Brett Kavanaugh's nomination has been stalled on the Senate floor after GOP leadership agreed Friday afternoon to a one-week delay for an FBI investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against the Supreme Court nominee. Earlier in the day, the Judiciary Committee approved Kavinaugh's advancement by a vote of 11-10 along party lines.
"There's going to be a supplemental FBI background investigation" said Majority Whip Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) in a Friday statement, which he said would last no longer than a week.
Cornyn, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and a number of other Republicans had huddled in McConnell's office Friday afternoon to discuss how to proceed on the confirmation following a call from three key senators to delay the vote. -CNBC
Immediately prior to the Judiciary Committee voted, GOP Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona - who is not running for reelection - attempted to push for a delay pending an FBI investigation, however he was unsuccessful after Chairman Grassley rushed the vote.
Flake then vowed to vote no on the full floor decision, and was joined by GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, just one day after Dianne Feinstein cornered her in a hallway for an apparent "talking to."
While walking into Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's office, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, a key vote, said "yes," when asked if she supports Sen. Jeff Flake's proposal for a delay.
CNN asked: And do you think it should be limited to Ford’s accusations or should it include an investigation into other allegations?
Murkowski responded: "I support the FBI having an opportunity to bring some closure to this." -CNN
With a slim majority in the Senate of 51-49, the GOP would have been unable to push ahead with a Kavanaugh vote without at least Flake or Murkowski's support, as Vice President Mike Pence could break a tie in a deadlock.
When asked Friday afternoon what he thought about the delay, President Trump said "I'm going to let the Senate handle that," insisting that he would not get involved in pressuring the dissenting GOP senators to vote either way.
"I'm going to rely on all of the people including Senator Grassley who's doing a very good job," added Trump.
They are literally begging us not to vote for them come election time.

Americans can't ignore this kind of controlled opposition anymore. Its plain as day.
Andrew Thompson
real true news
Sebastian Long
We should vote for those BASED Democrats AMIRITE?
Charles Ramirez
No way. All I said is if they can't even get a conservative judge into SCOTUS with publican majority in the Senate than something is seriously wrong with these dimwits. Lets hope this bullshit stunt is not deliberate sabotage from some cucks inside the Republican party (we all know Flake has always been a weak cuck).
Camden Thomas
Trumpkikes have nothing but this, they don't want the real answer, civil revolt with their orange faggot leaders head on the pike.
where the hell did this kind of shit-tier meme come from? lol
Carson Perry
Hello, anons!! I'm Courtney DeAnne Tubbs ('RedPill') reporter at The Goldwater. We are now accepting applications for a new 'Political Opinion Reporter' job. The position is going to be available October 1st, and you can work from home. Call or Text me at 251-303-3766 and apply today.
forget about your political idealizations, and let go of your ego and preconceived propensities…..
and just BE HONEST…………………..
SHE handled herself extremely professionally and did a very good job under a lot of pressure (she's actually been receiving death threats, and has had to hire security to protect her at home- and she had nothing to gain personally, and everything to lose) yet she still did an excellent job of maintaining and dealing the stress….
she was actually extremely convincing
HIM ?….. he acted like a little child. he lost control. he lost his cool several times. he threw temper tantrums. he was combative and argumentative. he completely lost self-control…..
and he's supposed to become a SUPREME COURT JUSTICE??!!!
AGAIN: he completely lost all self control
it spoke volumes about him
if she behaved like he did, everybody would be jumping her shit right now
SHE'S the one who behaves like a Supreme Court Justice, and HE'S the one who behaved like an emotional little girl.
anybody who knows me realizes that I don't hate Trump for his political policies… I couldn't care less about political policies…………………………..
I hate Trump as a PERSON
the human being known as Donald Trump DISGUSTS ME
I judge HUMANS….. not their politics
this wasn't about HER vs HIM
to me, this was about HIM….. and the human being known as Brett Kavanaugh is a BITCH
he's a fucking whining, emotional little BITCH
Ayden Cooper
no…. no I would NOT…. especially not when the entire world is watching, and I'm supposed to be proving that I'm qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice, and maintain a level head under pressure, showing the personal psychological strength and wisdom that rises above the average citizen, above the average judge…..
lol @ you supplying the victim statement for him….. as if his actions aren't his fault….
blaming her for his actions
you're grasping for straws, man…..
Gavin Wilson
I don't think he acted crazy, but sure he was angry. I would be too under those circumstances (especially if it were not true, as some suggest it might not be).
