Actually, Trump has to be pursuaded to get the fbi to investigate. If he declines, then the vote happens.
I hope he refuses.

Trump says I want updated FBI notes on my desk by Sunday night

doesn't ask for delay... just asks for updated FBI notes

waves them out there as soon as Sunday night... floor vote Tuesday

Trump is speaking now. Says hes staying out of it and leaving it up to Grassley and them.

Did the repubs pull a rope a dope?

If he does that it is a loss. The Dems next move is to say, "Well, a 3 day FBI investigation on such an important issue is too short. We need a comprehensive investigation, hopefully concluding by the Christmas holidays."

So does this 11-10 vote make it legal to gang rape women now or do I have to wait for the Senate vote?

Well I completely missed this then. So the condition, for it to have any effect, would need to be an Amendment to the vote to confirm Kav?


There is no amendment and this was made abundantly clear by flake and grassley.

Flake has a handshake deal with dems that he would pass this to the floor of the senate, but not vote there to confirm without the exact 1 week fbi investigation into current allegations.

trump has to approve fbi investigation.

McConnell and Schumer have to agree to postpone the vote pending an fbi investigation.

Flake is probably useless anyway, we still have Pence for the tie breaker.

I guess I am wrong on the time frame. What I do know is that Cavanaugh’s nomination has moved past this committee. I think flake told Feinstein one thing and then did another based on her reaction.

Senator Graham seemed pretty damn pleased with the whole thing so I don’t think there is much doubt that he will ultimately be confirmed
Yes, They just showed Graham saying he has never been more confident in Justice Kav.

Also go read Chad's page it is all complicated. Justice Thomas never got the committee votes that KAV GOT TODAY but is now a SCOTUS Justice.

Graham has POTUS on speed dial and has probably already talked to the WH lawyers and turtle to do what they want to; giving Flake political and his family literal cover as he was threatened.

The FBI cannot conduct a criminal investigation into an alleged 1982 state crime. They can reopen the background file and add 302s that will be redundant with what the committee already did. But of course Dems will then say that wasn't a "real" investigation. Flake got played.

now turtle will deal with it with the WH.saying yay or nay to the stupid FBI investigation.



There is nothing more for the FBI to.do.

There is already sworn testimony from both accused and accuser and all witnesses named by accuser deny the events ever happened.

These people do not want an investigation they want a delay until after Oct 1 so. Kavenaugh will miss this Supreme Court session and then they can work on winning the midterms to nominate some psychotic liberal who will shred the constitution to pieces after they either impeach or kill Trump. That is their end goal.

Democrats yes but not Flake. He just wants there to be a few extra days. He wouldn't extend it more I don't think.

Which means nothing. If they need his vote, they have it. If they don't, he can cuck out on his way out the door.

If confirmed after the session starts he won't miss the entire thing. Gorsuch wasn't sworn in until April and was part of several decisions at the end of the term.

Kav just would not be able to rule on anything that had arguments before the court before he was sworn in.

Then he should advise his Democrat friends, "Next time - let's bring this silly shite out early so we can dispose of it before fricking months drag on. Help me help you."
