Judiciary Panel Approves Kavanaugh, sending nomination to full Senate

Posted on 09/28/2018 11:08:24 AM PDT by conservativepoet

Graham went squishy took all of one day. Says Flake is a great guy and if it makes the Dems feel better about the process he can understand the week delay.

So much for calling them out yesterday.

I sent him a contact form saying I’m now wondering if he accepted bribes from the Democrats. I’ve considered him an enemy of us Arizona voters for a long time. The man has no honor or integrity.

This stunt by Flake only verifies he’s a RAT. He’s been very quiet up to now and he has to want this confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh to be delayed until after the election as bad as the RATs.

So we put Kavanaugh through all the stupid demands of the Democrats to call the FBI, he didn’t flinch, and Flake throws all that away.

Can they call the vote for today? Just get it over with.

Judge Roy Moore would be in the Senate had not McConnel McTurdle not spent 30 million to smear him with similar old old charges.

Roy Moore would be in the Senate had he not been a terrible candidate through and through including taking the weekend off before the election to attend a ball game! Moreover, McConnell did not spend $30 million to smear him with anything - using figures which included an ad campaign against Mo Brooks during the original primary had nothing to do with Roy Moore.

Straight party line vote. That was a predetermined outcome, but the country was dragged through endless weeks of drama anyway.

And now it’s on to the full Senate, where a small number of wiffle waffling drama queens will mire the process in even more needless histrionics, before another predictable party line vote.

So are we supposed to trust the FBI to have no bias?

Considering how they handled Hillary’s investigation and how they colluded on the whole Trump / Russia Hoax, we’re supposed to trust them with this?

Personally, I think there should be an investigation of Ford, Feinstein, and how this whole witch hunt came about.

How much was Ford promised?

An investigation is needed and leakers and liars need to be prosecuted.

A few saying Trump said some words backing Ford. Nothing I am seeing says that. Looked on twitter.

Mitch is going to hammer this home.

I can tell he is really, really p*ssed. The Dems have repeatedly flipped the bird to his beloved Senate tradition and collegiality.

Anyone who crosses him on this is going to wish they had never run for another term.

What part of the fbi twice turning down investigating a non provable event from 36 years ago does flake not understand?

Democrats already know that the FBI investigations will not turn up anything that isn't already known. It's about delaying the confirmation vote another week, and then, after the FBI findings, democrats will ask for another week to review the findings, and after that other week, something else will be brought up, and so on and so forth, until we've arrived at the midterm elections, and then, democrats can call for the confirmation vote to be completely put off until after the midterms. All in the hope that they have gained enough senate seats to control the judiciary and senate, and then, they'll be able to table the Kavanaugh nomination and give the middle finger salute to Trump.

LBJ was a ruthless SOB but when he was Sen. Majority Leader, he got his Senators to vote the way he wanted. I wish McConnell could channel some of that.

The “investigation” would actually be to determine if Kavanaugh lied on his background questionnaire. If he knowingly did so, that would be a federal crime and under the jurisdiction of the FIBbers...

The history books will record 11-10 out of committee. The rest is non-binding on Mitch.

Senate can’t order an fbi investigation though.

At this point, I think you have to figure the worst case scenario is where this is going.

Get out the vote. That is what it will take to fix this.
