Page 10 - Will Vote News Today

Cornering flake in this little room but a lot of republicans, including now senator grassley going over to that room to find out whats going on. you are 13, 14 minutes after the scheduled vote here. one thing and process that chris mentioned before, its not necessary for the senate judiciary to vote to recommend. they do have to vote, though. like they did with clarence thomas, the senate judiciary committee could come to no recommendation for a tag, or say we dont recommend this person to the s...

>> harris: bret baier, we will bring you back. were inching closer to a vote and this is a critical first vote for the senate judiciary committee and what they will do is they will take a look. it looks like its going to break out about 11 republicans to ten democrats, along party lines for those of us who have been watching and anticipate that people will participate fully, cory booker and kamala harris have said they will participate in this part of their duties today. we are going to pause fo...

With people being able to work things out? because it was really, really nasty, chris. >> let me talk first of all about the process because even if they were to vote not to refer the nomination of brett kavanaugh, that would not stop the senate from taking a vote. if you were to go down 11-10 rather than reported out favorably 11-10, it can still be brought to the senate floor in the way that would work is that tomorrow it would be brought up and on monday there would be a vote to cut off debat...

To let the fbi back into the investigation. are they talking about that? we dont know. senator flake is now back in the room and now this vote is seven, 8 minutes till eight and senator grassley is pretty time oriented when he said 1:30. >> harris: let me ask you about senator amy klobuchar from minnesota, because she laid it out like the former prosecutor we know her to be in terms of why you would want that fbi investigation to even happen now. and speaking to a delay. if democrats havent been...

Side of the aisle may be supportive as well. thats my position. i think that doing due diligence is important and i want to say that this committee has acted properly. the chairman has bent over backwards to do investigations from this committee. and to delay this vote in this committee for a week so that dr. ford can be heard. and she was yesterday. so thats without agreement. i will vote to advance the bill to the floor. one second, can diane speak? >> what are we voting on? we are voting on t...

Senator flake to speak. normally we would start the vote right now but as a point of personal privilege i would call on senator flake. >> thank you. i have been speaking with a number of people on the other side, we have had conversations on going for a while with regard to making sure that we do due diligence here. and i think it would be proper to delay the floor vote. for up to, but not more than one week. in order to let the fbi continue -- to do an investigation, limited in time and scope, ...

Of the story come and testify before the country just as dr. ford did, just as judge kavanaugh that did? why would you not want that if you are innocent? the only reason you would not want that is if you thought it would put you in a less credible light and i think the senate judiciary committee and the republicans on that committee have done a great disservice to the question of judicial fairness. >> harris: we are getting ready for this vote right now, you asked a question, judge kavanaugh and...

Peoples minds, obviously the country was riveted to the testimony yesterday, one assumes the voters back home well try to get in touch. >> harris: i want to talk to whats going on on the screen right now, we were postured for a vote at 1:30 p.m. eastern and weve slid just a few minutes from that. im going to ask you to sit by, stay close, please. i want to bring you back. we are seeing senators take their seats but we are seeing some gathering within that room. its a hearing room, not a courtroo...

Would have accomplished more than what she felt as a prosecutor specializing in sex crimes, she was able to accomplish yesterday. amy klobuchar used to have a similar job was laying out the case for democrats for why this needs to go forth just a couple days. i heard the language of a week even being a delay. lets bring in chris wallace no now, as this delay is playing out on screen, we are 10 minutes beyond that vote, we know senator grassley to be a stickler about time, we saw him shore up tho...

Standard of deduction. trillions of repatriotation of foreign capitol and simplification of the tax code they feel will get it done tonight absent surprises from ascertains from arizona. >> huge, huge win. i think we are on pence alert. >> waiting to see what will happen here. what are you making of the tax bill here and do you think that, you know, it is looking auspicious for this to go through. >> i got off the phone with a senior source with senate republicans they are can have the. 51 votes...