Asher Turner
RE: RUINING HIS CAREER
if anybody ruined anything, it would have been HIM………..
I'm not particularly concerned about what he did 30 years ago…. I'm concerned about how he handled himself during this hearing….
my wife even said, "obviously she's telling the truth, but that's not really important, because we all did crazy shit when we were younger… the problem is he's not honest enough to just admit it and say I made a silly mistake… (it wasn't rape, or even a crime necessarily) if he just showed honesty, then he would show the type of Integrity we are looking for in a Supreme Court Justice… not a coward who gets angry and defensive to try to distract from the fact that he's not being honest!"
…. that's exactly what my wife said after watching the entire thing live over the past two days…..
my wife was not offended by what happened 30 years ago, she was offended by what happened yesterday on live TV….
Jack Parker
naaahhhh it's true
it's true……
but it's really not that big of a deal. just like my wife said, "who HASN'T done crazy sex driven drunken behavior when they were young?"
it's totally understandable… it's not like he was a rapist… it doesn't even really constitute a crime..
but he wasn't honest yesterday
he was disingenuous
and that shows cowardice
Josiah Gray
again: yesterday, I saw a bitch on TV
I also saw a woman who maintained her cool
Colton Morales
THE CORRECT ANSWER PART TWO:
these pieces of shit are not concerned about Justice or fairness or the American Way
they're corrupt as shit
they're going to push this piece of shit through no matter what. it doesn't matter what happens, they're going to push it through
AND THIS IS THE EXACT TYPE OF INSIDER CORRUPTION YOU SAID HILLARY WOULD BE GUILTY OF
Nolan Phillips
I'm disappointed in good-intentioned men who voted for a change from 'business as usual', wanting to put an end to this exact type of insider corruption, voting to 'make things the way they should be', but too blind to see that this type of shit is what sold our interests down the river….
all of those mitherfuckers are corrupt as fuck
Andrew Jenkins
Do a flip faggot.
Matthew Moore
could I accept a Supreme Court Justice who got drunk and grabbed girls tits in high school ?
OF COURSE I COULD
could I accept a Supreme Court Justice whos too much of a bitch to handle this situation with honesty, humility, and charisma?… a fucking whining crying melodramatic BITCH who is CLEARLY DISHONEST AS SHIT EVEN WHEN HE KNOWS WE ALL KNOW HES LYING ?!!!
it looks like I don't have a chice
Lucas Ramirez
news flash !!
I look down my nose at you b i g t i m e because of the human being you allowed yourself to become
Can't wait for the day you turn into a high-quality gorepost.

Fuck off ya bum

You're wife's a dumb cunt. Because she's lying.
Ryder Powell
I don't care about the opinions of subhumans.
Noah Lopez
Another guy who wants heartless lizards to be in charge of their lives and not compassionate humans like Kavanaugh who cant understand why someone would destroy him despite having good morals and treating everyone with respect and compassion throughout his entire life.
It's normal to be emotionless now and encouraged? Fuck logic and everything we were gifted as humans to achieve what we have, lets let the lizards run us instead because they can keep their demeanors better because they honestly dont care about anything besides themselves.
Adam Evans
S'cuse I clicked the wrong post number. Actually that was probably one of your posts too.
faggot
Logan Reed
THE BEST PART OF THE HEARING: when dr. Ford was asked how could she remember the event, and she responded "the Norepinephrine and epinephrine uptake during a traumatic event, which triggered the neurosynapsis and neurotransmitters of the hippocampus" type of super intelligent answer…. (she made them look stupid as shit)
THE CHEESIEST, MOST EMBARRASSING, DISGUSTING, DISINGENUOUS PART OF THE HEARING: when he said, "my ten year old daughter said 'we should pray for her'…" (that was SO cheesy and contrived, designed to appeal to the lowest IQ idiots)
Daniel Myers
Kavanaugh is a good man so the parasites only want to tear him down. And don't compare them to lizards. Reptiles are far more empathetic beings than they are.
I think Flake is onto something. He's still going to be confirmed with a 50 to win vote (Pence breaks tie). Except now after the investigation which will find nothing, Democrats can't say shit or complain any further without looking like fools to the informed swing voters. Now the Republicans can say they did an investigation and found nothing. Democrats have nothing to argue with for the midterms now.
