ExtraWaskracht Het verslag van de FBI waarin de interviews staan, maar niet van belangrijke getuigen als bijvoorbeeld Ford en Kavanaugh zelf is beland in de Senaat.
ExtraWaskracht Heitkamp gaat tegen Kavanaugh stemmen. Ze doet het al superslecht in de meest recente polls waarin ze met dubbele cijfers achter haar republikeinse tegenstrever staat... lijkt me sterk dat dit haar kans zal vergroten?
ExtraWaskracht GOP nervous ahead of Kavanaugh vote: “We don’t have 50 right now” (Axios) Sources involved with Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation are nervous going into today's 10:30 a.m. test vote. Four senators are undecideds: Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). A senior source involved in the process told me fairly late last night: "We’re going into this vote and we don’t have 50 right now." "There’s been a lot of work that was done today, by members wading through this material. I don’t want to put my thumb on the scale. Things keep moving — so much, it feels like we’re walking on quicksand. So I don’t even want to say confidence or not confidence." "Sometimes you just have to vote," the source added. "But what if ... something f—g happens in the morning? This whole process has just been ... so much drama, so many balls coming out at the last minute." At 7:30 last night, Kavanaugh gave his final argument in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, "I Am an Independent, Impartial Judge: Yes, I was emotional last Thursday. I hope everyone can understand I was there as a son, husband and dad." "I might have been too emotional at times. I know that my tone was sharp, and I said a few things I should not have said." Be smart: The piece looks wildly desperate. It's a sign of how worried Team Kavanaugh is that a Supreme Court nominee felt he had to publish a last-minute op-ed to promise he’s not going to be emotional, but rather an independent, impartial Supreme Court justice. Had eigenlijk wel verwacht dat ze de stemmen wel hadden ... hoewel, dan hadden ze waarschijnlijk wel al gestemd?
