Verified account

@mkraju

After Collins and Murkowski both expressed concern if Ford doesn't show Monday, Flake's comments here suggest that Kavanaugh's nomination may be salvaged if she declines to appear.

And if she does appear she’ll ruin the Dems’ shtick and be a laughingstock.
Tough choice.

[wardamneagle]

If she shows, I won’t feel a bit of sympathy for her.

Something about Flake is just not quite right.

Every time I see his face, I want to give him a good punch in the nose.

And from videos I have seen of him, it appears someone has already done so...perhaps many times over the years.

It may well be that someone on the Judiciary Committee has something just laying in wait for her to appear and make her unsubstantiated claim under oath that'll blow here right out of the water and Ford and her attorney may know just what it is as well and may be fearing a perjury trap and now DiFi wishes to put some distance between herself and this walking self destroying loon she helped to foist unwittingly upon her party.

Trump and Grassley just doesn't act very concerned any in the least at all of her appearing and testifying. But you never know.

wonderful super.... great!

i await to see it..SOON!

good for Flake (words I thought i’d never say)

My comment from an earlier thread before the Democrats delivered their ultimatum

The Democrats have been bluffing and the Republicans have just called with the winning hand. Game over. This wouldn’t be happening unless all the Republicans are prepared to vote for confirmation.

What is ‘markup’?
