#BREAKING: @JeffFlake says Judiciary Cmte owes “due diligence” so it would be “proper” to delay #Kavanaugh floor vote for up to one week for further FBI investigation. (But GOP Senate leadership could simply not follow this. Meanwhile Flake votes to advance nominee to floor)
Senator @ChrisCoons (*chokes up): Jeff Flake & I don’t share a lot of political views, but we do share deep concern * for the health of this institution. And what it means to the rest of the world & our country if we’re unable to conduct ourselves respectively & hear each other.
@ChrisCoons @JudiciaryDems @SenateDems @SenateGOP @JeffFlake THIS is key: GOP Senate leader McConnell doesn't have the votes for #Kavanaugh if both Flake and @lisamurkowski support a one week delay in order to complete a further FBI investigation in sexual assault allegations. …Now who's going to ask Trump to order the FBI to investigate?

Wall shutdown showdown’s next act: Trump goes to southern border Thursday “to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.” He’s not negotiating a deal. He’s putting on shows to keep his propaganda on TV/media. Maybe he’ll bring a caravan😒
Trump to visit southern border after telling aides on Sunday he wanted them to come up with a resolution to the shutdown fight that would reopen the government—without him appearing to have capitulated to Democrats. via @WSJ wsj.com/articles/trump…
TV networks agreeing to air Trump's far-right wall propaganda address as if a real national security emergency is pretty despicable. An ominous sign that they haven't learned much about how propagandists use media to elevate bullshit in ways that undermine our country & the press

MAGA America: Trump’s about to speak in the Rose Garden. He reportedly just threatened to keep the govt shutdown for “months and years” over his campaign con wall. While a federal worker tells CNN she can’t pay her bill. #winning 🙃
Trump: “Tremendous things are happening. Wages are finally going up. It’s beautiful. That doesn’t happen from luck. I worked hard on that.” Now he’s just rambling about “open borders,” people getting shot, children…“Coyotes take a left, turn at the wall or powerful steel.” 🤦‍♀️😒

Judiciary Committee in recess amid stories that Flake is caucusing with Coons for unknown reasons. CNN showing the clip of Flake's elevator encounter with survivors of sexual abuse from earlier in the day.
Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on Kavanaugh nom in less than fifteen minutes. Lots of whispering happening. People ducking in and out of the room to confer.
No firm reason yet to believe that anything monumental is happening, btw. Just weird pre-vote jitteriness so far.

I'm here at the Senate Judiciary Committee, where the committee is gearing up to vote to send Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Senate floor.
Democratic Sen. Blumenthal is speaking now. "The session yesterday was a job interview for a job like no other… and my belief is that this decision on how to vote, and I will vote no, is one of the most important decisions that I will make as a US senator"
Blumenthal, like Booker, is pointing out that Kavanaugh yesterday had said that four witnesses had denied Dr. Ford's account, where what they actually have said is that they do not remember / do not know.

Republicans vote down @SenBlumenthal's motion to subpoena Mark Judge, the one alleged eyewitness to Kavanaugh's assault on Ford. They're perpetrating a coverup.
.@ChuckGrassley falsely claims that Dr Ford's testimony has been "refuted."

"The existing evidence, including the statement of three alleged eyewitnesses named by Dr. Ford, refutes Dr. Ford's version of the facts," he says.

(There's only one eyewitness & he hasn't testified.)
Grassley, who is struggling to read, absurdly claims that Kavanaugh's confirmation process "was the most thorough and transparent confirmation process of all."

The American Bar Association is calling on the Senate Judiciary Committee to halt the consideration of Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh until an FBI investigation is completed. cnn.com/2018/09/27/pol…
Signed by Robert M. Carlson, President of the American Bar Association.
‘Impeaching Kavanaugh would be just like impeaching a president. What constitutes an impeachable offense, is less than completely clear.”
“high crime or misdemeanor.”
The best answer might be that an impeachable offense is whatever the House and Senate think it is.’

Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement makes him seem overtly political. Not a good look for a Judge hoping to be a Supreme Court Justice. #KavanaughHearings
HOLY SHIT!!! Did Brett Kavanaugh really just say this is a political hit by the Clintons?!! Really?! The GOP playbook is so predictable, and getting old, when in doubt blame the email lady. #KavanaughHearings
I cant even pay attention to the rest of Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement I am still dumbfounded that Kavanaugh really just said that this is a plot by the Clintons. How, why, what? How could HRC have orchestrated this? Its just utterly ridiculous. #KavanaughHearings
