The SCOTUS confirmation circus has begun....
What a bunch of BS.

Just press on and force the full vote in Senate ASAP. And WTF does the FBI have to do with this anyway, I say again?

He may have to give them their week... to get Collins, Murkowski, Flake.


"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Flake won't vote yea on the flooe vote without the delay and FBI investigation. He also hinted at other Republicans senators feel the same. We know who they are!

Not the committee's call to make. Wink

They voted to go to the floor. And it will Big Grin



You're missing the point. It doesn't matter what the committee accepts, if the leadership doesn't accommodate him, he may vote no when the confirmation comes up for a vote before the full senate. That's what he was saying. If there is no investigation, Flake will vote against the nomination in the full senate vote.

Looks like the Dems get their DELAY.

Flake is looking like a royal ass to me.

McConnel controls the motions now, its out of comittee. Grassley just slammed the gavel citing the 2 hour rule- Feinstein was shocked and said “What!?”. end of comittee, lol

Flake wants to run in 2020. This is what the "bring the country together" is all about.

floor vote on expeditious terms would be tuesday. just moves it it 3 days. They got it past committee, and they didnt agree to that. Flake just said he wanted the investigation or will vote no on the floor.

YAY!!!


He wants to be able to tell the dems that an FBI investigation was done, probably so they would finally stfu, and not hold that over Kavanaugh for the rest of his days.

We'll just have to wait more now. More delays. Ugh.

Nothing Flake did or said is binding on the full Senate, but presumably his Yes vote is contingent on satisfying his call for some sort of "FBI investigation" not to exceed 1 week.

It would be prudent for McConnell to accept that, but of course ANY issues raised in an FBI investigation would lead to demands for further delay.

It might be easier on the thread if you guys just waited a few minutes or hours for shit to actually happen or play out.

^^^^^ This he is holding his vote hostage if there is not yet one more week or delay.

Arizona please give us a conservative from your state to replace Flake, Goldwater must be rolling over in his grave!
