Here we go again...

9.18.18:

The Senate Judiciary committee votes on the nominee.  If that vote fails, then the nomination fails.

Jeff Flake, the Senator who cannot be reelected, is holding up that vote.  Also, it is said that a few other Senators are holding up the vote, which implies that the nomination might fail in the floor vote, if it got there.

If it got to a floor vote, a lot of Democrats in red states are going to have to vote.  This may cause them to lose a close reelection bid either way they vote.

All of this comes down to Flake, then.  We have to put up with this because of Flake.  No wonder he couldn't get reelected.

Well, it certainly appears that my opinion isn't in the majority.

If these guys really think this nomination is important, they wouldn't allow this act of desperation.

The deeds of the so-called conservatives don't match the lofty words they like to use.  Can't imagine why they would let the Democrats pull this stunt.  Weak.  But of course, it makes sense if they really want to lose while looking virtuous.  Hah, hah, hah.

All of their credibility is on the line.  Why would they sacrifice it on the altar of what the Democrats will say about it?  Who cares what they think?  Evidently, the GOP dopes do.

It's failure theater time, boys and girls!

They are going to have Kavanaugh and his accuser in for an appearance before the Senate committee.

The allegation cannot be proven or disproven.

Facts seem to point out that there would have to be witnesses.  If these show up all of a sudden, then I will suspect another setup.

It is 40 years after the allegation.  I do not believe that any case can be tried on the facts after such a long period of time.  This does not deserve the time of day.

In my opinion, this is just an excuse to fail.  As soon as Bill Clinton is tried to raping Juanita Broadrick, then we can consider this.

Of course, the dainty hands, and the impeccable integrity of the likes Jeff Flake must rule the day.  Gag me with a spoon.
