New recording on 3rd try. Now the mailbox is no longer full, now “it cannot receive messages at this time”. Convenient.
It has been pointed out, that McConnell will ask how each Rep. will vote. If he comes up short because one or 2 more go along with Flake’s suggestion, then he has no choice but to cave in. But he’ll have to make iron clad rules for what, who and how long the investigation will be allowed to last.
Since the Dems have pointed out that the FBI took 4 days during the Anita Hill investigation, then that should be more than enough time for this one and it should be limited to Ford.
But I hope it doesn’t come to that.
This was their plot last night...
Get it thru the committee then play hardball with the Floor vote.
Welcome to Argentina. 3rd world shit hole Politics.
Nope.
If this is goes down because the RINOs lost their balls, I will stay home in November.
I won’t forget and forgive them.
Jim, over the years you have proved yourself to be a very intelligent and insightful political mind… However, I wonder if this case it might be better to wait until Mitch McConnell has the votes to put Kavanaugh on the court?
I know the sausage making of this procedure is painful and the enemy is not without tricks… but if McConnell can get concessions… And guarantees within his caucus that if he gives the FBI “one week“ to turn up anything within a very strict framework… That he would have those peoples vote to put judge Kavanagh on the court… Would it not be worth the week?
I emphasize that McConnell should only consider the one-week delay IF and I repeat “if” he does not have the votes to confirm now. Apply the initial pressure… Get a headcount… See where you are… And proceed accordingly.
I believe Judge Kavanagh will be The most solid and conservative voice on the court for decades to come, that we could possibly have.
Thank you again Jim for such a wonderful sight to let our opinions be known.
Blessings to you.
Murkowski, Collins, Flake, and Manchin all want a delay. So there will be one. Remains to be seen how long.
Tell them both how pathetic it is that we can (apparently) not even whip up a tie....and, that we see who is actually in control of Congress....RINOs and Dems.
You can always make them do what they said they will and vote against. All these people will be going against their constituents and Trump will not stop bashing them for the rest of their careers
America is very rapidly becoming ungovernable...
I think that’s reasonable. Depends on whether the Democrats will agree.
If they don’t, the vote should go ahead.
Exactly.
The only scenario under which this makes sense is where Flake and the Bobsy twins give him commitments to vote yes on Kavanaugh one week from now, although their word is about as good as used toilet paper.
Just when you have a little hope, these traitors will crush it out of you...
The point is if the votes aren’t there, Kavanaugh goes down.
Flake needs to be assured all due diligence was done and that’s his price.
Take it or leave it.
Well, it’s a start
The same four that met last night after testimony that said they would vote yes.
After it got thru the Committee they sprung their trap.
Seditious Bastards anyhow!
BTW-what is it they are supposed to investigate? the Ford allegations or the rape train crap pushed by Creepy Porn Lawyer?
It’d be a real hoot if Justice Dept. already has been given information from Foreign INtellegence that CPL is conspiring with several Members of Congress to smear a Nominee to the Supreme Court.
Yeah I know, wild wishing...
” no Dem will vote for Kavanaugh”
Nope. Gonna be at least two conversions, unless they really don’t want to stay in the Senate.
Manchin and Tester come to mind. Probably others.
The Rat party died yesterday. The backbone of that party for three generations was Irish Catholics. Note my use of the past tense. They just took a big dump on that ethnic group and no Kennedy will ever pull them back from the abyss now.
Read this Jim. It might not be as bad as first thought.

They need time to plant frozen body parts in Kavanaugh’s basement freezer.
