Word I hear from friends on Hill is that @SenMajLdr and WH plan to forge ahead with a committee vote on Kavanaugh tomorrow and floor vote at noon on Saturday.
Adrenaline? How about ESTROGEN.
Estrogen has turned the confirmation process into 'THE VIEW'.
On FOX yesterday, someone saidd that a committee isnt required at all. McConnell could call the vote on the floor without a committee vote.
>>>They must have the votes<<<
They had better have the Votes.
If Senator survives the WV mid-term, he should immediately change his voter registration to (R) and say God Bless President Trump!
Leaving the meeting with Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Jeff Flake, Joe Manchin said, There have been no decisions. We meet all the time ... I think you all know we trust each other. We are friends. Which is so hard to find around here.
We are still talking. There are no decisions on anything. There are some concerns that people have and were going to try to close the loop, he said.
About the hearing, he said, both were credible.”
The View. LOL.
I expect Christine Ford to go on The View and 60 Minutes and other such programs now.
I'll bet Manchin wants to vote yes unless he's the deciding vote. So he needs to know where Murcowski and Collins are in order to know what to do.
That made me laugh - for real!
Ann.... I like this ...;)!!
They did away w cloture w Gorsuch.
Rob Portman is a YES vote
I thought she was already scheduled for 60 Minutes
“close the loop” translation meaning we’re almost there but not quite?
Sounded like dot your i’s and cross t’s...
Amy Coney Barrett is warming up for when that VILE, EVIL, VICIOUS JEWESS HATING CHRISTIAN CROAKS!
Yep. Yep. Yep.
Tilting at windmills this one.
I’m a bit more optimistic on the vote now.
First is to get Flakey to vote yes in Committee.
I “think” Collins wants to support Kav because she thinks he won’t overturn Roe. She won’t have the same confidence in Amy Barrett who could be the replacement if Kav goes down.
Manchin is no Zell Miller, he is still to the left of even Collins and Murkowski. Corker and Flake may be bitter and petulant Never Trumpers, but they look like Genghis Khan compared to Joe. Ignore his reputation and look at how he votes. The only way he votes for confirmation is with Schumer's permission.
Let the debate start Saturday morning, and continue without pause until Sunday. Vote Sunday afternoon, and seat him Monday.
Betting markets now show Kav with a 65% chance for confirmation.
