GOP veterans of the wild Kavanaugh rumpus credit Democratic tactics with the Senate victories that are making Barrett’s confirmation possible.
“President Trump should give Chuck Schumer a Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Schumer-led utter buffoonery during the Kavanaugh confirmation forced four Senate Democrats into early retirement—and guaranteed that a Justice Amy Coney Barrett joins the new 6-3 Clarence Thomas Court,” said Mike Davis, a former Republican Senate lawyer who now runs an advocacy group that supports Trump judicial nominees.
