Page 3 - Flake Collins News Today

Is all but certain after one of the biggest political battles in modern history. A tough day for the women who went all out confronting lawmakers in person. Do you remember this moment . You have children in your family. Think about them. I have children. I cannot imagine that for the next 50 years they have to have someone in the Supreme Court who has been accused of violating a young girl. What are you doing, sir . Its hard to believe that was last friday. It did seem to push senator flake to ...

Which will move Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanagh a step closer to confirmation. Two critical republican votes, senator Susan Collins of maine and jeff flake of arizona, indicated yesterday that the fbi probe into kavanaugh was adequate. However, both caution they would continue to read the closelyheld report. Satisfying flake and collins as well as Lisa Murkowski of alaska would be enough to confirm kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Democrats are nearly unanimous in their opposition to kavanau...

I got to say that im proud of my colleagues for standing up on this issue. We ought to all be standing up on these issues. We want competent federal judges that are not biassed, who basically will abide by the laws themselves. This man is one of those people. Hold up. Last question. The democrats say one thing after this report. You all say another. Will the public ever get my sort of a view or summary of what this report says . Well it was very clear to us in the memorandum of 2009 between obam...

No closer to calming the controversy on this Supreme Court nominee. Protesters gathering in the Nations Capital right now. With the fbi report done, the vote for kavanaughs nomination appears to be on track to happen this weekend. However, as to whether we are closer to knowing if the man who may be the next Supreme Court justice committed Sexual Assault as a teenager, the answer remains as mired in partisanship as ever. The fact is, these allegations have not been corroborated. None of these al...

Difficult decision ahead of them, and the president probably didnt make it easier for them when, just days after calling dr. Ford a credible witness, the president said this. What hes going through, 36 years ago, this happened. I had one beer. Right . I had one beer. Well, do you think it was no, it was one beer. Oh, good. How did you get home . I dont remember. How did you get there, i dont remember. Where is the place . I dont remember. How many years ago was it . I dont know. I dont know. I d...

Victim play. Thats the focus of tonights angle. The democrats and many on this the left worked around the clock to kill Brett Kavanaughs nomination to the Supreme Court. But i think they made a fatal miscalculation. They thought it was okay along the way to jettison the principle of due process, and to use victims to pursue a radical political agenda. On the first Year Anniversary of the me too movement, i think its important to remember that this all started with liberal democrat harvey weinste...

Republican senator bob corker who is often critical of the Trump White House is supportive of Brett Kavanaugh. He echoed that. For me, again, no corroboration of any allegation that has been made. Not any corroboration. Very clear. There are many unknowns at this dramatic hour. Amid all of this, the only unknown that matters in the shortterm is this. How will the new fbi background check that senators are reviewing affect the decisions of five key senators it. The doors that you see on the scree...

Supplemental investigation. Why cant we read it first, why cant they read it first . If theres anything in the fbi Background Investigation that suggests theres not going to be a vote, theyre not going to take that chance and schedule a vote before anyones looking at it. In 50 years theyre going to say you just couldnt take the adequate time to pretend its worth studying and looking into. But alas there will be some procedural vote and after debate maybe a next vote. Senator murkily is going to ...

A statement after not announcing his intentions. Chuck schumer asked these folks, please, do not say how youre going to vote. Wait until the very end until its clear. He came out with a statement saying he was a yes for kavanaugh. The ford delegations and testimony gave him pause, but im not a sitting senator and i dont have access to the fbi investigation they have, so im still a yes. So if joe manchins yes vote was an indication, this is how a red state democrat who wants to get through in a d...

Its been a day of breaking news and broken politics. At this hour, judge kavanaugh has the votes to win confirmation to the Supreme Court, 5149 by our counting. You are looking live at the senate which is now running out the clock on debate ahead of tomorrows confirmation vote sometime saturday afternoon. It was on that floor just a short time ago that republican senator Susan Collins of maine with kavanaughs nomination hanging in the balance delivered a lengthy speech, ultimately concluding tha...
