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.
Excellent - you're right on every point.
“He will burn with a fury and hatred against you for the next 40 years when your garbage cases get [thrown out by] the Supreme Court.”
Fixed! :)
Yep. For all of our worry and praying, the Dems totally screwed the pooch on this one. We must CRUSH THEM TO DUST in the Mid-Terms!
“The bushies are standing behind Kavanaugh even though that means a win for Trump. United? Hardly. Let’s see if Jorge can pull it off.”
They are only doing this because it would be a personal embarrassment if Kavanaugh were not confirmed. Association with the Bush league may be the biggest red flag on this nominee
This was all theater folks...
Anyone who was voting no on Kavanaugh after that train wreck was going to vote no on him before... that circus was nothing but theater.
Kavanaugh will be confirmed by 52-55 votes... and depending on just how badly that fiasco yesterday shows in the polling, it may be even higher.
#44 Yes I did not think about it that way.
Male witness about female nominee: “You know she was a cougar who plied me with alcohol and took advantage of me”....
Betting there’s a last-minute bimbo, #5, or is it 6? who “remembers” that Kavanaugh poisoned, hacked to death 5 women, dismembered them, and placed them in plastic bags back in 1983.
Happily, younare wrong!
Flake says he is a yes.
“For all of their faults, when the Bush family knows you personally to be a good person they will always be there for you.”
didn’t both Bushes go to Yale? i think, if what is being reported is true, that their support might perhaps also have something to do with loyalty among Yale graduates?
They ARE done. Ramirez and Swetnick have been kicked to the curb. At this late date the Dims could come up with another accuser who again has NO collaborating evidence or witness. Kinda hope they do, just to show how desperate and despicable they are. More votes for Red States in the mid-terms.
I predict 5-8 House seats and maybe 2 Senate seats for the GOP. This charade has pissed of everyone, including some Dims.
USSC Associate Justice Brett Kavanough is now a reality even if my above prediction doesn't happen.
Once that's a reality, I'm just waiting for Ginsberg to keel over. President Trump will be smart as usual and nominate a conservative female. Once confirmed, we're on our way to Constitutional restoration.
What about anouther “credible” allegation tomorrow? Think Flake will ignore it?
One hundred percent incorrect.
The democrats just nuked their own sinking ship. Exposing themselves as mean and cruel, on top of stupid and clueless.
Thanks very much let’s hope we get past this stuff day by day
Their whole Kavanaugh stunt alone is grounds to completely eliminate the CIA based on incompetence, among many other flaws.
.... and the other big thing the Democrat/Left accomplished was to fire up the GOP for November!
Source?
Yep...your wrong.....but we all have to be wrong at least once per day....lol
Just announced Flake...YES.
Best to you Acoulterfan.
Never mind. Just saw the other BN thread.
I’ll ping ya when he’s confirmed.
