[exotix]

The Senate is set to take a procedural vote at 10:30 a.m. ET today to end debate on the nomination.
If a simple majority of the upper chamber votes in favor, the Senate will be able to advance to a final confirmation vote as early as Saturday.

Republicans woke up on Friday without the necessary 50 votes to push ahead on Kavanaugh's nomination, people with direct knowledge of the situation tell CNN, though Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his deputies were optimistic that they'd get there by the time of the vote.


WASHINGTON — With the U.S. Senate set to vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination Friday and Saturday, it’s still unclear whether he’ll be confirmed or defeated, although the expectation is that he’ll survive along (mostly) party lines.


But one thing’s for sure: The votes will reverberate beyond this election season.

Today



Injecting even more uncertainty into the process is the fact that Republican Sen. Steve Daines of Montana will not be in attendance (https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/04/politics/kavanaugh-vote-steve-daines-senate/index.html) if there is a Saturday vote because he will be walking his daughter down the aisle at her wedding.



https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/05/politics/kavanaugh-nomination-vote-friday/index.html



Adding another potential issue into the timing, the Senate was previously scheduled to be out on Monday for Columbus Day.

Repubs have the Votes.....Kavanaugh will be confirmed. Won't even need Pence.


Manchin is a yes vote and will make it bi-partisan.


Feinstein is ticked. She could only get Murkowski to flip.

[Just AnotherPerson]

I honestly believe the reaction over this whole Kavanaugh thing has made the right wing people beyond hysterical. Personally I dont really care if this sex offender gets the job or not. He is trash, and he is mentally unstable. That is the reason I think he is not qualified. He has an important job, and he is not mentally fit for it. He has issues hardcore.

I just never want to hear the name Kavanaugh again. Let that freak get his position. Just so we dont have to hear about him in the news ever again.

It does not matter who Trump chooses it will be a piece of crap bad guy for sure. Like what he said during campaigning. I will find people to do deals, people you wouldnt even want to be in a room with. What do you expect coming from Trump? If itis not Kavanaugh it will be some other looser slime ball piece of trash!

I can't imagine that anyone would believe if we crush Kavanaugh, that we could get a decent person who is deserving of the job. It can't happen as long as we have the president that we do. Trash for president, President who trashes our nation, and turns it to utter crap. It is going to be a long 6 years, most likely because the votes are rigged. And if he makes himself emperor I wouldn't be surprised. Or even designates himself as God!

Lets just get this piece of trash off the news as far as I am concerned.

What evidence is there that he is a sex offender? Or is this just a feeling?

[exotix]

A foolish statement. It is an opinion.Who in their right mind would make a prediction like that ... even a retard can see that Kavanaugh could only be nominated along partisan lines where the GOP has an iron-clad majority enough to get a man who was unknown before a sick president nominated a sick man with zero attributes other than as a criminal since 2004 to a violent alcoholic rapist as late as 1998 ... confirmed to the most revered branch of government ...

Nothing like the typical left wing mischaracterization. To be expected.

BTW, even Ford did not claim rape but the totally unhinged can’t discern between reality and the raging nonsense in their own head.

Nah, that comes after they learn they wont be taking the House and lost more Seats in the Senate.

Then after Trumps re-election. Just under full tilt.


Hitting full tilt when Trump replaces Ginsberg with another Conservative Originalist Judge.

I think that it is possible that Democrats can make some gains in the House, but lose seats in the Senate.

The House of Representatives is much more vulnerable to gerrymandering. That’s not applicable to people running for the Senate.

Someone that judges based on the law, constitution, and precedent. Certainly not someone that would appeal to the authoritarian left.

[Jeb!]

Great speech by Susan Collins! That's what real courage looks like!:grin: Too bad her Democrat colleagues are all cowards. Joe Manchin merely waited until he found out how Collins was going to vote.

Just to keep things honest, I did not report exo for responding with insults. I tried to engage him, but he refused.

Collins speech would sway any fence sitter.

[Ransom]

She was right on. And seemed to scold Democrats for their gutter tactics. Time and again mentioned presumed innocence and like Trump, pointed out the obvious discrepancies in Dr. Ford's testimony including not one corroborating witness and zero evidence.

I think Collins rebuked many of our Constituents here in this forum as well, they know who they are.

Isn't he under investigation now? I think so. That is probably why he is keeping his trap shut.

It was a shame but I place the blame more on the Dem filibuster than fence sitters.

If one doesn’t have the balls to tell people where they stand it’s no one’s fault but theirs.

Being under investigation shouldn’t impact his supposed support for the FBI.

[Ransom]

If one doesn’t have the balls to tell people where they stand it’s no one’s fault but theirs.

The report came out Thursday I believe. Collins read it. Flake who I might cede to you has no kahunas and melted when confronted by paid protestors read it and concluded no corroboration, no evidence, yes vote. You're brutal tonight, T!

[Common Sense]

Isn't he under investigation now? I think so. That is probably why he is keeping his trap shut.

I haven't read anything that indicates Comey is currently under investigation. I remember his memos and his leaking of them was subject of an investigation at one time. As was his handling of the Clinton email issue just before the election.

[Peter1469]

It was a shame but I place the blame more on the Dem filibuster than fence sitters.

The Dems for the most part are voting no regardless; that is why I think it was the fence sitters looking for cover.

I see articles up to June - July about the investigation. Perhaps it is over now.
