Senators are being told that they will get to review a supplemental FBI background investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Thursday, but only one copy is being made available to senators under restricted conditions.
Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, said that preparations are being made to review the report on Thursday.
Republicans are putting strict limits on the viewing.
Only one copy is being made available to senators, and each party will take turns viewing it in one-hour increments, Durbin said.
“Get this — one copy! For the United States Senate,” he said. “That’s what we were told. And we were also that we would be given one hour for the Dems, one hour for the Republicans. Alternating.
“We tried to reserve some time to read it. That is ridiculous,” he said. “One copy?!”
“Bizarre, it doesn’t make any sense,” he added.
If all 100 senators decide to review the document and it takes each senator 30 minutes to peruse the document, it could take 50 hours for the entire chamber to examine it.
“Do the math,” said Durbin. “That’s a lot of time.”
They can each read their own page and pass them down. Ain’t rocket science. They are just whining.
I would ask, are they for be scanned for electronic devices and will they be removed. 2nd, will their be multiple copies with slight changes to catch the perps that try to photo with a mini spy cam, as they know who gets what copy?
More freakin wasted time!!! DO IT NOW....THE HELL WITH THIS CRAP!!!!
beat me by 7 seconds
well no vote this week then?.... and I doubt they will vote on a Sunday..so Monday?
I like it! One copy. One hr. For all the Demonrats.
The vote would be Saturday. To hell with them.
Hey, Democrats... Why don’t you give it the same amount of time you took to read the Obamacare bill (which is none), you hypocritical bastards.
I don’t trust the fbi, and I don’t know why Trump did. I suspect this is ether negative which will kill off BK. Or it is neutral and will change nothing.
More intrigue and drama ..
Vote now
Read it out loud FGS
Of course some one will have to read it to Booker.
I hope I’m wrong, but just watching McConnell finishing up for today, the Sinate is adjourned till 3 pm Monday. Seems to me that would mean no Kav vote till at least then...
1 copy. 1 hour for each Senator to view.
Do the math. And viewing starts tomorrow.
I’m purely speculating, but The Turdle may need more
time to get the weak sisters votes.
Or it could be The Turdle wants to have the vote as close
to the election as possible.
It does seem WEIRD that there is only ONE copy??? WHY?
It doesn’t matter what it says...just more smear and lying to come. Call the cloture vote Thursday evening and we either have a new nominee or get rid of some RINO once and for all.
I meant 1/2 hour per Senator to view.
Then don't review it.
Reminder:
Q: Do you know how many Democrat senators reviewed the evidence in the Evidence Room for Clinton's impeachment?
A: Zero!
2-3 Dems will read it then spread the word that there is nothing new and the rest won’t bother to even read it.
