With the Senate Judiciary Committee holding a vote at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow, a Senate insider has told Townhall that Kavanaugh has the votes to make it out of committee and the votes to be confirmed on the floor for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Sens. Flake (R-AZ), Collins (R-ME), Murkowski (R-AK), and Manchin (D-WV) are expected to vote in favor of Kavanaugh. All the Republicans are voting yes. Also, in the rumor mill, several Democrats may break ranks and back Kavanaugh. That’s the ball game, folks.
It was an intense and hellacious day at the Senate Judiciary Committee. Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of an attempted rape while at a high school party, told her story of her alleged sexual assault. It was intense. It was emotional. And it still lacked evidence, witnesses, and other corroborating details. It’s an unprovable allegation, which is what Democrats want; it allows them to delay and run out the clock on this nomination. The FBI investigation talking point has been beaten to death by Senate Democrats, another delay tactic that has been undercut by past remarks by none other than Joe Biden. When he chaired the committee during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, Biden famously said that FBI reports are inconclusive and should not be relied on during sexual misconduct allegations.
Brett Kavanaugh testified later this afternoon, giving an emotional and fiery defense of his character and career after it had been under a sustained assault by the Left for over a week. Kavanaugh said that the allegations—all three of them—were false and have irreparably damaged his reputation and damaged his family life. He said this process had become a national disgrace, with Democrats replacing advise and consent with search and destroy. Kavanaugh needed to come out swinging. He needed to be tough. And he did just that.
Somehow it reminds me a bit of all the hate and vitriol they wasted on GW Bush the “Compassionate Conservative”.
“Revenge is mine,” saith the Lord. But I dont think He meant we could not extract retribution against the Party of Hatred and Slander ......scumbag Democrats who colluded to destroy Brett Kavanaugh. Chief among the scum to feel our wrath:
Schumer
Finestein
gillibrand
hirono
Cory Booker
kamala harris
dick durbin
blumenthal
schiff
deserves repeating, thank you.
I just hope all conservative, decent people make a beeline for the ballot box and pull the lever so hard it breaks. The Dems need to pay. This has gone too far...it approaches bloodshed. The media needs to pay dearly.
I hope it’s true.
I watched it all.
It only confirmed what a big liar she was and how low the democrats/soros will go.
God Bless Kavanaugh and his family

I’m not going to post the links, but CNN reporting that the American Bar Association is asking the SJC to halt consideration of judge K until a full FBI investigation is complete. Also saw the same, from a different source, regarding the American Jesuit Society.
Expect to hear it all day along with 100 or so additional allegations. These swine will fight until he is seated, and then it will really get bad.

Just wanted to add, not a panic post. I think him getting in is a done deal. Just saying that the braying and gnashing of teeth will continue.
Was TC a moderate before SCOTUS?
This was a "perfect storm" event for them set up by the #metoo movement. I cannot imagine anyone not being laughed out of town had they tried this canard during the Bush or Reagan years (seriously...you say some teenager tried to cop a feel in high school and that disqualifies him from EVERYTHING???). As the Dems are wont to do, they WAY overplayed their hand and I can't imagine them even trying the same crap next time.
Oh, riiiiight, how could we forget. Governors’ power to advise and consent on executive branch appointments is indeed in the Constitution (Article 13).
we BETER NOT end up with another Roberts after all this!!!!
After the hell they just put him and his family through? There is no way Kavanaugh is going to pull a Souter after going through that crucible.
Article states.....Sens. Flake (R-AZ), Collins (R-ME), Murkowski (R-AK), and Manchin (D-WV) are expected to vote in favor of Kavanaugh. All the Republicans are voting yes. Also, in the rumor mill, several Democrats may break ranks and back Kavanaugh.
That remains yet to be seen......things can always change at the last hour as we know. Consider mccains thumbs down.
Sicko McCain was keeping our Miss Linda down.......I wish Senator Graham lots of good luck. He did great yesterday.
What was not empathized enough yesterday was how long Sen FineSwine held back Ms Ford’s accusations, which her committee could have dealt with months ago.
They aren’t done smearing Kavennough......Ford can press actual criminal court charges even if he is confirmed. I would not put it pass them to doing just that.
From the way Dems were talking about Kavanaugh before the stuff hit the fan, they already figured on getting very unfavorable decisions from him, thus the strong effort to stop him.
“...It was an intense and hellacious day at the Senate Judiciary Committee....”
Understatement of the year, for sure...
Ah, I will sleep better than have all week :)
“Miss Linda” had gender reclassification yesterday. 9/27/18 was the day that he became a man. Lindsey Graham is a “Mensch” in the finest sense of that word. I will never refer to him as Linda again.
I pledge to never call him Linda or Twink again. McCain passing from the scene is producing all kinds of benefits.
