GAME ON – AT 7:45 P.M. ET:  As they say, it's must-see TV.   The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold an open, televised hearing next Monday featuring testimony by Christine Blasey Ford, who is accusing Judge Kavanaugh of attempted sexual assault, and Judge Kavanaugh himself.  I already hear the music from "High Noon."  From CNN:

Washington (CNN) The Republican leader of the Senate Judiciary Committee said on Monday he would convene remarkable new public hearings in a week's time after sexual assault allegations emerged against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Both Kavanaugh and the woman who has accused him of physical and sexual assault, Christine Blasey Ford, will testify before the panel, setting up a blockbuster event that could decide Kavanaugh's fate.

The announcement, made under pressure from lawmakers to fully examine the new claims, will delay what had been a glide path toward confirmation for President Donald Trump's nominee. The political stakes for the White House and members of Congress are enormous as the #MeToo movement galvanizes women ahead of key congressional elections in November.

Kavanaugh spent more than nine hours at the White House Monday, huddling behind closed doors with his confirmation team.

An official working closely with his team described Kavanaugh as "shaken, but focused," with the conversation revolving around "defending his integrity."

COMMENT:  Get ready for a circus.  The Democrats are already acting badly, refusing to cooperate in anything until they're assured of an FBI investigation, which is absurd.  Kavanaugh has already gone through six FBI background checks, which always include probes into possible criminal behavior, and no issues have been found.

The White House was very careful today to show respect for the accuser, yet praise Judge Kavanaugh's flawless record.  They should not expect any kindness or understanding in return.  The leftist Democrats opposing Judge Kavanaugh are not warm or kind or fair.  They're deadly.
