Want to know why Trump and key Senators are frantically trying to get Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court immediately?

This is why the Republicans are trying to rush this through....
A key Republican senator has quietly weighed in on an upcoming Supreme Court case that could have important consequences for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
The Utah lawmaker Orrin Hatch, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, filed a 44-page amicus brief earlier this month in Gamble v. United States, a case that will consider whether the dual-sovereignty doctrine should be put to rest.

According to the brief he filed on September 11, Hatch believes the doctrine should be overturned. “The extensive federalization of criminal law has rendered ineffective the federalist underpinnings of the dual sovereignty doctrine,” his brief reads. “And its persistence impairs full realization of the Double Jeopardy Clause’s liberty protections.”

“Let me tell you this: I’m gonna start at an 11,” Damon shouts. “I’m gonna take it up to about a 15 REAL QUICK!” He said he practiced his speech “screaming into an empty bag of Doritos.”
