Flaked out...
 

Delayed for a week..

common sense.

NOPE... Democrats playing games still. But at least we will find out what a lying cunt she is.

there will be no delay...lol

just one flakey senator saying he wants one...wait until the dems figure out he has no power to force his whole party to do something

Feinstein...oh..i didnt understand what was being said....really? then get off the seat

It's done they already had the vote.

good lucks blowing off an investigation for a full week.

lol...who is ordering it? Flake job? he just admitted he has no power to enforce it..lol

Trump will order it.. Hopefully they dig into financial records as well.. Heard Avenatti's chick was shitloads in debt to gov somehow. Taxes I assume. Get Feinstein's "leakers" as well. You ask, you shall receive..

Flake 'Job'... :2 cents:

this is how I understand it:

"The Senate Judiciary Committee just voted to send the Brett Kavanaugh nomination to the floor -- under one condition: Flake will only support it after a brief FBI investigation."

No they voted "no" on sending it out but agreed to send it AFTER an investigation none of them can actually order... Grant it, Trump will do so..

Just part of the SHOW

But it means Congress isn't going on break for at least another week.

what the fuck is going on?????????????/

Pretty sure DC is doing their best to piss off BOTH sides equally

Kavanaugh was right, this is a national disgrace.

Flake is very necessary. It is 48 For 47 Against. Flake, Collins, Manchin, Mikulski , and Heitkamp undecided.

The floor vote needs TWO of those for Kavanaugh to be confirmed. Flake will NOT vote yes without FBI. He is retiring. Manchin may vote for, but Heitkamp will probably not. That leaves Collins and Mikulski. If they supported Kavanaugh they would have said so. They have not. Doing nothing will not change their minds.

Right now, Kavanaugh is dead in the water unless Flake's demands are met. He is a loose cannon, no one knows what he wants. Probably to fuck Trump in the ass, literally.

Was that so difficult?

We are talking about a lifetime appointment to our highest court. We need to be positive.

In fact, when it comes down to the final vote, it should be anonymous.

2 of those are women too....

I'm sorry people Lindsey Graham is gay. I don't mean that in a negative way at all. He just IS gay.

I think what happened is he and McCain were lovers or maybe he had a crush on McCain but probably the former.

How many death threats have you sent him already?

We've been calling him Ms. Lindsey for years we can spot our own from a mile away. It amazes me how many straight people don't realize that Lindsey Graham is Gay

I've always thought he was gay.. even his parents knew he was gay when they named him

no matter how many times graham practiced that in the mirror, he still had to look at his notes to remember the word "sham". lol.

interesting to note that the repubs, up until the very recess prior to graham's outburst, they had promised via Grassley that they would continue to use Rachel Martin for interrogating kavanaugh. but after kavanaugh went unhinged and off script, the repubs scuttled that promise and rachel martin didn't ask a single question again.

For the record this will all go nowhere..

The FBI can't just open a investigation into a SC nominee because a Senator wont vote yes unless they do.

It doesn't work that way, added to this, they wont start a investigation with a imposed 1 week deadline. That's not how they work..

This is all just Flake not having balls enough to just say no, so he called for a investigation as a cop out so he can have an excuse to Republicans who will send him death threats anyway..

Yep, I think it is mostly theater. This will allow them to vote for him and say, "We investigated so it is all good."

This is so dumb. Kavanaugh is clearly not qualified to be on the SC. Stories of his past asside, he lost his temper during the proceedings, he refused to answer some questions clearly, and he believes there's a conspiracy involving the Clintons to stop him. Geezuz christ. There are plenty of other people more qualified for the job than he is. Trump wants him in to protect his own ass, thats all.

Chump didn't have the balls.. he deferred action to the Senate.. Any other prophecies Nrostradumbass?

Dems clearly have something hanging over Flakes head.
They ambushed him during the break and when he came back he looked scared to death.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

It never ends :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

So here's the deal apparently.. His confirmation IS going to be voted on tomorrow.. The "FBI investigation" is really nothing at all.. They are going to do the same thing that's already been done.. Interview everyone and put it in the file.. That's it.. They make no determinations whatsoever.. If the Senators decide to make referrals based on already given testimony from there they can.

I was thinking the same thing. This is just Republicans pulling a fast one. They'll vote on him early next week without an investigation.

Let's be clear about this. The Republicans (especially Chuck Grassley) don't give a flying fuck about whether or not Bret Kavanaugh is a shitbag. If someone came forward with a video of the attack shot with a giant 80's camcorder and it was played for the committee, he would still be confirmed. They're a bunch of scumbags who only care about having their power.

It's called a guilty conscience...

The new session for the supreme court starts on Monday. This is the real reason why Dems are stalling.

