Judiciary Panel Approves Kavanaugh, sending nomination to full Senate

The Hill ^ | 9/28/2018 | Jordain Carney, Alexander Bolton

[conservativepoet]

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination on Friday after Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) secured a deal to delay a floor vote on the nomination for a week.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It gives the Rats a week to find new fake allegations.

[morphing libertarian]

grossly railroaded the vote to forward the nominee wto the floor. There is no way the committee can dictate what Mcconnel must do.

It was a sign of life from Grassley after a week of playing whack a mole with the dems

The FBI is supposed to have a deadline of 7 days to complete an investigation. The so called ‘victims’ will refuse to cooperate, their lawyers will say they don’t have enough time, Democrats will say they are being bullied. The FBI will have investigated little in 7 days. Dems will call for an extension, pointing out the FBI hasn’t interviewed all victims and witnesses (and failing to point out it’s because of a lack of cooperation).

[SoFloFreeper]

are you sure Flake said he is a “no” without the investigation? i did not hear that.

[faithhopecharity]

when the HELL is Flake leaving the Senate, anyway?
a date, please

a firm firm firm date please please

[morphing libertarian]

Mccionnell hasn’t given any one a week yet

[JMS]

Fine, investigate BJ Ford, Ramirez and CPL. Investigate the source if you want to get to the bottom of this.

[1Old Pro]

Next Friday before any vote happens, 100 more accusations and lying witnesses.

Flake is an embarrassment, perpetuating the hate, shameful.

[fortheDeclaration]

I hope all those Republicans who stayed home during the Ala. election are happy!

[AU72]

McConnell was going to hold a test vote Saturday to see if he has the votes to proceed with the confirmation.

[Georgia Girl 2]

With any luck they will all get Jeffie in the cloakroom and doubleteam him into a yes. He’s such a squish he blows with the wind.

[nuconvert]

The big lie is that an FBI investigation is going to somehow bring the country together. It will tear it apart even more.

[sarge83]

He learned well from his megalomaniac friend taking the dirt nap, McInsane.

McConnell does not have to abide by any of this nonsense. If he has the votes he should take it and tell Flake your dog crap in the senate, don’t ask for anything until you walk out the door. You are NOTHING.

[catnipman]

there’s no “deal” ... the committee does NOT control the floor vote ... only McConnell does that ... if he’s got the votes then he won’t delay ... period ...

[Sarah Barracuda]

Now it will be like send in the clowns..there will be 30 accusers by the weeks end

[Kazan]

Fine, investigate BJ Ford, Ramirez and CPL. Investigate the source if you want to get to the bottom of this.

You honestly don't think that will satisfy the Dems, do you? They will come up with more phony accusations and with another excuse to call for a delay.

[Shethink13]

Ok everybody. Summon the troops. We're gonna have a week for the "FBI" to investigate. That doesn't mean we can't also do our own investigation. Let's start digging now into the accuser. Somebody's got to have access to her now scrubbed social media posts. Her supposed therapist notes where she named Kavanaugh? or Gorsuch? The rumored comment she made "can't we find somebody to charge Kavanaugh with rape".

Gloves are OFF!!!!

[conservativepoet]

The committee cannot determine that the FBI gets involved. It’s only the condition to secure Flake’s vote on the floor.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Not positive on that but he Did vote to move it to the full Senate.

[cowboyusa]

PT is going to WV tomorrow. If Manchin votes no, he is done.
