UPDATE:

Flake Video

It passed with yays and McConnell has it now.

If you want to skip around, or you can't watch and just want a summary.

4:11:55 is Grassley calling on Flake for point of personal privilege (not motion for amendment)

4:13:46 Grassley calls the vote to move the nomination out of committee and to the floor.

4:14:36 Feinstein has to have an assistant try to explain what is happening because she is completely lost and has no ability to do her job.

4:15:05 Vote passes 11-10

4:16:14 Feinstein states that she has no idea what's going on and hasn't been paying attention.

4:17:06 Sen Leahy also has no idea what's going on and clearly doesn't understand the powers of the committee

4:17:40 Flake shows that he might have meant to frick the democrats.

4:18:00 is Grassley explaining that there is no amendment.

4:18:16 is Sen Klobuchar describing exactly how much of an arse bite Flake is and how partisan the democrats are.

4:19:13 is Sen Cornyn thanking Flake for getting on his knees in the backroom

4:20:18 Diane Feinstein's life falls apart and Flake confirms there was a backroom deal to delay the vote.

4:21:00 Flake waffles and tries to save some face

4:21:48 is when Grassley adjurns the session and Feinstein has an alzheimers moment.

Senate Judiciary Cmte to meet at 9:30 am to vote on Kavanaugh nomination to send it to the flr. Actual vote expected to come an hr or more later. A successful cmte vote is not required to put a nomination on the flr

I believe I read on Chad's page that Justice Thomas didn't get the committee votes and he obviously made it.

Even political junkies can't understand all of the procedures it seems. Read Chad's twitter feed to understand it all.

What’s the point in the committee vote if it can go to the floor anyway?

FOX just reported Flake is a yes. Likely means Collins and murkowski will follow suit. Maybe

The Senate Judiciary Cmte is about to meet. Expect a vote over the next couple hours on the Kavanaugh nomination..and to send the nomination to the floor. The committee is split 11 GOPers to 10 Democrats. Expect debate, perhaps some parliamentary calisthenics and may protests.

Keep in mind that the committee can give the nominee a favorable recommendation, an unfavorable recommendation or send the nomination to the floor with no recommendation at all. The latter scenario is what happened with Justice Clarence Thomas, who was confirmed.

The committee is the investigation part of the Senate. They simply investigate and then advise. They can advise to Confirm, Not to Confirm, or No Opinion....either way. It is not like a bill that can be stalled. The Senate Majority can call for a vote whether the committee has taken any action and no matter what action it takes.

Collins will be a yes, I believe that the vile tactics used against her, her office and staff have pushed her to the side of angels on this

I heard that the usual No's would be voting together YES for Kav in what they call a block vote.