Ian Phillips
apparently, he wasn't treating chicks with compassion when he and his horny buddies got drunk off their asses in high school (when he was too young to drink)
you're full of shit you pussy
ALSO: I certainly DON'T want an emotionally unstable, angry, lying, crying, temper tantrum BITCHBOY making decisions in the supreme Court….
I wouldn't want him handing my case in traffic court, let alone America's highest court….
I honestly get the feeling that you're a homosexual……
you seem like one you seem like a woman
(by the way, it's strange now important Brett Kavanaugh is to you, especially considering the fact that you had no idea who he was 30 days ago)
Lucas Brooks
I have a MS in Neuroscience and she pretty much said the equivalent of this video. It's embarrassing to hear and only the simple minded think it's anything of substance.
Nathaniel Brown
lmaoing at your life
Connor James
MS in neuroscience?… then you could probably determine whether or not your sexual attraction to other men is an organic disorder or just because you were molested when you were a kid
John Cook
at least you and I agree on ONE thing
hell get pushed through…………………..
because they're corrupt
Gabriel Fisher
and I'm NOT saying that just Republicans are corrupt…..
they're ALL corrupt Democrats, Republicans, and everyone in between
Henry Rodriguez
Both actually. Wanna fuck?
Jayden Ward
Radical centrist, eh? FUCKING BASTE.
Jack Stewart
like I said, I don't care about politics
all of my opinions are based on my personal feelings about the human beings, their character, their presence
and I found Kavanaugh to be a fucking lightweight
I would've NEVER hung out with his type in high school… and as an adult, I think he's a fucking whining bitch….
I realize hell be pushed through
that's the way things have always worked
(status quo) not exactly 'making things great again'
this is the exact same corrupt politician shit
Adrian Martin
Which is why you post about politics 24/7.
Alexander Carter
and btw, I wasn't suggesting that her answer was Stephen Hawking shit
in fact, it was quite simple
but it's not what they (or anyone else) were expecting
I liked it because it underscored how she was able to maintain a clinical dignity
while Kavanaugh acted like an emotionally untable divorced woman
Andrew Barnes
nope….. I never post 'about' politics
I post IN politically oriented 'news' threads, but I'm always off topic
Dylan Garcia
was it indelible in your hippocampus?

Sounds like politics lives rent free inside your head

Adrian Rodriguez
Hi, Kids !!
Brett Kavanaugh here. Just wanted to let you know that im looking forward to being the first whining, emotionally unstable crybaby bitch sissy boy Supreme Court Justice
only here in Zig Forums (or 4chan/r9k/) would I find grown adult males who would see me behave like an unstable 11 year old girl, and they'd actually RELATE TO ME
It's been great here. I asked a liberal coworker that after investigation if they find he's innocent would they support his nomination. Of course, they were pissed off. These people don't actually believe he raped anyone, they just need some excuse other than they don't like Republicans.
Leo Bell
I hope you aren't talking about Lindsey Graham. The only person he has more character than is John McCain and John atleast had the decency to get brain cancer.
Julian Hill
I hope you leftists get the civil war you're pushing for. I really, really do.
Adam Murphy
Haha faggot. Get rekt.
Charles Ward
THIS.
Hudson Walker
I don't know if I trust Flake, its not the stunt he pulled here. He was a big supporter of a lot of leftist policies before INCLUDING gun bans and is a notorious neo-con war hawk like his ex-pal Insane In The Brain McCain.
Arizona is a state sick with an infestation of illegal aliens who vote.
Zachary Turner
i use metropcs too. I get great service at a great price. you're obviously one of those idiots who pays too much, and gets less.
John Butler
Egg Zack Lee™ !!
in fact, I get absolutely, COMPLETELY UNLIMITED high speed data (no hidden caps) on four phones for only $60 a month…………
it was originally only $100 a month for the 4 lines, but I got it down to only $60 for FOUR LINES, which comes to only $15 per line………………
just a couple months ago, I used up 128 GIGABYTES OF HIGH SPEED DATA on my phone….. for only $15…….
only a stupid fucking IDIOT would pay for a contract when I get the exact same service for only $15
Thomas Powell
I have a jitterbug flip phone, service is only $20 per month w/ unlimited calls. No internet apps or anything, just a basic cell phone. Thats good enough for me.
Gavin Rodriguez
fuck off cell phone shills
Dominic Bennett
that's not a bad deal, compared to the hundreds of dollars paid by contract idiots. but when you stop and consider that by negotiating with a MetroPCS customer service supervisor, that I was able to get my four lines for only $15 each, and I used up 128 GIGS of high speed data in one month, there's really no better deal available.
