BREAKING: Flake calls for delay of Kavanaugh vote to allow for FBI investigation

Sen. Jeff Flake just said he would vote to move Judge Brett Kavanaugh out of the Judiciary Committee and to the floor of the Senate as long as the main vote would be delayed by up to one week to allow for an FBI investigation.

Camela said earlier - "You know, we have a democracy," Harris, flanked by Democrat members of the committee, began. "There should not be tyranny of the majority."

Tyranny? The "tyranny" of the majority got you elected. What a moron.

[pburgh01]

The plan was a Saturday floor vote. Not sure if that’s changed.

I like most here are furious at this cr*p Flake pulled. No doubt there is something serious he was threatened with, talking kiddy porn serious type stuff. We all know the details and this is not rocket science, this is not investigatable by the FBI. What someone here suggested, what case is on the SC docket that Flake is scared to have adjudicated. Trump needs to go all LBJ on the two useless women Republicans and tell them that under no uncertain terms, "You hang me, your party and the country out to dry on this and well your political and maybe your legal career is over. You will be a pariah and I just hope you and your family are squeaky clean, that you were not being bought to delay here. You will be found out and disgraced will not be the right adjective to what I will do to you."

I think this is all theatre, the FBI director will refuse the request and that will be that.

You can bet both Collins and Murkowski will follow him along that wishy-washy path - not that the FBI will finding anything to scuttle the nomination, but it will give the ‘rats more time to come up with more bimbo eruptions.......

[WKUHilltopper]

And how many times did they say yesterday an FBI investigation doesn’t do jack...more stalling tactics to come up with something else to destroy the country.

Prosecute treason.

[itsahoot]

He cannot vote against Kav and then try to run for president.

He can as a Democrat. He is negotiating for something and it is not money.

I just wish I could trust the FBI to do that.

Re 2018 Scotus Docket

I do not know what cases are up for consideration but in terms of granting certiorari (Sp?) it takes 4 votes - Scotus
is split 4 - 4 so even if its a week before Judge Kavanaugh is seated if the conservatives want a case they can accept it.

Just my understanding - do not try this at home. ;-)

I for one would like to see the FBI investigate Ford. We know NOTHING about her. Shouldn’t take long to see how she’s lived her life.

Kamala(love the black self-important priceless names) Harris, showed she was not ready for primetime, just an ebonics using(I heard her say axed..instead of ask) ghetto rat in a $1000 suit. A walking minstrel show. To think she was the Democrat bench for 2020. Yes please run the affirmative action harlot, please.

[Don Joe]

"So, at this point this sounds like a stall attempt by Dems... but I don’t think they are stalling because they think they can stop the nomination... sounds to me more like they want to keep Kavanaugh from being seated in time for the start of term.. which means there are 1 or more cases they want to make sure Kavanaugh cannot be part of... because he can’t vote on causes heard before he is seated."

No, they're stalling so that they can roll out the room full of "victims" to bring even more bogus accusations -- each of which will require -- as per the precedent that was just set -- MORE "investigations" by the FBI.

They will keep it up until either he withdraws -- or Trump pulls him.

They will not allow ANYONE into that swing vote seat unless it's a leftist or a "moderate" that can be counted on to turn left at every crucial juncture.

If they allow him to be seated it will mark the END of the leftist agenda in this country. They will fight tooth and nail to prevent that. Don't put anything past them. Accusations of child molestation, kiddie porn, "accidental death" of a victim during "rough sex" -- or even worse.

For them, it's do or die time...

Yeah, right now there are plenty weeping women (and "men") who would see this wuss as their hero.

[cableguymn]

Wtf?

I don’t completely align with the republican party.

I NEVER said I didn’t vote for the. I do because they are the ones most closely aligned with me.

So back off and take it out on a Democrat.

[cherry]

give into his demands if you one must but make him swear publicly that he will vote yes if the fibbers find no credible meaningful evidence...which they won't..

it'll be good to see little missy prissy 's facebook/email/texts etc that she had erased...

[cableguymn]

Lisa just joined him.

The poop show continues

[ronnie raygun]

dick flake investigate what

[cableguymn]

Why are you attacking someone who agrees with you?

Go pick on a Democrat

[be-baw]

Not that it matters much, but so did Manchin.

[EnquiringMind]

Unless he says he will vote no in full Senate vote.....

[frnewsjunkie]

Weighed in weak. So far.
