I can't imagine why the Republicans are still pushing him through. Their goal is to pack the court with conservatives, but putting Kavanaugh up will jeopardize this. His testimony through the entire conformation process has been sprinkled with lies, and every step the Republicans take to get this done just pisses off the Democrats more and more. The Senate election map is already not kind to the GOP in 2020 (even without the inevitable pissed off women voters), and with a few years of digging the press, or the Dems with subpoena power, can definitely unearth enough facts to prove the he perjured himself to the Senate during these hearings, either about the sexual assaults or other issues. If he gets on SCOTUS, I foresee a Democratic Congress impeaching him after 2020, when they can confirm either a liberal or moderate (if Trump manages to hold on, go forbid) to replace him. The Democrats will not forget this or Merrick Garland.
