They seem like they're lined up right behind him - and are willing to push it through. There's probably a sense that the midterms are going to be shit for them anyway so they might as well push this confirmation through come hell or high water.

dorlomin Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Quote 7m ago 13:35 Republicans have said the Senate judiciary committee will vote on the supreme court nomination as scheduled, just a day after after the extraordinary Capitol Hill testimony. The committee is due to meet at 9:30am ET (2.30pm BST), and the vote is expected later. It isn’t clear whether Republicans will have enough support to carry the nomination forward to a full vote of the Senate next week. Republicans are under pressure to get Kavanaugh in place before mid-term elections in November, when Democrats are hoping to take control of the Senate, which might allow them to halt the process. From the Guardian live blog. Id give it 70% chance they will carry it through but I can see Flake turning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flake has nailed his colours to the mast. The question is now how much of this has penetrated beyond the usual political nerd bubble in the US. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just played his "I'm just a country lawyer but I know my buddy Brett is a good man" spiel. And it was the dems what did it. Sounded nervous that Flake might flip.

There's surely got to be a step to actually investigate things before giving people powerful jobs for life. This isn't them saying there's insufficient evidence, this is them not returning the calls (and lying about it) of multiple leads and stating unequivocally that their man didn't do it so there is no need to stall a vote that will likely make him untouchable for the rest of his life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Can't abide Cory Booker, what a ham. By the way Mark Judge, the only 3rd party witness who is too damaged to speak in public or be interviewed is available for media and speaking engagements. https://www.encounterbooks.com/authors/mark-g-judge/ Edited September 28, 2018 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
