the past three years have demonstrated, nothing brings the country together like FBI investigations.” —Ben Shapiro
