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.
I do not have any cardiac problems, and I do not want any cardiac problems. Can we get this confirmed soon?
Avenatti with another Hail Mary? Michael Moore and 1 million marchers go to Washington? Tom Arnold has a secret tape of Kavanaugh using the "N" word? A male accuser comes forward?
There will be several other nominees for the supreme court as many current justices are old and decrepit and will die or retire soon.
Question: Will the democrats find women to charge assault and rape against all nominees?......
I’m fired up, that’s for sure.
And I don’t think I’m alone. This is War!
McQueeg got his claws into him and "LINDA" was neutered. McLame is DEAD ( thank GOD! ), the "spell" is now broken, and we all saw the old Graham today. I guess that someone found the key to the "LOCK-BOX". ;^)
I agree. Nothing is over ‘til it’s over.
And what a big pair they are. OMG, where has this LG been?
Well done Senator!!!!
There are some twitter reports that GWB is calling the RINO senators and lobbying for BK. Like many folks, I’ve been really sick and tired of the Bushes, but once in a while they surprise us and do something good.
I don’t believe it.
He’ll also NEVER ‘grow’...
Dems are toast on this one. They blew it.
...
I agree, but earlier today almost all the comments were exactly the opposite.
This was a great day for President Trump and the Republicans heading into mid-terms. It was a bad day for DiFi and the ‘Rats.
Had me until the mention of some Democrats voting in favor. Doubtful
Good stood up today in the face of evil and defied it right to its face.
Let us all stand with them.
Brett Kavanaugh, whatever type of judge he may turn out to be, is a good and decent man.
What has been done to him cannot be allowed to stand.
Knock it down.
The Judge K nomination has done something so unusual - united the MAGA movement and NeverTrumpers/Bushies for the first time. We have a common cause and a common enemy so this is a good thing, just in time for the mid-terms too!
“Congratulations on radicalizing Kavanaugh Democrats.”
When I read that, I first thought you were talking about all the prep-school grad libs. I see what you mean, but I also think a lot of “normal” Dims will be switching sides because they just can’t stand this kind of stuff any more.
Or Trump just took his leash from McCain! LOL
I have to give it to him, he made me stand up and applaud.
The evil Dems need to be slapped around. F protocal and playing nice with vermin.
You’re right. We can put nothing past them.
Can you just imagine the Sunday talk shpws this week?!?!?
