Kavanaugh vote: What time, what channel, how to watch Saturday’s confirmation vote
who ^ | 10/6/2018 | Debbie Lord

Posted on 10/06/2018 6:33:23 AM PDT by Eddie01

What’s going on now: Senators – mostly Democrats, who have said they plan to use the 30 hours of debate granted by the cloture motion – have been delivering speeches to a nearly empty chamber since midday Friday. The speeches will likely continue through Saturday, up until the call for the vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination.

What time: The vote will come at the end of the 30-hour period that began on Friday at 10:52 a.m. EDT. The vote is expected to be taken sometime between 4:45 p.m. and 5 p.m. EDT.

What channel: Cable news networks and network channels will be broadcasting the Senate vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination. You can also watch the vote on C-SPAN 2.

Livestream: You can watch the Senate livestream by clicking here.

What has to happen for Kavanaugh to be confirmed: If no senator changes his or her cloture vote, then Kavanaugh will be confirmed by a vote of 51-49.

Sen. Steve Daines, R-Montana, will be attending his daughter’s wedding on Saturday in Montana, so, unless his vote is needed for the nomination to pass, he may not return to Washington to vote.

If no senator changes his or her cloture vote and Daines does not return to vote, the vote would likely be 50-49.

for the past week I’ve been thinking how Judge Kavanaugh wishes he’d been merely “Borked” ... what he confronted was a whole new level. At least J. Bork only faced criticism of his opinions and writings, nothing disgusted, contrived about his personal sexual behavior that any moron would recognize as totally out of character.

Agreed. Turtle is a lot more trusting of the promises given by Murkowski, Flake,and Manchin than I would be. They're snakes and will bite at the last moment.

They will pay lip service for a few weeks and their minions will scream bloody murder and protest and whatever for a few weeks..but they will move on to deligitimizing the court... because they can’t stop it.

If you pay close attention they have already started with the first trial balloons of messaging to deligitimize the court.. which is even a more dangerous path than the McCarthyism against Kavanaugh.
