Looks like it. Flake and Murkowski are very dishonest people. I think not only does Flake plan to vote “no” he planned this delay knowing it throw off other Senators. All to get back at POTUS.

They want us to vote and lose. Let it go until next Friday.

Sure, and meanwhile, the leftwing smear machine will manufacture more victims, while the Dems find even more reasons to delay the whole process even longer.

Give 'em an inch, and they'll take a mile.

i agree with this “Looks like it. Flake and Murkowski are very dishonest people. I think not only does Flake plan to vote “no” he planned this delay knowing it throw off other Senators. All to get back at POTUS.”

So - i am still confused. How did Arizona end up with McCain and Flake. This is a right wing state - what the heck is happening

Just proves that the GOP is the second biggest collection of ass-wipes on the planet!!!! LOL!

I wonder if all those FReepers who were gushing outrage and sympathy for Flake over his confrontation in the elevator have gotten over their butt-hurt yet?

Bwahahahahaha

BREAKING: Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) says Senate will vote to consider motion to proceed on Supreme Court nomination vote on Saturday.

He also said there WILL be a supplemental FBI Investigation.

The procedural vote on Saturday, would allow for a Cloture vote and Floor vote to follow. They wouldn’t have to delay to set up the procedural vote.

It looks like it will be, ok, we are moving forward with the vote, and the FBI can investigate as we go.

Flake needs to be more scared of those he’s betraying than Democrats. His life needs to be made a living hell.

What I said to Livius was, “I watched Trump being interviewed. He was very supportive of Kavanaugh, but basically said the situation was in the hands of the Senate, which it is.” I didn’t say anything about what Trump said about Ford......

If I was Kavanaugh I’d ask for the floor vote now. Make Collins, Murkowski and Flake vote no. Enough is enough.

Alex Bolton of TheHill tweets:

“Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) says the Senate GOP conference has reached “an accord” on how to proceed on Kavanaugh and will announce soon.”

Is Flake an idiot? I thought the FBI could not investigate this, because it should be looked at by Maryland investigators?

I think that is part of the Democrat scheme. Flake isn't bright enough to see it IMO. The first few days of the week time line with be a jurisdictional dispute. Ultimately, the FBI investigation will morph into an investigation by some Democrat-friendly Maryland officials who will immediately plead for more time to conduct the investigation.

Flake should not have opened that can of worms. A long delay is as predictable as the sun rising in the east tomorrow morning.

Democrats want payback for Merrick Garland and will scorch the earth to get it. Gorsuch didn't provide an opening to launch.

I'm sure there is a "have you ever committed a felony?" question on the background questionnaire.

Not accused, charged, or convicted mind you... COMMITTED. Pretty sure they have the same kind of question about misdemeanors and federal workplace rules/policies.

You said:

A few saying Trump said some words backing Ford. Nothing I am seeing says that. Looked on twitter.

I responded that the President's comment was already being aired on radio.

You’re a fool to trust the FBI. They are the enemy.

Is she? I lived in North Dakota when she first started for statewide office on the "I am woman" shtick. Then she added "breast cancer survivor" to her resume. She lost her first few races but kept running and started winning. She is a political animal and runs a good con job.

The oil boom finally freed North Dakotans from their addiction to government pork when they elected their first GOP senator back in 2010. But she has run for or been in statewide office continuously since 1984 with only brief intervals of appointment to some political position. No matter how she votes, she will be tough to beat.
