McConnell had some royal fuckups after he became Majority Leader but I assume cloture means he has the votes. Susan Collins caves again!!!

Ben Sasse just asked the White House to pull the nomination from the Senate floor at 9:20pm
-
Nah, Sasse said he had asked the White House to nominate someone else. As I Nebraskan, I’ve seen his tired routine so many times. He’ll wring his hands and furrow his brow and vote YES.
-
Correct. This is the "Well, I did everything I could" while in fact he didn't do the one thing he could. Rule #1 with today's GOP is never listen to what they're saying. Only look at what they're doing. The two match up less and less as time goes by.

No way, this FBI inquiry was just to give them cover. It's their way of explaining away the allegations. I know because I have family that are Trump supporters and while they were concerned about K during Ford's testimony they feel now that everything is OK with him.

That's called cognitive dissonance ...

Very true

Personal opinion: He didn’t look sad turtle enough for this to be bluster.

Could it also be that he doesn't have the votes and wants to get this over with so he can get someone else confirmed before the election?

In the same vein, I wonder if Trump intended to get rid of Kavanaugh, using the Mississippi rant to hurt the candidacy without alienating Trump's own base. The baton was passed to McConnell, who (as you suggest) does not have the votes but has to clean up the mess.

Nah, she hasn't caved, she's just voting they way she always does. She's two faced, tells her constituents one thing while always doing another.

I thought it was over last week. I’m holding out hope. That may be foolish. But that’s where I am.

I don't understand why James Roche, Kavanaugh's college roommate, wasn't interviewed in the previous 6 FBI background checks. Wouldn't he be someone who would have been interviewed?
-
Maybe Kavanaugh didn't put his name down? It would be easy to get away with; he only roomed w him for one semester and he had at least 2 other roommates that year...one being his best friend.
-
True. I forgot that Roche moved out after one semester. I guess I thought it would be more thorough but I think I remember now that someone mentioned they only check the list that Kavanaugh would have provided.
