Why would Lindsey Graham give away all the good will he gained yesterday? Why wouldn’t he continue to hang tough? Why?

Very, very disappointed. This means he doesn’t get to be part of the next session.

What the hell are you talking about? Kavanaugh can be seated during the session.

There is no silver lining....the Republicans have lost again, idiots.

The FBI will leak some damaging info on someone...the Dems will get more delay...Kav will not be nominated.

New lies from women will emerge. And on and on.

He can’t vote on things for this session though.

FBI background investigation would be limited to current credible allegations against the nominee

There ARE NO CREDIBLE ALLEGATIONS against the nominee.

Correct, and it’s happened quite a bit.

Hudson v. Michigan and Kansas v. Marsh were both reargued after Alito was seated and his vote was needed to break a 4-4 tie.

“The FBI needs to probe Ford.”

Your point is valid.

She is utterly busted. Complete fake. Within a few days the internet is going to know her game.

They were willing to make up a fake dossier. New accusations that will have to be investigated as well. Flake is not being savvy, he is being Flake.

It is past the time where we have to prove that we are not disingenuous.

It would be better to have a confirmed Supreme Court Justice and let the Senators who are interested in sticking around for another term go home and campaign some, and give time for the hoopla to die down a bit for the sake of those with short attention spans.

This will not change the vote. Kavanaugh will be the next Supreme Court Justice. After their horrible conduct on this judicial nomination, Democrats will be soundly defeated in the mid-terms in an unprecedented way. Republicans will keep their majorities, and President Trump will get 2 more years of accomplishments before the 2020 election.

I am so done with the stupid party. They are complicit with the dems in turning what should be a dignified process into a 3-ring circus. They are definitely complicit in destroy this fine man.

I will remain a republican for as long as President Trump is in office after that I am done.

Sure he does - he just cannot rule on any arguments he misses in the first couple of weeks. I’m sure the calendar has been arranged with this in mind.

“So what do you think the FBI is going to have on the Judge?”

Supposedly she is connected to the CIA. Judge probably has a lot of crap on him that they know about and that’s why they named him as being there. He has no credibility.

Agreed. I recall reading on another thread earlier this afternoon someone commenting on the GOP have at least 4-5 Senate seats in the bag right now because the Dems screwed this whole thing up so bigly with the blatantly obvious falsehoods that even the late Ray Charles could see through if he were still with us. When you get out of the little dreamworld of the media, I’d dare say many are really fed up and angry with this show because of that.

The court can set any tied cases for reargument.

Please don’t lump all of the GOP together on this.

It’s a small minority of RNC senators that forced this delay.

They agree FBI finds zip and Dems all still vote NO.

They will also try for another/other extension(s) after this one and we all know it.

Repubs are such spineless POS A-holes.

That is what happens when your vote margin is not very big. Taking 4 or 5 new seats at the midterm will make those votes less relevant. I can wait a week they don’t have anything on him or it would already be out there.

He can be seated but he will not have been part of the initial process and can’t vote. There must be something very important to the Dems that would be on this calendar, because their whole aim has been to delay. And they got away with it.
