It looks like Brett Kavanaugh has the votes to be confirmed as the next Supreme Court Justice. The Washington Examiner reports:
Brett Kavanaugh is on course for the Supreme Court now that wavering GOP senators Jeff Flake and Susan Collins have signaled they will back him after reading the FBI report on sexual assault allegations against him.
Flake, whose about face on Kavanaugh triggered the supplemental FBI report, said there was “no additional corroborating information” in the report. Collins said: “It appears to be a very thorough investigation.”
Neither senator said explicitly they would vote for Kavanaugh, and both said they wanted to take more time to read the FBI report. But their statements indicated they had now remaining problem with the nominee following the FBI’s investigation.
The White House had earlier sent the FBI report to the Senate, stating it was “fully confident” he would be confirmed to the Supreme Court this week with a full Senate vote due on Saturday.
This is a great win for President Trump and conservatives across the nation.
She may or may not have been molested all those years ago. But she can’t remember anything and can not provide any proof of anything. And Kavanaugh has had an excellent record for more than thirty years.
Kavanaugh is innocent until proven guilty, if this were a court of law. Unfortunately it is not; it is a senate judiciary committee which, evidently, does not follow the rule of law. I hope and pray that we get the votes on Saturday or Sunday in favor of confirmation. One never knows until the gavel falls after the vote. I will be happy with a 51-49 vote, as long as he is confirmed. Otherwise, we will witness this again and again and again, until the mid-terms. And should we win there, it will go on forever……
This may not be perceived as a court of law, but our country was founded on these principals that an accused is innocent until proven guilty regardless of the venue.
I would NOT count on Flake or Collins, Flake has such distain for President Trump that I think he would vote NO just to shove a knife in Trumps back. Collins, I fear will vote NO because of the comments made by president Trump mocking Ford . I pray that I am totally wrong and they both come through for their vote of YES !
It frightens me we are 1-2 votes away from Democrat Socialism again… How can so many voters be so stupid?
We want the names of those who voted no so we know who to vote against int he elections.
Every single Democrat, except those in red states and that are up for re-election.
If all the Republicans don,t support him we they need to be put out of office right away by the people of the states they represent
The question is does the Majority Leadership have the votes?
Guess we’ll find out shortly.
Relax people. It’s over. He will be confirmed.
Take the vote and let’s see. Politics has always been about power and selfish interests. This current culture (particularly on the Democrat left) is the most reprehensible that I have experienced in my lifetime. For the sake of some resemblance to any human decency, let’s see who stands for the cherished values of ALL fair minded people of good will and do the right thing.
I STILL DON’T TRUST FLAKE.
Flake will flake out again and Collins can’t be trusted.
Be sure to let them know they need to vote for Kavenaugh, not pander to the democrats again.

The dumb ass Democrats gave it their best! Thank god was not enough!
Don’t count the sleazy, underhanded , vile Democrats out of this fight ! They will try and push back again, now that Ford said she would hand over her medical records and she has much more evidence ! They will stoop to any lows !
I hope all Republicans wake up and support him and also Democrats that have a conscious and willing to open their heart and minds to the truth and not to all these protesters that don’t even know what they are saying and why but are trained to protest and get money. Our tax dollar doesn’t need to be wasted for our Congressmen to listen and be confronted with people like that all day. They are there to help make our country great again and not some emotion women going wild!
I agree with your statement. These antifa and the like are a stain on this country. If the shoe were on the other foot the commiecrats would be screaming bloody murder. They are a worthless bunch. All they want is power. If they get it we can look forward to things that go on in communist countries.Thanks for letting me blow off a little steam. I sure get agrivated with the lefties, actually furious.
