I'll say it again - I drank pretty much the most of anybody in college - and never once blacked out on anything.

Bray Wyatt Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 6 minutes ago, Magox said: I dont think he will be confirmed It looks like it will be a murkowski swap with manchin that still leaves at 51, and if another repub leaves that still leaves Pence as the tie breaker. Slim margin for sure though

These votes are all calculated, and nothing is a surprise to the members. It might well be a situation where she's trying to appease everyone: IE. No for cloture, but Yes for confirmation. 2

Bray Wyatt Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 1 minute ago, Dr. Who said: Do you think Flake or Collins is a no? If not, I don't see how he isn't confirmed. Yeah as long as we have 50 votes, Pence breaks the tie, and if we have Manchin voting yes, then its a lock imo

Magox Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 4 minutes ago, Dr. Who said: Do you think Flake or Collins is a no? If not, I don't see how he isn't confirmed. I dont know. I thought that Murkowski was the most likely to vote for him. Now that Murkowski is a no, I think that makes it easier for the others to say no. I dont think he will be confirmed

Now that Murkowski is a no, I think that makes it easier for the others to say no. I dont think he will be confirmed I heard Murkowski was likely a no yesterday, so there must have been whispers in that direction. I just rather doubt GOP would have called for a cloture vote without reasonable confidence they had the minimum.
BillsFanNC Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Collins press conference at 3 PM. Manchin statement forthcoming. 1
DC Tom Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 I'd expected the cloture vote to be more in favor - I'd expected more Senators to want to end this farce, and get to the floor vote to vote no. Murkowski's vote against cloture puzzles me. It's almost as if she doesn't understand how the process works.

Magox Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Predictit has it 83% chance he will be confirmed. https://www.predictit.org/Contract/12469/Will-Brett-Kavanaugh-be-the-next-confirmed-Supreme-Court-justice#data I'm not buying it
