Meh, she's doing a good job of trying to tamp down the sure to come protests (for what good it'll do), and making the case to her fellow Senators. I think she's doing a good job here...provided she votes yes.

30 hour rule.
Under cloture, the Senate may limit consideration of a pending matter to 30 additional hours of debate.

If no one else wanted to speak... he could call the vote. But I don't think he would because they aren't all on the floor. As a practical matter, he has to schedule the vote.

"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."

I think her speech is actually a good defense of Kavanaugh...

Just the facts.

I appreciate very much what she is saying. She is destroying every unreasonable objection towards Judge Kavanaugh.

Sen. Collins is speaking now. So far, she sounds like a "Yes".

She's a Yes"; but I find it deeply disturbing that she feels the need to tiptoe around the obvious fact that Ford's allegations were delusional crap, and then has to go on a talk about the nationwide "problems of sexual abuse".

It was a delusional accusation by a nutcase. Case closed.

It seems pretty clear that Collins is a yes. She has perfectly laid out the case for Kavanaugh and has done so eloquently.

Excellent. She is now trashing the dems for exposing Ford for political gains. Saying the dems really didn't care about her well being at all.

Collins is delusional. Why do these people keep paying lip service to Ford and her unfounded story? Say yes or no and get off the damn stage lady.

She's a pinhead and a blabber mouth, but she at least researched his judicial past.

She's in full cover-my-ass mode now.

Just say yes and go home shakie.

I think she was prattling on, hoping the protesters would get tired, give up and go home instead of hanging around her office
