Right-wing shitbags live to get yelled at by women on elevators. They dine out with their right-wing shitbag friends on that for months

If Republicans paid serious attention to the ABA, Thomas wouldn’t be on the Supreme Court.

Lindsey Graham just sighed, rolled his eyes and slumped. Orrin Hatch looks stunned. Jeff Flake and Chuck Grassley are still missing and the vote was supposed to happen 7 minutes ago. None of these are bad signs. #KavanaughVote #DelayTheVote

The Judiciary Committee was supposed to vote on Kavanaugh 10 minutes ago. Currently no sign when that’s going to happen. Republicans have clearly hit a roadblock. To quote the @StevenTDennis mantra “When you have the votes, you vote. When you don’t have the votes, you talk."

I really don’t want to believe that someone finally found the point below which Flake won’t go, because I know how disappointing that will be when he votes for confirmation.

I shifted to become pro-#DelayTheVote and believe there should be a one-week investigation before the vote -- and if I am moveable, given where I started at the beginning of this nomination, I am not discounting that a few R Senators may be, too

If Flake insists on an FBI investigation, will that alone sink Kavanaugh?

I can’t imagine a week-long investigation will uncover anything dispositive. What if they do that, FBI comes up with nothing, and then they hold a vote?

If…Flake finds his spine and at least calls for an FBI investigation, well…

These two fierce women, @AnaMariaArchil2 and Maria Gallagher, just shared their stories of survival with @JeffFlake and demanded he vote no on Kavanaugh. He refused to look at them or answer. They are heroes. He is a disgrace. #StopKavanaugh #KavanaughHearings https://t.co/i1QbjDqsbE

.@KellyO reports just now on @msnbc that there are "serious discussions" underway right now about a delay in the vote so that the FBI could reopen the background check. That is the cause for the delay, she says.

@StevenTDennis Aaand Flake and Grassley just went into another room together (couldn’t see if Feinstein did too, but seems likely.) Looks like whatever this is is in the final stages of being worked out.

So, Jeff Flake?

Maybe Flake just delights in fucking with people?

Flake says he IS going to vote to advance Kavanaugh's nomination, but on the "understanding" that there'll be a delay to do an FBI investigation. There is some confusion.

5:53 PM - 28 Sep 2018 9 12

So He’s saying he’s a Yes to get out of committee, but “let’s have an investigation”

Grassley’s gonna be like “Suuuuuuuuuure Jeff. Let’s go to the floor.”
