BREAKING: We Have The Votes
Town Hall ^

Posted on 09/27/2018 8:22:46 PM PDT by TigerClaws

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.

Can we do it today after the judiciary Committee vote? If we don’t the media will report Brett Kavanaugh killed someone, is part of the Russian collusion, is the Antichrist.....

I was thinking the same thing. If he wasn’t as far right as Thomas in his thinking on the Constitution before this crap, he sure as hell is now.

This may be the Left’s next talking point...”After the way we have treated Kavenaugh, how can you expect him to be impartial on the Supreme Court??? He must withdraw!”

With Kavanaugh Trump will get.

-The WALL, built by the Corp of Engineers.
-The end of mass voter fraud since universal voter ID will win at SCOTUS.
-The end of taxpayer supported sanctuary cities in blue states.
-Military tribunals will be authorized for certain crimes by SCOTUS.

etc....

>>Congratulations on radicalizing Kavanaugh Democrats. He will burn with a fury and hatred against you for the next 40 years when your garbage cases get brought before the Supreme Court.

Thomas didn’t. Kavanaugh won’t. Our side has professional ethics.

“Dems are toast on this one. They blew it.”

Agree.

But if they succeeded that would have set off the powder keg for sure.

This is like an opening artillery barrage and allows the Republicans to sight in their weapons. When Ginsberg shuffles the mortal coil, then the real fireworks start.

Another one. These Dems aren’t praying.

Mary would pray that they repent. She wouldn’t pray for their success

"They’re not done. . . Wait for it."

Well, your as bad as I am... I hate to be So pessimistic but I too believe they will never give up..! The "American Bar Association" is now chiming in with their BS... All those politicians are lawyers and worship at the "Bar." So look for more grief for Kavanagh..

My prediction:

Jeff Flake will vote NO as he is leaving and hates Trump and this could be his last hurrah at trying to screw Trump.

Hope I am wrong!

Notice how Whitehouse had his dead down in shame as he asked those yearbook questions! I hope he has SOME shame, but I doubt it. Evil personified!

This whole circus is being orchestrated by SCHUMER/Pelosi.

I’ve heard that a Dem has requested that a COURT intervene and prevent the Senate approval, as if that is even possible.
