So the Rod Rosenstein hearsay (or is it heresy?) suggests Trump is unfit for office and the 25th amendment was considered. And team Brett Kavanaugh behavior suggests he is unfit for SCOTUS But hard to imagine the Rosenstein story drops if Kavanaugh is sailing through. Whether it’s the Mueller probe, or Kavanaugh rough waters, looks like Trump wants a pretext to change topic… and fire Mueller. xIdea that 25th Amendment could be used to remove Trump is bizarre â requires BOTH House & Senate to affirm with 2/3rd vote.

Kavanaugh’s accuser says she doesn’t want to testify in the Senate without firsthaving her claims investigated by the FBI is she doesn’t think she’ll be treated objectively and fairly by politicians. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) just thoroughly justified Christine Blasey Ford’s concerns. In comments Friday, he laid plain his intention to put Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, apparently no matter what Ford has to share. “Here’s what I want to tell you,” McConnell said Friday morning at a summit for social conservatives. “In the very near future, Judge Kavanaugh will be on the U.S. Supreme Court. So, my friends, keep the faith. Don’t get rattled by all this. We’re going to plow right through it and do our job.” There is no other way to read McConnell’s comment other than that the Ford allegation doesn’t matter to him, at least not when he’s so close to fulfilling his goal of firming up the Supreme Court’s 5-to-4 conservative majority weeks before an election.
