Still needs 60 for passing legislation. Nuke option of 50 + VP is in effect for judicial and executive branch confirmations.
I had to unfriend and unfollow a few more ranting libs on Facebook, so we must be winning.
Yup. On Laura Ingraham’s show earlier tonight, The PAID (she admitted it) head honcho of Code Pink said she and her activists will be in DC ‘for many days to come’.
Thank you for the explanation!
You just know that evil dems are somewhere this very minute brainstorming what they will do to delay the vote tomorrow. As expected they are unhappy with the FBI investigation. I heard the song “Never Enough” from the movie “The Greatest Showman” today and it made me think about how no matter what we do to try and satusfy them it will never be enough.
I belive it is no longer necessary to have 60 votes to invoke cloture thanks to Harry Reid.
Prayer intercessors on extra notice. Ping.
After reading Grassley’s latest letter, I suspect Dem opposition to Kavanaugh may collapse entirely.
You’re right. If ANYTHING related to this required 60 votes, the nomination would be long dead.
Well it will never be enough because this isn’t about confirming a Justice to the USSC. What we are seeing is specific moves and counter moves when boiled down to base matter is protecting abortion. For the left, Roe V Wade must be protected against any and all threats, Judge K is a strict Constitutional judge thus a threat. Therefore,he must be destroyed at all costs. So what they are doing, prepared to do, etc., makes perfect sense. These people have absolutely no guilt or shame over the destruction they have brought to Kavanaugh, his wife or his little girls. And that is evil.
Just want this shameful opposition to be over- hopefully the shameful acts of the left will move independents to vote republican for a good long time- Hopefully the pendulum has swung the other way finally- and America begins to embrace morality and decency once again-
Omg the turtle emoticons are just precious!
Imagine the humiliation of the Demagogic Party, since Mitch is saying this. Thanks GonzoII.
The cloture motion will “ripen” through Thursday and Friday morning until 1 p.m., the latest the cloture vote will likely be held. All 100 Senators may agree to cut the “ripening” period short and hold the cloture vote at 10:30 a.m. Friday morning, however, Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) policy director Rachel Bovard told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
———————-
The cloture vote may pass with a simple majority of 51 votes. If it passes, whether at 10:30 a.m. or 1 p.m., the timer on an additional 30 hours of debate starts. McConnell cannot schedule a final vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation during the 30-hour period only if Democrats monopolize the Senate floor.
The 30-hour time period does not, by itself, prevent Kavanaugh’s vote from being held. The Democrats must hold the Senate floor, one senator speaking at a time for no longer than one hour, and no senator may speak more than twice.
—————————-
If Democrats do not hold the floor, McConnell may call for a vote. If Democrats hold the floor for 30 hours, or McConnell does not call a vote, Kavanaugh‘s confirmation vote will be held after the 30-hour window is closed, likely sometime Saturday evening or night.

Only need 51 now for judges
Will that give Sen. What’s-His-Face time to get to his daughter’s wedding?
I really think these protestors should be kept out of the Capitol Building and hundreds of yards away.
Let’s get it over with before the Rats try something else to thwart the nomination.
Its today. If cloture passes, debate is limited to 30 hours. Final confirmation vote is Saturday.
