Who do we like for SCOTUS?

[fj605]

It wasn't the final vote. Today's vote was on a motion to hold the confirmation vote. There's a technical term for it but it eludes me.

It's not a done deal yet.

51-49 PASS!

Think that was just the Cloture vote (voting to end debate and move to the final vote).

Final vote coming up any time now.

Well aware that it wasn't the final vote, but still one step closer.

[DenverGP]

Yup, and should be a good indicator of the final vote

Bombshell...

Friend of Christine Blasey Ford reportedly felt pressure to revisit statement on allegations

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fri...on-allegations

Keyser told the investigators that she was -- as the Journal notes -- urged to clarify her statement by Monica McLean, a former FBI agent and friend of Ford’s, the paper reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

McLean is the friend Ford helped with her polygraph exam per the old boyfriend. McLean also lives in Delaware where Ford claimed she was prior to her testimony.

This is huge and starts to expose the "working group."

Something big is up and all I can find is speculation. The FBI found something that is likely very bad for Dims. Grassley is now asking Ford's counsel for all communications with Democrats. This letter was sent yesterday...

I urge you once again, now for the third time in writing, to turn over the therapy notes, polygraph materials, and communications with The Washington Post that Dr. Ford has relied upon as evidence. In addition to the evidence I requested in my October 2 letter, in light of recently uncovered information, please turn over records and descriptions of direct or indirect communications between Dr. Ford or her representatives and any of the following: (1) U.S. Senators or their staffs, particularly the offices of Senators Feinstein and Hirono, other than your communications with me and my staff in preparation for the September 27 hearing; (2) the alleged witnesses identified by Dr. Ford (Leland Keyser, Mark Judge, and Patrick “P.J.” Smyth); and (3) Debbie Ramirez, Julie Swetnick, or their representatives.

Conservative Twitter is saying Flake is a yes but Collins is a no. I think McConnell has a very busy 24 hours.

The folks voting against Kavanaugh (R or D) have to fully own the hoax. Even the weak "temperament" concerns are a result of the hoax.

Collins has been a flaky RINO for decades. I'm (pleasantly) surprised Flake is a yes, if he is. There will be a bigger story to tell about the collusion amongst top-ranking Democrats to destroy Kavanaugh's reputation in a way that makes the Bork and Thomas hearings look like pleasant picnics in the park. I hope the GOP keeps hammering that home over the next month to show people why Democrats must not be allowed any measure of power in the federal government.

Final vote coming up any time now.

Believe once cloture is invoked there is a 30 hour wait.

How much $$$ wasted on this kavanaugh baloney? Not to mention how much lost time of productivity $$$?

[Great-Kazoo]

I hope the GOP keeps hammering that home over the next month to show people why Democrats must not be allowed any measure of power in the federal government.

The R's don't have the spine to do anything but lay down. I'm surprised Graham went off script during the hearings.

Sen. Collins is now speaking as to why she voted Yes and is citing Kavanaugh’s previous decisions. I think she’s doing a great job to promote him at this point.
