It’s Over: Flake And Collins Agree Kavanaugh FBI Report Is Good As Democrats ...
Redstate ^ | October 4, 2018 | Brandon Morse

These previous weeks have been nothing short of unprecedented. The Democrats pulled every dirty trick in the book to make sure Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh never donned the robe of a Supreme Court Justice.

But all of this now seems to be coming to an end as the FBI investigation has come back with nothing damning against Kavanaugh, and Mitch McConnell now calling for the vote to confirm Kavanaugh to be held tomorrow. As Joe Cunningham wrote earlier, McConnell wouldn’t be calling for the vote if he didn’t have them.

Sen. Jeff Flake and Susan Collins also appear to be in as it’s been reported that he’s now fully satisfied with the FBI findings.

If there were any question that these two Republicans might turn against Kavanaugh, that worry now seems to be in the past. It seems, as of now, that Democrats have been defeated, and judging by reports coming from the hill, they know it.

NPR Congressional Reporter Kelsey Snell reported that Senate Democrats from the Judiciary Committee were filing out of Chuck Schumer’s office “stone-faced.”

Many are waiting to believe Kavanaugh will be confirmed when they see it, and they’re right to do so. There’s no telling what kind of tricks Democrats will try to pull at the last second to prevent Kavanaugh’s nomination. A lot rides on him not making it into the Supreme Court which will give conservatives control for the next generation.

However, at this time, it appears the Kavanaugh saga is about to come to an end. The vote is now approaching quickly, and if Snell’s description of the Democrat’s attitudes coming out of Schumer’s office is accurate, they know there is nothing they can do to stop it.

From the Democrats’ perspective: guilty, until proven guilty.

Flake has commented that he is troubled by BK being “highly partisan.”

Nothing is over.

Flake always has the “tone” issue to fall back on.

Their grandstanding is over... for now

“I’m going to vote against him because my party told me to vote against him.”

Are they United States Senators or Democrat Party Senators?

If they’re just Democrat Party Senators, then maybe we can find a sewage lagoon and call it Democratland and they can be Senators for that.

These Democrats have forgotten who they work for.

If you believe this, then you have no idea how truly debased and unholy the Democrats happen to be.

Flake will Flake again. Count on it.

Collins is a falling Maine leaf blowing in the wind.

Murkowski....well, she just blows.

Vote On!

Same here. Flake is a pathological drama queen and a liar.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

It's never over until it's over. Never underestimate the Republicans capacity for stupidity and cowardice.

If blumenthal gets any more stone-faced, they’ll put him up on Mount Rushmore.

Why do they constantly refer to Diane Feinstein as “the rank member?” Should someone give her some deodorant?

Watch which dems hang out till the very end ... get permission and then some will vote to confirm ... knowing that they tried to ruin the guy and then to appease their constituents and get votes praise him.
They are low life scum and should be remembered as such

Sweet Jesus! Kavanaugh gets confirmed AND the Dems get shellacked in the mid-terms.

Oh, please let it be so.

Flake HAS to be on drugs. Defending yourself and family from bogus charges is partisan? What a douche bag.
