Jeff Flake would make Neville Chamberlain proud.

"...hoping the corrupt members of the FBI will lie..."

Yup! And that's exactly what will happen.

Jeff Flake the flake cannot be gone soon enough. January 2019 is none to soon.

He is simply cruel to procedural due process and to the whole Kavanaugh family.

And the next seat to be filled by President Trump? Flake has helped no one, his country least of all.If he had a back bone he would not be flipping and flopping all over the place lie a stoned idiot.

Also, some time to do more background into Ford.
My guess is that this will render her credibility questionable.

The most ridiculous headline I’ve read about Flakey is that CNN calls him a “reliable conservative” - bwahaha.

Flake has no intention of voting yes, as evidenced by his weasel wording. It’ll be his last shot at President Trump.

The odds are in the neighborhood of 100% that more accusers will come forward, causing Collins, Flake, Murkowski and Manchin to be “deeply concerned”.

....and giving the Democrats an excuse for additional delays so that "these troubling new allegations can be properly investigated."

And then the U.S. Senate as an institution—we’re coming apart at the seams.

So he rewards the very people who were responsible for turning this into a circus in the first place?

I plan to support him unless they turn up something—and they might.

This worries me. He was all buddy buddy with the scum Dems at the end. What did they tell him about the surprises they have in store?

He really is a dunce.

The number of justices on the Supreme Court is not set by the Constitution. Trump could decide to expand it to 15 justices - as long as he got the Senate to “advise and consent”. FDR was infamous for expanding and packing the court, IIRC. The Democrats are hoping they can block Kavanaugh beyond the elections where (they think) they will take over the Senate and then they can refuse to approve any Trump nominee until 202 when (they think) they will take the Presidency and then get their pick. The court can remain at eight justices forever if the Senate lets it.

“Roberts just needs to make sure oral arguments are for easy, unanimous cases early and no problem or reason to delay.”

YES. I was just thinking this also.

Save controversial cases for Kavanaugh.

He looks like somebody in the past punched him in the nose.

And present-- too many 'left' hooks and kooks to the right side shifted to the opposite.

“and giving the Democrats an excuse for additional delays so that “these troubling new allegations can be properly investigated.”

That’s the plan and all the bliss ninnies here who think this will be some sort of cover are just Charlie Brown simpletons running for another ball that Lucy set up for them.

Brett won the game for the idiot R’s with his noble defense of himself and the morons we’re supposed to call our “leaders” threw the game in overtime.

Game over, idiots. Brett can’t save you the next time.
