    Crapo says that he believes that Ford was testifying truthfully that she was the victim of a sexual assault. He then says that he believes Kavanaugh was testifying truthfully. He then concludes: "Because of that, I will vote yes today" to advance Kavanaugh's nomination.

        It is so confusing to see Jeff Flake and others assert that doubt means someone should get a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. https://www.flake.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=D00A6D7D-91F1-483C-90A4-7E75B604B3DF …pic.twitter.com/C0HK3haC3N

        Speeches are over, things are still weird as hell. Towards the end every single Democrat, except Blumenthal who was speaking, was outside of the hearing room. Lotta speculation about what’s going down.

        Flake: “I think it would be proper to delay the floor vote for up to but not more than 1 week” to allow for further FBI investigation, “to do all due diligence.” He will still vote to allow the nomination to proceed.

        The nominee has been voted out of committee on an 11-10 vote. Flake: “I will only be comfortable moving forward on the floor” with a one-week delay to allow for the FBI to do further investigation.

        Replying to @chrisgeidner

        It is their way to say they believe her (so they don't alienate women voters) while saying they believe their far rightist Supreme Court nominee at the same time. But really this is just a new way to say "I don't believe her, I believe him". #broculture
