udge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court is poised for a vote Friday morning by the Senate Judiciary Committee amid high partisan tensions.
The Republican-led committee began a crucial meeting to debate and then to vote on whether to advance the nomination to the full Senate a day after nearly nine hours of emotional and at times wrenching testimony from the judge and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, on her allegation of sexual assault when they were teens.
Here's how the day is unfolding:
11:31 a.m.: Red and blue take over the meeting room
Hoping to propel Kavanaughs nomination forward, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said, Our job now is to vote. Today, we're going to do that.
Minutes after, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., panned her Republican counterparts, asserting, There was a lot of chest beating that went on yesterday. On the other side. And it was pretty effective, I guess, if the goal was to distract the American public from what they had heard in the morning, to distract and deflect from the moving, powerful testimony we heard.
11:23 a.m.: The New York Times editorial board weighs in: Why Brett Kavanaugh Wasnt Believable
Where Christine Blasey Ford was calm and dignified, Brett Kavanaugh was volatile and belligerent, the editorial begins.

Snowflaking ain’t easy for the New York Times.
Democrats think sitting on the floor and pouting is "leadership".
Oh, tantrum time. Oops, didn’t work, now get back to work or resign from the committee and congress.
Just keep walking. You will not be missed.
The Animal House defense ..
Or blow vuvuzelas and crap in the hallways like happened after the last “fleabagging”.
Well, bye.
“The Animal House defense ..”
Please don’t blaspheme AH by comparing it to these Rat Libtards! ;0
I don’t think the Democrats have done enough to make themselves look like craven fools and make Kavanaugh despise them.
Perhaps they could fling feces and urine around during the main confirmation vote? (This would be one of the more sensible and dignified things they would have done in the past few weeks.)
And they’ll stay out holding their breath until they turn blue - guess that’ll show ‘em.
Bump
That photo of the Dems is hilarious! What a bunch of pouty toddlers.
With these kind of juvenile optics, I’m betting on a red wave in 45 days. Won’t count on it until I and everyone capable to do so votes straight Republican.
I do not want these insane socialist, anti-American idiots back in power. They are evil...and stupid.
Maybe they all just drank too much iced tea?
Believe Kavanaugh or Ford? Vote.

Power-hungry Democrats are going to keep arguing for Dr. Ford protecting the politically correct, constitutionally unprotected right to have an abortion until George Soros runs out of money.
Other than selling themselves as defenders of vote-winning, sacred cow abortion, blind leading the blind incompetent Democrats have nothing to offer the nation imo.
The wailing and knashing of teeth continues. LOL!
What is going on? Thought the vote was supposed to be at 1:30????
