"The time for endless delay and obstruction has come to a close. Judge Kavanaugh's nomination is out of committee. We're considering it here on the floor and ... we'll be voting this week," McConnell said.

McConnell's comments, made during a Senate floor speech, comes as the FBI has to wrap up its investigation into multiple sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh by Friday.

GOP senators and aides have been careful not to pin down a specific timeline on Kavanaugh's nomination, arguing that the FBI could wrap up its work before the Friday deadline.

True. It's a likely "price" we'll have to pay to secure Kavanaugh's nomination.

Not to fear, we'll still pick up seats in the Senate as a result of this!

Flake was behind this delay with the abortion girls of the GOP. He will be a solid no. His future is with CNN and the left he burned his last bridge to the GOP last week. He would never be trusted again for anything.
