Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Brett Kavanaugh: "Never before have we had a nominee display such flagrant partisanship and open hostility at a hearing.
Cloture passes
Murkowski owes Trump...damn her No vote

Murkowski owes Trump...damn her No vote
Murkowski is deserving of a very special kind of disgust.
I hope she pays politically. I guess DiFi intimidation worked. The old crone must have something big on Murkowski.
I guess Murkowski wasn't satisfied with the FBI report. Flake and Collins were.
And I thought they were voting in a block.
I predict Murkowski becomes a full-blown Rat after the midterms. She only stayed an "R" because of her leverage. Once that's gone, there's no reason for her to stay a Republican.
What committee does she chair?...McConnell needs to take it away
I suspect Murkowski is negotiating with the Rats for a Committee position if she jumps.
People do realize that even if the Senate is tied 50-50, the VP gets to vote, right?
Daines best be letting mom know she's walking sunshine down the aisle tomorrow. :smokin:

For all intents and purposes, Murkowski's coalition in AK is half Dem & half GOP.

Just cast my vote for Judge Kavanaugh getting him one step closer onto #SCOTUS. We spoke last night, and I assured him, I will be back to vote YES this weekend if needed. Looking forward to calling Judge Kavanaugh, Justice Kavanaugh.
Whats up with that guy.
Pence on standby in case his vote is needed
Vie President Mike Pence is in Washington this weekend, in case his vote is needed to break a tie, sources tell CBS News.
Pence, while he has expressed his support for Kavanaugh, has been less vocal in his defense of the nominee than has Mr. Trump. At a rally in Minnesota Thursday night, the president blasted Democrats for obstructing his nominee, although it was Republicans who requested the delay in the vote to allow for the FBI probe. The president also reiterated his defense of Kavanaugh on Twitter.
"The harsh and unfair treatment of Judge Brett Kavanaugh is having an incredible upward impact on voters. The PEOPLE get it far better than the politicians. Most importantly, this great life cannot be ruined by mean & despicable Democrats and totally uncorroborated allegations!" the president tweeted Thursday.

Sen. Murkowski says she believes Judge Kavanaugh "is a good man" but maybe “not the right man for" US Supreme Court “at this time.â€
On no vote on cloture, breaking from party line, she says that "I did not come to a decision on this until walking into the floor this morning."
People do realize that even if the Senate is tied 50-50, the VP gets to vote, right?
If, by "people", you mean Democrat constituents then no, they don't have a clue.
If Democrats had their way, there wouldn't be a vote. Instead, they would be spending our tax dollars on barbed wire and cattle cars.
Their rhetoric eventually leads to a Final Solution. I have seen this movie before.
I hate this "if needed" bullshit. Get your ass back to Washington, period. Things in the circus ring change on a dime.Hey, it's his daughters wedding. I am certain that she didn't pick this date knowing this was going to happen. give him a break.

1) Just to be clear on what @lisamurkowski voted for today:
--to legitimize and sign off on the most despicable tactics ever in a nomination.
--to stand with Dianne Feinstein, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris.
--to leave Judge Brett Kavanaugh subject to claims of perjury/impeachment

2)
--to abandon due process and presumption of innocence.
--to potentially leave High Court at a 4-4 deadlock, putting the loony 9th circuit in control of everything that matters to Alaska--development, prop rights, gun rights, enviro rules, etc.
Quite the statement.
She's still rattling on and on, but she's a 'yes'.That is what I sensed as well.
Collins says she will vote yes. Keep liberals away from doorknobs so they don't hang themselves.
OK, with Flake and Collins, we have 50 votes, providing that idiot Daines from Montana shows up. Mike Pence makes 51. Manchin can vote yes or no, will not matter.
Don't go raisin' yer glasses for a toast yet.
The votes aren't counted until tomorrow night or Sunday.
Even then, hold those glasses down until John Roberts swears in Judge Kavanaugh and Mr. Trump shakes his hand.

The next argument we'll here from the Libs is that he's illegitimate due to the fact that the confirmation vote will end up being so close.
Much in the same way they try to delegitimize any 5-4 decision the court makes.
Yes.
There is still room for a dirty trick.
1. Watch for the democrats to end debate EARLIER than 30 hours - so that the scheduled vote occurs while Sen. Daines is walking his daughter down the aisle.
2. Then delay one republican senator through a massive dirty trick...traffic accident, kidnapped family member, etc.
3. Voting is in alphabetical order. Manchin comes after Collins and Flake. Manchin sees what is happening and votes "no".
51 republicans minus MurCOWski, Daines and the delayed senator = 48
Perhaps a stupid question here, but can't the Republicans end debate earlier than 30 hours? Like tonight?

Why would they want to or need to? All it means is that the Democrats will continue to rehash the same old tired and worn stuff that has already been said, ad nauseam. Let them "debate". It's all over but the left's screeching ....cue Rosie O' (fat lady) for the DNC swan song.
They are already demanding he recuse himself from any case involving Democrats.
Less time for anyone to Flake and like the posters above, I'd really like Daines there.
They are already demanding he recuse himself from any case involving Democrats.
He should comply right after Kagan and the wise Latina do that in cases involving republicans.
We were assured Kagan would judge the Obastardcare case fairly, right before she voted to uphold the law she personally defended before the SCOTUS.

You mean in the same way Justice Kagan recused herself from anything dealing with Obamacare? /sarc
