Good. He’s threatening to take it away from Grassley and put this straight on the floor.

Even if Kavanaugh is voted down we’ll know who the quislings are. Frankly I think a lot will not like the game of chicken and vote yea.

[tennmountainman]

Yep. Give Kavanaugh a up or down vote.
Enough of this nonsense.

Can McConnell put this to vote to the full Senate, even if the Committee does not have 11 ‘yes’ votes? Can he do so, regardless of whether Flake goes ‘present’ or ‘no’?

If there are a few Democrat no shows does it matter if we lose a fewGOP?

[Jaysin]

True but Grassley or some other GOPe on the judiciary committee can vote against kav on the floor vote as revenge.

Kavanaugh will get conformed, just hold the vote.

Good. He’s threatening to take it away from Grassley and put this straight on the floor.

Under the rules of The Senate Mitch McConnell has this absolute authority. If committee does not send it to the Senate Mitch will.

How would you like to be a democrat in a far right red state and vote against Kavenaugh and then face an election?

This is a done deal. Kavanaugh will be confirmed.
