EternalShinyAndChrome 4,157 Posted September 29, 2018 I'm serious. I'm reading the republicans couldn't call a vote because the Democrats wouldn't come to the table (I don't know if this is true or how the rules work, 100%). Flake told the Dems he would vote yes as long as the FBI would investigate. The Dems see this as another Russia investigation they can tie up until after the midterm where they hope to regain control. The Dems agreed to come to the table to vote. The vote happened and that is why the Dems where so confused. They didn't understand they where only voting for moving the nomination forward. They thought they could send it forward with amendment of another FBI investigation. Turns out the committee doesn't have that authority. Which the chair explained to them after the vote. You can hear Crazy Maxxzeen Waters screaming "WHAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!" Once her slow brain caught up to what happened and why the Dems walked out. They got bamboozeled. In comes Trump to take advantage of the opportunity. He says, you know what will honor the Dems FBI request. He tweets out this is the "7th time the FBI will investigate Kav." This shows rational Americans how crazy the Dems are. Anyone with a brain knows Trump will have sessions put a trusted agent on the case. He is in control of this investigating not the Dems. Which is why you will see the media push to say certian people need to be involved in the investigation. Next week, the FBI will say what everyone already knows. There is no evidence including written statements from those Ford says was at the party that a crime took place. The vote will happen Friday and Kav will be a SCOTUS judge. ETA - I guarantee Ford will NOT play ball with FBI. IF that is the case, then he completely fooled me too. I've been cursing his name since yesterday If this was some sort of planned sequence, then good god it worked and I'll apologize for taking his name in vain numerous times. But I doubt it. Flake looked like a guy who caved and hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,790 Posted September 29, 2018 The level of stupid all the way around on this one just kills me. Meanwhile, rehnquist was a bigger drug addict than Jim Morrison. He was a clear and present danger to not only our judicial system but two our very country itself. He spent more time getting so-called treated for drug addiction then he did actually sitting on the bench, but that didn't stop him from ruling on literally every single case. But Americans and American Media are too fuucking stupid for that. Meanwhile we've got Alyssa Milano as our reigning expert on all matters judicial. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They called the vote. Everyone voted and there was 2-5 minutes of after talk and the chair closed the session down using the 2 hour rule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seafoam1 3,097 Posted September 29, 2018 And this is why race relations continue to be strained. This is from a New York Times article; Matias Reyes, confessed that he alone had attacked and raped the woman. DNA evidence confirmed his story. You and Trump are ridiculous and scary that you refuse to believe truth over your own biased conclusions. Typical liberal race-baiter at work here folks. Everyone go grab your picket sign and let's head to the capital. You know, the sign that says: "Please dear government, grow to a size of epic proportions and take care of us and our thoughts and our bank accounts. We can't function without you." Or you can grab your second favorite: ":picture of a bloody vagina:" Or your third favorite: "Please dear government: take all of my money and give it to some whining liberal such as peenie in the form of some government handout" In any case, write thank you letters to the new york slime editors for keeping their readers ill-informed and basically down right nuts.

12th Man 884 Posted September 29, 2018 No one really cares what happens to black women, hence Clarence Thomas.Correct. I dont give a shite about a black woman who lies to help the twisted Dems.

IMMensaMind 462 Posted September 29, 2018 A black man without a considerable amount of money, power and fame has always been considered guilty of crimes especially when accused by white women. This country notoriously punishes even the innocent at the sight of white women's tears. Happens to black men accused by black women as well, so I don't see how your point attempting to make it about race is valid. https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Woman-Falsely-Accused-Brian-Banks-Rape-Ordered-to-Pay-26M-211689741.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 5,301 Posted September 29, 2018 Can anyone confirm they need the Democrats in the room in order to call a vote? I still don't know the rules. The timing was interesting too. They called the vote. Everyone voted and there was 2-5 minutes of after talk and the chair closed the session down using the 2 hour rule. The need 2 members of the minority party for their to be a quorum. Senate Judiciary Rules Seven Members of the Committee, actually present, shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of discussing business. Nine Members of the Committee, including at least two Members of the minority, shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of transacting business. No bill, matter, or nomination shall be ordered reported from the Committee, however, unless a majority of the Committee is actually present at the time such action is taken and a majority of those present support the action taken. So if there are not 2 members of the minority party, they couldn't call a vote to pass the judicial nominee. If the majority party had the votes, they could file a discharge petition in the senate. In this case, I doubt that would work with Flake, Collins and Murkowski seeming to want to slow this down a bit. Can the Senate force a Supreme Court nomination vote? Senate Committee Rules in the 115th Congress: Key Provisions I'm not seeing anywhere that all the Democrats walked away from the table, just the four women.

Sorry, when you said you "read" that they couldn't vote to move the nominee to the floor because the Dems wouldn't come to the table. There was a quorum when Senator Grassley scheduled the vote to move the nominee to the floor. So where is the Dems agreed to come to the table stuff, where are you reading this, since the entire meeting was public---that stuff didn't happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So where is the Dems agreed to come to the table stuff, where are you reading this, since the entire meeting was public---that stuff didn't happen. Ahhh okay no problem. I read that flake met with the Dems before the meeting and that's when he told them the only way he would vote yes was if there was another FBI investigation.

Let's keep this one in its proper context. The Dem's are very scared that another replublican-placed judge could potentially screw with their long term agenda, they are hoping to delay this appointment and snatch some seats that could force a more leftist style judge be named later. That's all. The Dem's will stop at nothing to achieve this, the long term social-based agenda is on the line, their voter base is dialed into the social justice clan, they have to appease them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
