With all due respect, the Senate (including McConnel) is held hostage on this matter by Collins, Murkowski and Flake.

They need at least 2 of those votes to confirm Kavanaugh and there’s just no getting around that.

You are right. McConnel can’t really do a thing.

Exactly. This is the reality of the issue. What do freepers want McConnel to do? Say “no!” And then get 48 votes to confirm and then the nominee gets shot down because he won’t do it? Because as of right now that may be the reality and Mitch is going to either call for an investigation or not based on the votes, not based on calls to his office.

Flake is an attention whore. This is all about him, not the nomination, not what is good for the country.

Yes, and now Rand Paul wanting to get on the bandwagon too. Collins won't be far behind.
