The Kavanaugh VOTE live thread

CSPAN ^ | 9/28/18 | senate

[Right Brother]

Is Leahy shitfaced?

His face always looks like shit.

[Theodore R.]

Wait to Orrin’s replacement gets there on Jan. 3, 2019!

P.S., it won’t cure the nausea.

[Dogfaced Soldier]

Kurt Schlicter was right about Kristol. He’s not just Never Trump. He’s never you (us).

[noexcuses]

I think that if the D's don't show to vote his nomination can still move out of the committee without a consensus of the committee recommendation to the floor same as if they all show up and one or two R's voted no.

I would think the D's would want to be on record voting against rather than on record as hiding from the vote.

[Kevin in California]

He had an overnight lobotomy.

[kanawa]

Bumped his head on the liquor cabinet?

[pnz1]

Why couldn’t they do the floor vote today?

[Notthereyet]

So glad I caught your comment! Reminds me of a thought my beloved had last evening after the hearing... he thinks that Feinstein was deliberately holding on to the letter for future blackmail of Judge K if he was Confirmed as a Justice. He mused that even though it never happened, the accusation may have been a good Ace-in-the-hole for an important case. Kind of like whatever they had/have over Roberts where he backtracked on ObamaCare... Except... my beloved thinks even as a Justice, Judge K would have told her to stuff it and had her investigated for attempted blackmail. After seeing Judge K in action, I think he would indeed have told them what-to-do if they had held the letter as a possible blackmail tool.

[Deo volente]

Leahy is slurring some of his words.

[noexcuses]

The entire Senate needs to do a vote first to start debate then vote to close debate after so many hours (30?) Then the actual vote.

[MNJohnnie]

So the next step here is the actual vote at 1:30 today?

[Fresh Wind]

Leaky Leahy is the poster child for term limits.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

“””I’m getting nauseated just listening to Orrin Hatch. These squishy republicans constantly fawning praise over the rotten democrats is pukeworthy.”””

---

When you have already won the game, there is no need to disparage your opponent.

It is almost 100% that all Republicans will vote for Kavanaugh to become a SCJ.

The game is over and the losers are whining as to why they lost.

[AmericanMermaid]

That is an evil Jezebel and a sorry excuse for a human being.

[liberalh8ter]

Band-aid where they performed microscopic brain transplant.

[Paine in the Neck]

Drinking with Hillary?

[hey Bean]

Leahy is bringing me to TEARS...... of laughter. This old fool from the teeny, tiny

state of Vermont does not speak for America. Retire you old fool.

[liberalh8ter]

Correct, it will be more nauseating.

[Georgia Girl 2]

The dirty diaper brigade is throwing one last tantrum. 😀

[BushMeister]

The dems can prevent a committee vote if they so desire, as 2 minority Senators must be present to create a quorum in order to conduct business, and 1 minority Senator must vote to terminate debate to bring a matter to a vote.

Fortunately, the full Senate can vote to discharge the Committee from the consideration of a subject, which should allow full Senate vote(s) regarding the nomination, but it looks like that will take at least an extra day.
