The Senate Judiciary Committee barreled toward a key vote on the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh Friday, even as a top Republican acknowledged the GOP was still short the votes needed in the full Senate to confirm him for the high court following accusations of sexual assault.
"We still probably got a little work to do," said Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, the third-ranking Republican.
Senate Republicans are seeking to push Kavanugh through to confirmation on Friday, while the Democrats stood by Ford and are insisting that the confirmation be stopped or delayed until a "full investigation" can be conducted.
As Senate Judiciary Republicans wait for the Democrats to appear, NBC and CNN are reporting that there are discussions are underway for a one-week delay on voting.
Senator Flake announced a proposal to delay the floor vote for up to one week in order to allow the FBI to conduct an investigation.
UPDATE: Despite Senator Flake's proposal to delay the vote for one week, Chairman Grassley called an immediate vote to advance Kavanaugh, which was approved 11-10. The confirmation process now moves on to a full floor vote, however Flake says he will vote "no" unless the FBI investigates the allegations against Kavanaugh.
Flake tried to cuck out, be he thinly failed, so the Senate Vote tomorrow remains!
Xavier Lewis
Who is lining Flakes pockets?
Evan Bailey
You know damn well (((who))) bro. Got to be one of them anyway.
Jack Martin
(((Nobody))) nose.
Brandon Hernandez
As far as I can tell they need to convince 4 to vote for him which are on the sidelines, at least one democrat and a few cuckservatives too. Most likely he can make it, but it will be a very razor thin outcome. Keep your fingers crossed.
Jason Barnes
I'm sure Flake was given A LOT to cuck out. He initially said absolutely YES…. then someone likely slipped him an enormous check.
Christian Flores
Then again knowing Flake's shady past (like most of them) could have been blackmailed too.
Josiah Barnes
wat?
Austin Evans
I have a clue… Flake was best buddies with McCain - Insane in the Brain McCain - who was close buddies with whom? George Soros a major Dem (((lobbyist))) with billions to spare.
Jeremiah Wright
Oh, is the vote on Sunday? My bad then.
Adam Sanders
All Flake would have needed to cave like that was a personal call from Soros and an offer he couldn't refuse to pass up. Maybe Flake can buy a new $10,000,000 luxury home on the coast perhaps, with a nice giant private swimming pool for him and his hookers? Perhaps.
Jeremiah Rodriguez
I expect even if Kavanaugh manages to get nominated, Mr. Soros will have to be dishing out a whole lot of $$$, he may be losing half a billion or more over this one vote. Expect some future layoffs at his NGOs that he currently funds.
