Kavanaugh’s fate now rests with three GOP senators — Flake, Murkowski and Collins

Committee Vote Scheduled For Friday On Kavanaugh, Floor Vote For Saturday

Yahoo  "It was a seesaw day of directly conflicting testimony and partisan sniping, but by the evening, the fate of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court lay — as it has all along — with three Republican senators.

"Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, will determine whether Kavanaugh’s nomination moves forward toward confirmation this weekend, is delayed or goes down altogether." . . . Flake isn't exactly a fire-breathing "yes".

Being a "glass is only half-full" kind of guy, I'm a bit afraid of being optimistic, but let's hope this turns out to be prophetic. TD:

Conclusion from yesterday's hearing: Kavanaugh will be confirmed 
Ford's inconsistencies listed and explored.

She couldn't answer if she paid for the polygraph, and her attorneys had to answer that they paid for the polygraph.
She hired the attorney, Katz, recommended by Senator Feinstein.  Instead of reporting the allegation to the entire Judiciary Committee, Feinstein referred her to an activist Dem attorney.

. . . "Kavanaugh showed resilience and courage, like Trump.  Kavanaugh was real and honest, unlike Ford.

"Finally, the Republicans on the committee, led by Senator Graham, got tired of the lies by the Democrats and stood up to defend Kavanaugh.

"Senator Grassley responded forcefully to the Dems who kept whining about an FBI investigation.  Grassley pointed out that the Dems hid the July 30 letter, preventing the committee from investigating the accusation until after the confirmation hearings.

"Senator Graham summed it up perfectly: Feinstein and the Dems leaked the July 30 letter after the confirmation to delay the confirmation vote until after the November elections."

Kavanaugh compromise for Dems: Confirm now, impeach later. . . "I wish I could say we've seen the depths of darkness from the left.  Sadly, we haven't.  Things are going to get much darker."

Sen. Corker says yes  . . . "The senator concedes that Kavanaugh is "qualified to serve on the Supreme Court" and will be voting to confirm him." . . .
