That makes the Senate Judiciary Committee vote a done deal — and likely the floor vote for Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation, too. Retiring Senator Jeff Flake was the only Republican committee member who remained uncommitted on Kavanaugh, and who took to the Senate floor earlier in the week to appeal to the better angels of both parties.
This morning, as the committee was about to go into session, Flake announced his support on the basis of affirming the norms of due process. “What I do know,” Flake declared, “is that our system of justice affords a presumption of innocence to the accused, absent corroborating evidence. … I will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh.”

Thank you, Jeff Flake.
Just got a flash that the vote has been pushed back to 1:30 PM. That can't be good. What gives???
McConnell better tell those WEAK SISTERS they will get NO MONEY and NO HELP for their re-election and will support a PRIMARY against them! PLAY HARDBALL!! THIS IS WAR!!
Flake is a real piece of work, but from time to time, he does the right thing.
To me he looked emotional about the hearing yesterday. He was the one responsible for extending this nightmare and he saw what it did to the fine Judge.
Relax bro. We got this.
I hope our side has some leverage on these guys/gals and keep twisting the arms. I won’t feel good about this until Kavanaugh is sworn in.
I hope there isn’t some new allegation.
My late night email must have pushed him over the top. :-)
Thank you!!
The best thing they could do, is not televise the hearings. Watching the petulant communists not answer in a roll call vote shows just how hateful they are. Especially that woman from Hawaii!
Maybe they explained that you are either on our side or we sent you over to Queen Sheila’s side to deal with her!
United States Supreme Court associate Justice, Brett Kavanough to be confirmed on Saturday or Monday!
Thank you Jesus! Saint Michael battled for us again!
I thought he looked ‘shaken’ ... I’m glad he had the decency that McCain did not and refrained from using this as an opportunity to poke Trump in the eye. He is doing what is best for America (and the Republicans at this point).
The dems have an unlimited supply of party girl bimbos that they are willing to trot out and the truth be damned.
Yes. Give credit where credit is due.
And trash him when it’s not.
I’m sure they’ve had a Hail Mary at the ready they’ll unleash today.
Just do the vote!!!
