Question:

If Flake votes against moving Kavanaugh from the Committee, can he stop him?

How many GOP and how many DEMs on the committee?

No. If the Committee issued a negative recommendation, the full Senate would vote to confirm.

No. The Committee can only vote to issue a negative recommendation at the worst. Then the full Senate would vote to confirm.

GOP is +1. So Flake can kill this nomination in committee.
