As the hearing for Judge Brett Kavanaugh gets underway this morning, Joe Manchin is still waiting for Chuck Schumer’s permission to listen to West Virginians and announce he’s voting yes.

Schumer and Washington Democrats have been clear about their strategy on Judge Kavanaugh. Red state Democrats like Manchin were instructed to “Keep your powder dry. Don’t commit. Stay as neutral as you can, as long as you can,” while their liberal colleagues tried their hardest to derail Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination. And Manchin has been a loyal soldier, refusing to announce his support for the eminently qualified judge.

With Democrats feigning outrage and disrupting Judge Kavanaugh’s hearing this morning, it’s time for Manchin to get off the fence and stop playing along with Schumer’s political games.
