Whats going on now: Senators mostly Democrats, who have said they plan to use the 30 hours of debate granted by the cloture motion have been delivering speeches to a nearly empty chamber since midday Friday. The speeches will likely continue through Saturday, up until the call for the vote on Kavanaughs nomination.
What time: The vote will come at the end of the 30-hour period that began on Friday at 10:52 a.m. EDT. The vote is expected to be taken sometime between 4:45 p.m. and 5 p.m. EDT.
What channel: Cable news networks and network channels will be broadcasting the Senate vote on Kavanaughs nomination. You can also watch the vote on C-SPAN 2.
Livestream: You can watch the Senate livestream by clicking here.
What has to happen for Kavanaugh to be confirmed: If no senator changes his or her cloture vote, then Kavanaugh will be confirmed by a vote of 51-49.
Sen. Steve Daines, R-Montana, will be attending his daughters wedding on Saturday in Montana, so, unless his vote is needed for the nomination to pass, he may not return to Washington to vote.
If no senator changes his or her cloture vote and Daines does not return to vote, the vote would likely be 50-49.
Murray is extraordinarily stupid. Her cohort Cantwell is extraordinarily sneaky.
Not proud to say they are my senators. Thankfully I live in eastern WA where a great many Republicans prevail. So far. But the pussyhat ladies are making a dent.
The fight is over in this battle. The Dems are talking to their constituency and their special interest groups trying to hold on thru the mid-terms.
It won't work though.
LOL!
Democrats may be a no show. 51 Senators needed for a quorum. Could be an issue?”””
Are you saying ALL the Dems would refuse to show up to vote???
Daine will be there to vote if necessary.
In none of this speculation does the daughter get considered at all. Does anybody seriously think that Daine's daughter would allow her wedding to be ruined should Kavanaugh not get confirmed on account of her father missing the vote? Can you imagine the mood at the reception should news filter in from Washington that Kavanaugh was not confirmed on account of Daines not being there? How much fun would the wedding be? Daddy would be there to dance with her but it would be a glum affair. For the rest of her life, memories of her wedding day would be tarnished.
Even if Kavanaugh's daughter was a liberal, who wants that?
I'm sure that things have been worked out where Daines can cast his vote and participate in the wedding. Timetables can be shifted around a little to accommodate Daines getting to Washington to cast his vote. When the voting starts in DC around 4:30, it will be still 2:30 in Montana. A quick vote and a three hour flight can get Daines to the reception by around 6PM local time.
Now that will make for some memorable wedding memories. What a joyous occasion it will be for all involved. Not only for those at the wedding but for the rest of the nation as well.
I like your dream a lot. Could actually happen, knowing how wonderfully creative Donald is.
Dan Sullivan explaining why AK would have voted no had Kavanaugh been opppsed to Native Alaskans. He wasnt.
Any one arrested for rioting/looting/arson, etc. should lose theyre EBT Card for life. Also fine, arrest, prosecute. Or just hang the dumb bastards.”””
NOT just the EBT cards.
Lose ALL welfare benefits—housing-phones-medical-legal-everything.
AND THEY SHOULD LOSE THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. NO EXCEPTIONS.
You gotta love it when everyones on board for the vote later today.
ALL of my ammo is color blind—gender blind—and political persuasion blind. It just does it’s job.
Sullivan is a yes when Murkowski is present. Thanks AK!
Right...?
They still haven't leaked Kananaugh's medical records yet and there's still time to kidnap family members.
not joking
Sullivan now ripping false Rat claims against Kavanaugh.

Dan, thank you! We could give you wet slobbering kisses for that show of confidence!

“Unless the Democrats pull something else.”
I am sure that if the dems had something that they think would work, it would be out there. I am thinking that this time the dems went too far, least wise, I hope that is the case. But, I will save my hooting until the final vote is in.
Soros rent a mob has arrived.