^^This I'm unclear on; I think they'll simply seat him if he is confirmed, why does this matter? I suppose because cases have to be remanded where there is a 4-4 vote. Are there any big cases in the first few days?

Jeff Flake is the only Republican willing to do his job. It's a shame his courage comes from the knowledge he won't be in the Senate for very long.

This is beyond ridicoulous

I agree.
The court is doomed to become a political institution.
Just because legislators do not have the balls to legislate.
Then they would have to face voters for their decisions.
Not going to happen.
They will push the courts to change the Constitution by underhanded interpretation.

They need to put the rules back on that were in place for the house and senate in the 80's and require at the same time that it takes a 3/4 majority to change them thereafter.

It would go a long way in reversing this crap !

But, why not require a 2/3 majority for SCOTUS and require that the full senate has to post a vote on the floor for the seat in 60 days.

The only people who clearly have something hanging over anyones head are the russians holding something over chump's head

Yet you don't hear much about it. Why is the gay community so against outing people? They won't out Jeremy Renner either. From what I've heard, it is much healthier to be honest. We don't let people hurt themselves, why wouldn't it be positive for extremely closeted people to be confronted? This is a real question and obviously academic, I am not going to try to make any rules for how gay people choose to handle outing.

November will not be good for Dems.
All Democrats had to do was pretend not to be crazy for one month. That's it.

your team is trying to get an alleged sex criminal appointed to the SC and the dems are the crazy ones?

Forgetting current sexual and poor behavior allegations,

This man has been passed over several times before for the post because he is to partisan.
All trump had to do was appoint someone that could at least achieve one democratic vote.

But he chose someone who might save his ass when it is in the sling.
From what I seen at the hearings, he is very partisan and I can't believe nobody was calling him out for it. Just because he spoke angerly and forceful means nothing to me, but it seems to have blinded most.

In contrast, Obama's appointment would have had near unanimous vote with a republican senate and they would not allow it to the full house floor for a vote for 293 days.

Don't think you have any authority to say you speak for what is fair and crazy.

But I doubt this will pass on the full senate vote on the floor.

It is a lifetime appointment and I'm sure we can do better than this.
It is suppose to represent our very best ! What happened ?

Playing the game of choosing sides will only make this more partisan. I choose the people and constitutional integrity.

Someone go ahead and slam me for being non-partisan. I hate both parties !
They are not serving you, they are serving themselves and using you to do it.
And you are buying it.

Who is buying what?

Perhaps we should put Hillary Clinton on the SC

Unhinged Linsey Graham promised to partake in Obstruction of justice.

Graham rips Dems on Kavanaugh, says he'll 'get to the bottom of' FBI probe | Fox News


Humm so how many Republicans can we lock up at once.. This is getting better and better as they violate our laws and Constitution.


Declare the Republican party a criminal organization.. #lockthemallup

Yet another lie under oath...



I have no connections there. I got there by busting my tail,” Kavanaugh, a who currently serves as a federal judge, said while testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week.


He was actually legacy student because his grandfather attended.



https://s.newsweek.com/sites/www.new...1041966536.jpg

holy crap. It's pathological to tell a lie like that.

After 2 years we still haven't seen ANY evidence of this absurd claim. Nothing. If Putin could rig US elections we wouldn't have had Obama for 8 years.


Alleged by a pink pussy hat wearing far-left activist. Not proven and not credible.


She hasn't been able to practice law since 2002!!! LOL :1orglaugh

What a horrible thing to say. Moreover, plenty of sane repubs like Chris Wallace know otherwise, Blasey Ford was extremely credible. Moreover, she didn't dodge a single question, your guy dodged them ALL. You can't be proud to support a lying, question dodging, belligerent, alleged rapist for SC right? Seriously, you're proud of that?

Dont you feel a bit odd about never once questioning people on your team about anything? I've never once ever seen you objectively look at any of these situations.

All you ever do is chant the same useless dribble you hear on fox news or far right talking points.

Do you even have a opinion you aren't spoon fed?

Ya Know...
That is the part the gets me...
If you were to compare all those that got look over for this pick, you have to scratch your head. There are plenty of judges on the federal court 9on the right) that could have my support.
Nobody is showing you that but if it were shown, it would be quite embarrassing.
But don't scratch to long since it was purely for the reasons of his belief in presidential immunity that he was picked.

Let's burn that rat infested house down just to save one rat ?

This can and probably will get worse.
Funny they did not time this till after the mid-terms but one can suspect it was to motivate the base to turn out the vote cause the ship is sinking.
Put some more gas on the fire and make that hole larger cause they motivated the left even more.

But they run the risk of not having enough time to push through a second if this fails.
I believe they will have to have the full vote on the floor this week to have enough time to push a second one through committee in time for a second floor vote.
