Dude. NEVER let the media get inside your brain. I thought you knew better.
We can break it down plenty good right here.

p.s. Yes, the committee voted the nomination out of committee to the full floor. But the derps got Flake to flip and make noise about an FBI investigation (delay), with his vote contingent. The derps tried to make it an "amendment" to the recommendation to the floor (Feinstein).
Grassley scuttled that mess and called the vote. Flake voted yes (looked like he was about to cry). Once the vote was in, Grassley hauled ass, citing the "two hour rule", which I think he made up on the spot(hahaha). When he gaveled the meeting closed, Feinstein was all like, "What"?
BOOM
p.s. They still got Flake's FBI talking point, and they will use it strongly, have no doubt.

Dems will be ecstatic. They think they have bought another week. During that week, Dems will continue to unleash, day after day, more and more crap about Judge K, new women, new claims, all false and unsubstantiated and repeated breathlessly, until eventually they wear down Collins and Murkowski. In another week, it will be something new that has to be investigated before they can vote. Guarantee it.
Hopefully, McConnell is not as stupid as Grassley.
Thanks for the ‘splainin’. So, the Senate could just go ahead and hold the vote, no FBI queered investigation needed, as long as they are assured they can replace Flake’s vote with someone else? And use Pence as the tie breaker, should it come to that?

Will be finding out what leverage the turtle has.
Demoncrats are desperate to delay, the FISA declassify will destroy them.
"One of the Senate's standing rules, the two-hour rule requires the consent of both the majority and minority party leaders to continue committee meetings more than two hours after the Senate convenes."
Apparently the majority party withdrew its consent and adjourned. Maybe we should rethink our views on Grassley.
