You're probably right, and I agree (and stated so upthread) that she needs to testify once she went public (geez, was that only 5 days ago?). But what ammunition McConnell gave her (and the Ds) when she does testify, and regardless of what is said (she may be a terrible witness), they install Kavanaugh anyway. I think it was a boneheaded statement, he had to expect it would be leaked. Brag after you get it done, or even better don't brag at all. Didn't he read the Tao Te Ching?
