Triple Espresso of Coffee Talk

Did Flake ask for a week delay just now? I'm confused.

Yes sir.

 

[Darkstone42]

Yes sir.

Good for him. I'd have preferred an outright no from him, but this is better than a yes.

 

[Comeds]

Looks like this might not be over.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Ah dammit, I bet I wont laugh as hard this weekend as I did reading this exchange.

Flake has asked for a week to investigate further. The Republicans are yielding because he won't vote "yay" otherwise.

In short... 2 ladies at an elevator gave him second thoughts and may cost a nominee a seat on the Supreme Court.

Although honestly, a week isn't much time.

You're in Maryland, shouldn't be too hard to find a homecoming parade for you to destroy.

As I listen to him more, he's being pretty clever about it. He knows he has to sell the republicans on this, and he's taking the angle that people will mistrust them if they push Kavanaugh through without an investigation.

I guess yelling at senators works.

I got the impression from Flake's body language much earlier that his "yes" was going to be conflicted regardless, but I think the confrontations on his way to the meeting were essential in transforming that doubt into this delay.

Conflicted in that he probably knows he should vote no but if he torpedoes the one chance Republicans have to get an unassailable conservative SCOTUS majority he will never be able to run for president with any hope in hell of winning.

So, ya know, fuck his conflicts. Blame the President for picking such a fucking tool for a nominee.

Mitch McConnell still needs to okay this one week delay based on what I'm hearing.

Oh sure, that's not a compliment to him, but to the women who accosted him. I'm just pointing out I had hope for him based on his body language, and it turns out I was right.

Sorry, can't right now.... Beach Week!!!!!

He's a good guy, I am sure he will do what's best.

Well, if they don't have the votes (and it appears that they may not), it probably doesn't make much sense to go ahead with the Senate vote.

Somebody needs to do a mash-up of Mitch using the word "smear".

I don't think Kavanaugh should be too worried about this in all honesty. If he isn't confirmed I'm sure Eugene Melnyk will be on his doorstep offering up an assistant GM position within the week. Or when he sobers up, whichever comes first.

Though also it's fair to point out he at least has a conflict between his morality and values and his politics. That's a hell of a lot more than you can say about most of the rest of his party.
