Sen. Jeff Flake just said he would vote to move Judge Brett Kavanaugh out of the Judiciary Committee and to the floor of the Senate as long as the main vote would be delayed by up to one week to allow for an FBI investigation.

Flake is the most aptly named individual in politics! Thank GOD he is fading out! Perhaps he is deeply compromised and quivering that his "Secrets" become National News?

Exactly...

Flake can ask for whatever he wants, but the vote to recommend Kavanaugh is now done... Floor vote is next....

So, at this point this sounds like a stall attempt by Dems... but I don’t think they are stalling because they think they can stop the nomination... sounds to me more like they want to keep Kavanaugh from being seated in time for the start of term.. which means there are 1 or more cases they want to make sure Kavanaugh cannot be part of... because he can’t vote on causes heard before he is seated.

So, what are the cases on the USSC docket this term?

Flake is a communists Democrat and is working with them. I told you no vote at 1:30 or ever. The communists have taken over control of the Federal Government and Trump might just retire now because when the Democrats get control of the House and Senate he is done. The GOP is finished and Grassley is an ars. What a sorry mess.

My guess is that Flake, Collins, and Murkowski are all in this together.

So that means that they will pretty much have to concede this one.

Simple, call in the FBI; have them interview Judge and the other two supposed witnesses. Get it done this weekend, and by Monday, if the Democrats complain, they can't say it's because the FBI wasn't called in.

Titling at windmills — small consideration by weak kneed Flake which will go nowhere.

What power does this clown have? It’s up to McConnell to call the vote, not this ahole.

Move it out of judiciary. Better to take our chances on the floor than agree to this nefarious delaying tactic.

Work on Manchin. If the rinos want to vote against him, so be it. Flake is gone, but the other 2 airheads will be guaranteed a primary, or they wont bother to run, like Flake. Even with long terms, people wont forget this one. Maybe Trump will go up to ME for a campaign visit.

A vote delayed is a vote lost. America raped by a pack of rabid constitution haters.
