It’s also ironic that Franken played the role of Paul Simon, a democrat senator on the judiciary committee during the Thomas/Hill hearing. Now his “handsiness” has cost the dems a vote during another one of their 12th hour “sexual misconduct/assault” accusations.

Committee members will vote tomorrow on whether to favorably recommend Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

I am very worried about Flake, and semi-worried about Ben Sasse.

The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on whether to favorably recommend Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court as previously scheduled Friday morning, though top GOP senators did not know as of Thursday night whether enough key Republican votes had been convinced to confirm President Donald Trump’s nominee.

The vote scheduled for Friday morning means undecided GOP members of the committee — including Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake — have just hours to publicly choose a side in a deeply polarizing political fight.

As of Thursday night, Flake — who also met earlier with fellow key votes Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin — told reporters, “There’s more doubt than certainty moving ahead.”

“This isn’t easy for anybody,” Flake told reporters. “Some of us have been talking for a while — similar questions I guess.”
