Republican voters appear to be extremely impressed that their senators can’t find something they are working very hard not to see.
If the vote goes forward and K is confirmed without the FBI talking to these witnesses, then we need to hear their story on a national prime-time news show.
At least then, Donnie won’t be able to hide what they say.
This fiasco is very heartbreaking! The performance by Flake to bring about the FBI investigation seems to have done more harm than good in the matter of healing the partisan / gender divide in this country. His weak spine does not allow him to go back to the well and demand a complete investigation for his vote.
I’d like to hear from all these people even if BK goes down in flames. There’s no reason the senators who vote yes should be forgotten.
The only positive I can see coming out of this is that Jeff Flake will now never be president.
“Why do anything to prevent Trump’s rubberstamp from getting on the Supreme Court?”
Despite all this, in the remote chance that Dems get the political power, they will bend over backwards to be nice to these GOP assholes, just as they did before - ‘impeachment is off the table’, ‘let us use the Romney/Heritage health plan for ACA’ etc. etc…
I don’t fault the Republicans. They are what they are. If a thief enters your house once or twice you hold the thief responsible. But if he continues to enter your home through a door which you always keep open perhaps you should close the door.
I am disgusted. As I was with Thomas hearing. As I was with Bush v. Gore. As I was with so many other fiascos the Democrats have suffered at the hands of the GOP over the years. Now it is going to get worse with a permanent GOP majority in SCOTUS at least for the next thirty years.
This will be far from over after Kavanaugh’s confirmation. The stories about Kavanaugh, his lies before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and his blatant partisanship will haunt him, particularly if the Democrats regain control of Congress. We’ll suffer, too, of course, but that’s what happens when you lose elections, especially to someone like Donald J. Trump.
Remember when Ferdinand Marcos had Benigno Aquino escorted from the airliner, so he could be murdered on the tarmac by their hit man, Rolando Galvan,wearing an airline maintenance worker’s overalls, who they also immediately killed?
This FBI Investigation was Donald Trump’s equivalent.
Time to find out if Sen. Flake meant what he said about wanting a real investigation, or whether he, Murkowski, and Collins will accept this fake investigation and show themselves to be cowards Trump can push around whenever he wants.

Blown off by
Investigation
I believe this performance was absolutely intentional. Last week the GOP had no cover at all for installing a sexual deviant political operative on the supreme court; this week they have a tiny little grape leaf.
