And in doing so, he's shown he can deliver a Trump-like broadside against detractors even if it casts him in a potentially partisan light.
U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos announced her intention this week to run for a leadership position in the House of Representatives if Democrats retake control of the chamber in January.

If the FBI finds nothing to support Christine Blasey Ford's testimony that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party, will it be enough for Democrats to vote to confirm him? Republicans say the investigation is limited to her charge and that of a third accuser, Julie Swetnick, whose allegations, detailed in a sworn affidavit, claim she was the victim of gang rape. How many more will come forward? These are delay tactics to get through the November election.

The nomination of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court has exposed just how far the Senate has drifted from the rules of decorum that once elevated senatorial prerogative over party, leaving behind the kind of smash-mouth partisan politics that have long dominated the unruly House. Senate rules dating back to Thomas Jefferson mandate that lawmakers refer to each other by state and title - "my good friend, the senator from California" - and forbid members from questioning motives, maligning a home state or imputing "to another senator or to other senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a senator."
What took place in a Senate Hearing Room, on September 28, 2018, will go down in American history as one the most sordid, outrageous, abjectly shameless, and disgusting episodes in U.S. Senate history.

President Donald Trump said Monday he wants the FBI to do a "comprehensive" investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by Brett Kavanaugh. But he also said he stands by his Supreme Court nominee "all the way."
Republicans are eagerly calling for an investigation who leaked Christine Blasey Ford's letter that accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, focusing particularly on Sen.
