Yes it can. and it might fail So what? POTUS can resubmit same name - Bush did for MANY judges.
See too, vote likely to fail is the cloture one, and THAT is not a vote on the candidate, it is a vote on the procedure.
GOP is trying to lose the Senate. It's a good way to stifle Trump. But, the GOP doesn't want to be seen as trying to lose.
Stupid Linda was on TV about a month ago and some talking head asked him if he expected any indictments to come from the Durham probe.
He gave her a cheery “No Ma’am”
And then said some horse$hit about “not wanting punishment to only equate to arrests”. (meaning administrative like firing or demotion)
I wanted to reach in to the TV and beat that useless RINO P.O.S. with a stick.
Do what our kids do for school..... use Zoom!
Flimsey Grahamnesty has NEVER been on our side.
All those people who bought his acting job during Kavanaugh and thought there was a “new” Flimsey Grahamnesty are fools.
He’s testing the waters or seeing which way the wind is blowing.
NEW: Schumer and Feinstein says Senate Judiciary should delay Barrett hearings. “The unfortunate news about the infection of our colleague Senator Mike Lee makes even more clear that health and safety must guide the schedule for all Senate activities, including hearings.”
Bad news but it could be that Mike Lee’s vote is critical. Graham doesn’t have the votes to get the nomination out of committee without it. May have no choice but to postpone until all the Rs on the committee are clean.
Again, blame Romney, Murkowski and Collins.
agreed. If Barrett is not confirmed, the Republican party will have proved beyond doubt they are useless and will cease to exist.
Am I too cynical/ paranoid when I think that the lefties somehow infected the President and his inner circle?
Every time. There record is perfect. And like you say, Republican backbones are like chicken teeth.
He already delayed to the 12th when it certainly wasn't necessary, in fact hearings are not even required.
“Again, blame Romney, Murkowski and Collins.”

It was the White House and GOP Senate leadership that kicked the nomination can down the road.
Last I heard Romney is ready to vote for her. But he’s not in charge of the time table. As I said when the opening came - just do it, procrastination is costly.
Unless that was the plan, right? “We’ll get’em next time!”
NO ..... I have spoken!
I’ll call. What’s the phone number?
Was Trump going to have anything to do with the hearing?
Lindsay is a world class “catcher.” Someone should do something about him.
(202) 224-5972 Graham senate office phone
I agree with you. They are treacherous bastards. the Republicans and Democrats work hand in glove day and night 24/7/ 365 putting the screws to the American People. Lindsey Gram from South Carolina is the poster boy for that. He works on screwing his constituents and the American People two weeks to a month before the election, feeds his constituents a line if bull shit that they believe and they re-elect him and it is off for five more years and 11 months of putting the screws to the American People.
Here’s linda herself assuring everyone that he’ll be starting the hearings Oct 12:
I’m guessing that vid is from earlier today.
