Mitch McConnell: Brett Kavanaugh Floor Vote This Week
Roll Call ^ | 10-1-18 | Lex Samuels

Posted on 10/01/2018 1:29:01 PM PDT by kingattax

Majority leader again decries Democrats for delay and obstruction

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is insisting the vote on confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court will take place before week’s end.

The Kentucky Republican, speaking on the Senate floor Monday afternoon, said the Democrats chose to hold the allegations against Kavanaugh “in reserve” in order to derail the nomination.

He spoke about how the Democrats who first received the allegations handled them. He specifically mentioned a law firm with “politically connected lawyers” that McConnell says Democrats advised Kavanaugh’s accuser to hire. Those lawyers are set to hold a fundraiser for Democrats this week, McConnell said.

“More nonsense.”

Will you apologize to me when McConnell/Grassley cave and agree to question the 23 ‘witnesses’?

I guess you did not watch the Hearings or are unaware that the nomination has moved forward to the next stage.

He ought to have taken it out of subcommittee and brought to a floor vote last week.

If he had done that, Flake, Collins and Murkowski would have voted against and the fencesitter Dems would have done the same. End of story for Judge Kavanaugh.

"That article says nothing about the promise being in writing."

Other articles did. There was a copy of his letter a few days ago at Breitbart. His vow was the last sentence in the letter and was written as a separate paragraph.

Thanks for the cite of his dissent in the Heller appeal. I’d seen that. I think it bodes well, if we can just get Judge Kav on the Court. Given the Left’s treatment of him, I think he is even more certain now that the 2nd Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. Massive backfire on the Left. I just pray Mitch keeps his word this time.

Jeff Flake: I Will Vote to Confirm Brett Kavanaugh
Breitbart
by Sean Moran
September 28, 2018
[Excerpt from Jeff Flake's written statement, emphasis in bold mine:]
What I do know is that our system of justice affords a presumption of innocence to the accused, absent corroborating evidence. That is what binds us to the rule of law. While some may argue that a different standard should apply regarding the Senate’s advice and consent responsibilities, I believe that the constitution’s provisions of fairness and due process apply here as well.

I will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh.

[Coon's reaction as quoted in the article.]
"CNN reports that when Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) heard the news of Flake’s decision, his immediate response was, 'Oh f*ck.'"
