This has the up to second account of what's going on.

I doubt it...but he’s a drama queen.
Aides texting like crazy on the phones. Something is going to break.
So in other words, Ford’s lies were not convincing enough to give Flakey Flake cover so he has to vote YES.
The Democrats are going to do anything possible to stop this vote and SCHUMER is behind it!
Repeat, Flake doesn’t matter. The vote count doesn’t matter. Having a vote doesn’t matter, a vote from the committee isn’t required.
When a party walks out on a vote, it’s because they know they’ve lost. They’ve lost even if the vote is unanimous against K, as long as the Senate vote confirms him.
The vote in the Senate is all that matters.
Apparently three walked. And now the GOP are in conference about something....
I notice that Graham, Cornyn and Lee are all around him and talking to him. I don't like the looks of that.
Kelsey Snell just Tweeted:
“Sasse and Tillis also haven’t spoken. Grassley says the vote will happen at 1:30, those who have not spoken can speak. Whitehouse says that there’s conversation happening in an ante room and suggests pushing back the vote. Grassley says they already decided on vote time.”
Flake is still MIA, apparently in the ante room. Something’s up.
I think so. He may weep and wail but I think he’ll be a yes.
Flake could be the deciding vote to delay the process.
Notice how quiet Schumer has been lately? He has been busy orchestrating this whole chaotic mess on the parts of the Democratic judiciary members
Flake’s going to delay this...
Is Fruitcake Flake flipping? He must be in there trying to reach an agreeable number to buy his vote.
How long would a business remain in business if it were run the way government does its business? The sheer time wasting is amazing to me.
Whitehouse is chattering animatedly with an aide, covering his mouth. The Republicans all look grim.
Four minutes to go.
Betcha Coons is flipping Flake.
an aid, that looks like Sass
Do not like the faces of Hatch and Grassley right now.
Find something to threaten this creep with.
Here we go!
