This one week delay was widely expected.
I just heard on tv that the story may go back to when the judge was in high school.
He will be confirmed.
The Dismals are just stalling for time, get their stashed finds offshore, and their new identities in order, because as soon as Brett gets the nod ......
FISA-GATE!
POTUS will let loose the dogs of declassification.
Just waiting on Kavanaugh.
High school does NOT matter. Few are the same people at 40 that they were in high school.
so Grassley caves..
Pathetic.
Not exactly people you want in a foxhole with you, that's for sure.
FBI just shit canned the letter. A nothing burger. Why do Republicans cave? I’d have the vote tomorrow. F democrats.
Well, it takes time and effort for the Rats to Slander the Judge and convince some weak Kneed RINO Senator that the Judge is the Spawn of Satan.
The have to plant lots of evidence and convince a Liberal Female who ran into the Judge in an Elevator that he said or did something to offend them.
You know, like saying, hello, I’m Judge Kavanaugh, nice to meet you.
Of course they caved. They’re Republicans.
This is clickbait from LifeNews.
The vote was scheduled for next week.
The Republicans should have never caved. Diane Feinstein has reportedly had this letter since July. She could have brought it up then, but she didn’t. She could have brought it up when she met with Judge Kavanaugh, but she didn’t. She could have brought it up at the confirmation hearings, but she didn’t. Nobody even knows the contents of the letter, who authored it, or what is being alleged, but the Republicans still agreed to a delay. Unbelievable!
ENOUGH ALREADY!
ANY Senator can request a one week delay of the vote for any reason. This move was widely expected.
The Committee vote will be on the 20th.
SOP
No, Grassley didn’t cave.
He planned for this one week delay because he knew the RATs could call for it by the committee rules.
The committee vote will take place on the 20th and the full Senate will vote the last week of the month.
In fact, to prove my assertion, note the text in this article from 5 days ago, from NPR
“Friday, the Senate Judiciary Committee wrapped up four days of hearings on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. The committee is likely to vote on Kavanaugh in about two weeks.”
So, the News Misleadia falsely reports the scheduled two-week-away,one-week-ago vote as a victory for the Democrats, and everyone falls for it.
I bet the day before the vote, CBS news will breathlessly report, “In a stunning victory, the Democrat Party postponed the Kavanaugh vote until tomorrow.”
Fake news. The vote has been scheduled for the 20th all along.
That was what I thought, that it was pro-forma that the 'rats would come up with something (or nothing) to delay the vote so the 20th was the expected date.
The FBI has no jurisdictional responsibility to address an allegation dating back 35+ years in a matter that did not involve a Federal crime.
Traditional Coup d’etats require lunatics in the streets with torches assaulting the Palaces. In the modern age, this is done by corrupt, lying members of the minority party to use the process of democracy to overthrow the duly elected government and their legitimate efforts to make proper appointments to the other branches of the government. These days, the lunatics are members of the Senate and are supported by other lunatic with obscene piles of money and corrupt hired servants of the government.
