    If they show Kavanaugh outright knowingly lied to the SJC he should be off the DC Circuit.

      But it's kinda amazing how often you and Joe find crap like from the Post, or Fox, or the WSJ, and can't figure out that it's crap on your own. You just have to ask questions.

      And the Biden rule thing is 2-year old crap at this point. You can't tell me you didn't hear about it during the Garland non-hearings.
      Would you like a link to the Post article?

      I'd think you'd be happy I'd ask and not just buy in blindly.

      And why ask here? Because (a) it's a discussion forum and (b) there tends to be some pretty good explanations.

          They're probably just letting it go to VM.

            The tax bill vote took no guts since it was decided the way it was regardless of his vote. McCain's vote on Obamacare caught many off guard, so I'm not seeing much courage there either. This vote is still at least somewhat in the air, we are only weeks away from a very close Senate race and he is already stating his position. Before the Ford allegations became public knowledge I would have bet the farm he was going to vote to confirm him even though even absent the drunken frat boy sexual assault Kavanaugh has no business on the Supreme Court.

              May have been a combination of all that but I will give Flake credit here whatever his motives are. One website (buzzfeed maybe) posted the priceless reactions of the Goopers on the Judiciary committee when they received word that they had to delay the vote for a week. Pretty funny stuff.

              Having said that, I think Flake is the deciding vote here. Purely for political reasons I can see Collins voting no to preserve her political future in the 2020 elections. That's all well and fine if every other Republican holds the line. Murkowski has more to lose than gain from Chump's wrath so I wouldn't count on her any. That means Flake who probably agrees with Kavanaugh's positions but hates Trump and has nothing to lose given that his political career is essentially dead.
              I don’t get the impression the average person cares a lot about this in Maine. Also, Collins will be 68 in 2020 and might decide not to run. I doubt she lets 2020 have much impact in her decision.

                Oh my god Jon Oliver killed it!

                BTW having seen Brett's testimony again...I cant prove that it says "cry here for effect" at random points in his written testimony I just know it is true.

                  Collins is an opportunist and I'm sure she's running polls right now regarding her decision. Also, 68 is young for the Senate.

                    If Collins isnt running then she has no reason to not vote no. I guess I hope Drew is right

                                Had to read one of Dershowitz's books in college. Can't figure out what he's doing in the Trump camp. Getting paid handsomely, I suppose.
