allegations against kavanagh, could these new allegations potentially be a game changer and force the committee to hit the pause button and investigate these allegations? >> well, the committee really can't afford any more delays. the senate goes out of session for the elections on the 26th of october. and really, between now and then, if the senate needed to have further questioning and scrutiny that had to go through the committee and then on to the senate floor, and really we could get to a point where we get up to the elections without a final vote on the senate floor of the nominee, i suspect that's what the democrats might be hoping happens, that they delay this sufficiently that then the elections happen, and then they maybe make it politically impossible for a new nominee to get through in the lame duck session. there's been precedent for this.
