@Draco-Onis These moments didn't die with McCain afterall! woot!
Murkowski is now calling for a week delay for the FBI to investigate as well. I'd expect all the moderates to now join and call for the same. Best way to win brownie points with voters and those two together is enough to sink Kav anyway if they pushed ahead and forced a vote without an investigation, so they lose nothing.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

Flake seems to have take the cowards route and voted out of Committee but now wants to delay for investigation. I wonder though . . . .
Wasn't Kavanaugh always going to get out of Committee? Even if Flake voted no, wouldn't McConnell just boot him and get a "yes" Repub in there? Now, Krapey is on the Floor, and everyone can start counting real votes and get this done, one way or another - even if long delay pending investigation is one solution.
Absolutely guarantee they vote yes. This was their get out of jail card with the voters. "Hey guys, we investigated/tried!" If the FBI does investigate, as Republicans said, they'll give a recommendation - and if it's not favorable for Kavanaugh, Republicans will do the same thing they do every time they get an FBI assessment they don't like. Ignore it, call the FBI a fraud on Fox News, do what they want.

So you agree, Kavanaugh is not credible.
"But nobody has seen the order itself. At least seven news outlets submitted requests at the civil courthouse in downtown Miami for the document, but clerks are unsure if it's in storage or was destroyed."
"Swetnick has worked for the federal government for many years and has held seven government security clearances. And there are plenty of court records that raise questions about Vinneccy himself that have so far gone unmentioned. "

With all of this going on, if the FBI came out with something unfavorable to them and they ignored it and went ahead anyways, they could kiss the Senate goodbye this November as well with the Republicans knowing they are screwed for the next few cycles.
Their only option if they went that route was to try and bury the FBI results and lie about them hoping they didn't leak out. And then, if it leaked out revealing that lie, holy hell.
