I think that Kavanaugh is a foregone conclusion. And I'm even more convinced of it given the latest polls. The House is lost and the Senate is looking dangerously in play. My guess is that the GOP has given up on the midterms, at least privately, and they know full well that confirming Kavanaugh will be the last nail in the coffin. The left and any reasonable woman will be outraged, the right will have their justice and no real reason to get off their asses and vote. So they get SCOTUS and lose their ability to govern in one fell swoop. Given that they have aptly demonstrated that they are a party that is unable to govern anyway, it's not the worst result. Plus, the cynic in me also thinks that the establishment GOP, or what's left of it, doesn't mind a useless lame duck Trump for the next 2 years as they'll all be running against him. He wasn't, a "real" conservative, he was actually a Democrat all along, it's not Conservatism that's failed you voters, blah blah blah.
As soon as Dems are in control, expand the size of the court by 2 more justices and stick it to them. The Republicans play to win, about time the Dems did the same.
