Kennedy to retire - USSC will swing even further right

Wow, will Flake end up flaking out?

 

I didn't mean to imply they advised Ford to delay--the delay was entirely on Feinstein's part. I'm in agreement here with Bobby about the basics of how it might have played out differently

 

Lying about it and not being truthful is!

 

Looks like Flake is auctioning off his vote, who will be the highest bidder?

 

Yes, Dr. Ford did not give Feinstein the letter to sit on it, She wanted them to have the information and also wanted her privacy. Feinstein definitely should have handled this in the manner laid out by @Bobbythegreat instead of making this a political crap storm. I do believe there is a good chance something bad happened to Dr. Ford but I do not believe BK was involved because of the witnesses she listed denied such a gathering ever happened even her female friend who she said was there.

 

I hear allegations that Democrats shoved Jeff Flake into a back room and ran a train on him. Corey Booker then jumped on top and Flake was able to escape, now he can't fly.

 

I am unable to watch right now but it would not surprise me if he does.

 

Turns out the Democrats' check cleared and Flake is flaking out.

 

chuckle*

 

Oh, but while their check cleared, it might not have been for enough money.

 

Hold up just because Flake made this suggestion doesn't mean he will get the investigation.

 

No it does not. He's just said that he would feel more comfortable if there was that investigation.

 

"gentleman's and women's agreement." lol

 

Feinstein: "What!?"

 

While Flake was the deciding vote in committee, he's not the deciding vote in the overall Senate, since it has moved out of committee we'll see what happens.

 

Flake doing this must know that he has a couple of those fence riders on his side to force an investigation.

Trump is going to be pissed!! if this happens, lol.

 

impact on roe vs wade remains to be seen though everything i've seen are his views are to uphold but with stricter rules and regulations which seems reasonable to protect the rights of the mother and the unborn. but again we'll have to see where it goes. having said that, i would argue that under trump (very liberal on that front) it's not an important issue and probably wouldn't come up.

but this goes back to the larger picture, why can't dems win and even when they win they don't fight dirty like the repubnants. finally with trump they have but they still have to turn it into wins especially at the local and state levels where social issues have more impact than federal.

 

Man all this came out in a day imagine what will happen in a week.
