#1 So Flakes legacy will be confirming this slanderous and irresponsible behavior by the democrats.

and I have nothing to show for 90 days of this hearing.

#2 This is how you get a dictator. People sick of gutless wonders, leap at a chance to support anyone with a spine.

#3 The problem is that the accuser came across as believable,at least iflooked actin isolation, and Kavanaugh did not come across as likeable, again in isolation. And isolation is all most people see - and vote on. Flake’s move was probably necessary if the final vote to confirm is to succeed. Like it or not, even the Stupid Party hacks are pros at the game.

#5 Were it not for the uncertainty of the RINO votes, the confirmation could have been put through and not delayed.

Flake was conned by Coons and the Dems?

You would not find such wiffle-waffle with the Dems. They would push a confirmation through if they had the votes and say FUVM.

#6 If a one-week investigation gives the likes of Murkowski and Collins the cover they need to confirm Kavanaugh it will be worth it. I would like to believe the odds are extremely high the FBI will find nothing to support Ford's accusation. But what troubled me the most was a report that Flake was on the telephone with Rod Rosenstein before this decision was made. Also troubling is the fact that he will not face voters in November. I sure hope he's not pulling a McCain on us.
