KAVANAUGH CLOTURE VOTE THREAD 10:30 AM ET (CSPAN-2)

[goldstategop]

SENATE JUST GAVELED IN. CLOTURE VOTE TODAY.

[Tuxedo]

No guarantees now unless McConnell puts the screws to Murkowski,

[goodnesswins]

Yes

[goodnesswins]

Yes

[OddLane]

It's really disappointing.

She's just another Dem. hack.

[Deo volente]

51-49, “the motion is agreed to.”

YES!!!

Now on to the vote!!

[Textide]

Flake voted Yes

[NautiNurse]

Wow! That is serious aggressive posturing by DiFi. She reminds me of the Grinch.

[Notthereyet]

Sen Collins can vote ‘no’ because she’s sure she’ll still get funding from the Rino Establishment. Sigh.

[Vaden]

OH NO! Now Collins is playing drama queen. She will announce at 3 PM what she will really do tomorrow... I hate these fakers...

[boomstick]

As the joke goes, ‘just enough to win’.

Collins and Murkowski can be difficult sometimes, but as long as we get to 50+Pence I don’t care what positions they have to take to keep their seats. Imagine how this would have gone down with Schumer as Majority Leader.

Also, we should have reinforcements in the new year, so replacing Buzzy should be an easier vote.

[Ronaldus Magnus]

Manchin has to decide....Schumer or West Virginia.

If he wants to be reelected, Manchin should vote Yes this weekend and then immediately announce that he will be changing his party affiliation to Republican in December if he is elected.

[keats5]

Wow. What a photo!

[MNlurker]

I wonder how much they really have to get done in the lame duck session before the new congress is seated.

I’d like to see Cocaine Mitch should make an example of her if he’s good on the rest of the year’s docket.

[JewishRighter]

Murkowski voted against cloture. With that, I don’t see how she could vote in favor of confirmation. Not a good sign.

[Antoninus]

Keep in mind that Murkowski was appointed to her Senate seat by her dad who had previously held the seat. She lost in 2010 in the primaries to a Tea Party guy, Joe Miller, but ran as a write-in candidate in the general election and won.

Apparently, she views the seat as part of her patrimony and sadly, too many Alaskans are ok with that.

[snarkytart]

Murkowski is a pig. She just got reelected in 2016 so she’s there long enough to do damage to the Republicans.

If the Republicans pick up seats in the midterms, the Republicans need to freeze this bitch out

They better, but will they?

[Faith65]

Agreed!

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Thank Goodness Mitch changed it to a simple majority vote!

[Artcore]

It will be attention whore Flake casting the important vote

********

And he hates Trump’s guts!

[outpostinmass2]

Wait till Saturday, we still need Flake and Collins to vote yes. Who knows what they will do???