Michael Peterson
There is a big difference between a "smartphone" and a standard cell phone. I don't mind standard cell phones, they do as they were intended: to make calls.
"Smartphones" on the other hands are botnets that steal ALL your private data, GPS track you all over the place, make you addicted AND reduce your attention span. They are pure cancer! Will NEVER touch a 'smartphone' ever.
Evan Perry
If MetroPCS offers jitterbug or burner services (for the standard flip phones) I would not mind it. Otherwise forget it.
Caleb Phillips
Also, I don't live around a big metro area so I have no clue if I could even get MetroPCS service in my town.
Blake Sullivan
hint: every electronic communication you make or receive is being intercepted, analyzed & stored.
every single keystroke is being logged, every search is logged, every email, text, fax, EVERYTHING is being collected and logged, complete with your location, etc
Colton Flores
and NO, your VPN isnt preventing it, nor does Tor, or even encryption.
in fact, you were being monitored like this since you were a child, because before personal computers, they were already doing it to all landlines, payphones, etc.
you CAN'T avoid it…….
so why try ?
Justin Lewis
they do, but even flip phones are being tracked with GPS, and every single word you speak or hear IS being recorded, just like every text you send or receive…
so why fight it?……
just accept it
Jaxon Ward
WHY THEY DO IT:
the information is routed, intercepted, and stored away….
ALL OF IT FROM EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE……….
then, if you ever pop up on the 'radar' for any reason (as in: the 3D gun guy) and they want to nail you, they simply pull up your files, and carefully go through EVERYTHING…. listening to every phone call, etc. They go through all your intent activities (as in:the 3D gun guy, and found his dealings with the girl he paid for sex off sugardaddymeet.com)
they also do the same to the people you interact with (which is how they discovered the girl was underage)
this is how they obtained the phone calls of the Boston Marathon bombers, etc
and if they are actively watching and listening to you real-time, they call your status 'IRON-CLAD'
Isaiah Brooks
I'm not a defeatist and I'm not going to make is easy for them. If they want to snoop on me, I'm going to give them the damn biggest hassle I can toss at them.
And as for my encrypted VPN, good luck to them rummaging through tens of thousands of hopped IPs over the last couple years. Hahahaha! What a waste of time and resources.
Jaxon Evans
federal and local law enforcement agencies can request this information from the NSA, telling them basically how they want to nail you, then the NSA supplies the info to the other agency, and then they try to make it look plausible as to how the data was obtained….
and that's EXACTLY how it's done
using a flip phone is NOT preventing them from collecting every god damn call and text, and your computer is far less secure than a smartphone
Ryder Parker
1) spoof the metadata (yes its possible now days) 2) spoof the IP and MAC address (routinely hop over encrypted proxy IPs) 3) use forward secrecy (listen to Snowden, he tells you if you don't want them to know something don't say it, don't type it, don't speak it) 4) avoid all personalized/corporate social media serviced 5) NEVER let newer tech into your home, avoid all the "smart" crapola 6) Always cover up any camera on a laptop or old school cell phone (again, your giving the spooks a harder time by doing this) 7) If you want real privacy, leave your phone in a closet or in another room while you talk to people face-to-face.
There. Your making it pretty hard for them to do much.
Aaron Perez
I'm not a defeatist, either….
far from it…. I'm a REALIST and the reality is: they are monitoring everything, so it doesn't really matter how many layers of alleged obstacles you create for them, because they can handle it easily…………..
in fact, they can handle it with no effort at all, because they're not manually switching gears…. it's all automated……
in the end, it's only YOU who's jumping through hoops, but you're not causing THEM any extra effort or inconvenience
the way I see it?………… lol I accept the fact that EVERYTHING I say and do is being monitored, so I'm fine with it………
I hope they like Elvis Presley, Cats, Techno and My Mother
because that's basically all they're going to see…
and TONS OF IT
Hudson Ward
I don't text on my phone. I call people, for mundane ass reasons. They can suck shit if they think I'm criminalizing myself over a phone. Hell no! IF there is criminal activity being done its FACE-TO-FACE with [unnamed] with NO digital/electronic gadgets around!
Grayson Ramirez
egg zack lee™
I never do
Colton Stewart
myself?…..
I'm not violating any laws
I'm an overly complicated, idiosyncratic, weirdo, unique BORE……………
like I said, I hope they like trudging through a shitload of Elvis and Cats, because if not, they're going to get irritated as hell………………
