They can lose one on a floor vote. If everyone else is a yes they can ignore flake.

They may be able to lose two, if Manchin votes yes.

True. But don’t be surprised if Collins and/or Murkowski follow suit; i.e., not to vote to confirm unless there is an FBI investigation.

"They can lose one on a floor vote. If everyone else is a yes they can ignore flake."

So? So what! They'll just turn one or two more, just like they turned flake. What makes you think they'll hesitate to "offer" to bring out some "victims" to accuse them of all sorts of vile acts?

Serial rape is small potatoes! Just think about it. They haven't rolled out the REALLY big guns yet. Child molestation, kiddie porn, "accidental" death of a victim during "rough sex while raging drunk."

Get the picture? This is a fight to the death for the left. If he wins this SWING VOTE on the bench, it is the END of the left's DECADES of hard work to turn this country into a leftist utopia.
